Wall Sawing is the process of cutting openings such as doors or windows in concrete walls and foundations, usually no more than 16″ thick but in some cases up to 36″ thick. This is accomplished by using a saw that attaches to a track on the wall to be cut. This process utilizes a 24″ to 84″ diameter diamond blade that can cut from one side. This aspect of our business requires the most skill and cannot easily be done by your average layman. As stated, wall sawing may entail cutting openings in concrete foundations but may also include lowering a foundation elevation, entire foundation removal and also the cutting of concrete retaining walls in part or in whole.
Slab sawing, also known as flat sawing, is used to cut horizontal flat concrete surfaces such as floors, bridge decks and pavement. Slab saws feature a diamond blade that is mounted on a walk-behind machine that requires only one operator. We can cut up to 27 inches in depth but generally only 8 inches or less is necessary for most applications. Slab sawing is the perfect solution for making penetrations or openings in concrete floors to access and repair a broken water pipe or sewer line. Other typical uses for flat sawing is- sawing for new machine foundations, highway patching, plumbing trenches (we also remove and re-pour) and Runway repair.
