Vertical Shaft Excavation in Rock – 6 × 6 m, 50 m Depth

Project Details

  • Location: Sweden / Finland
  • Shaft size: 6 × 6 m
  • Depth: 50 m
  • Method: Diamond wire sawing
  • Scope: Vertical shaft excavation in rock


Excavating a vertical shaft in rock of this size and depth requires high precision and full control over the cutting process. Using diamond wire sawing, Trosscut was able to maintain straight shaft geometry over the full 50 metre depth, ensuring accurate dimensions and clean rock surfaces.

The method generates minimal vibration, making it ideal for projects located near existing structures or in sensitive environments. Compared to blasting, wire sawing provides a controlled and predictable excavation result.

Vertical shaft cutting is widely used in:

  • Underground construction
  • Tunnel access shafts
  • Infrastructure projects
  • Utility and service shafts

With proven experience across the Nordic region, Trosscut delivers reliable solutions for shaft construction, rock cutting, and underground excavation projects.
