Concrete Wall Sawing – Why Precision Cutting Matters

Commercial construction projects require precision-oriented cuts in equally challenging materials, such as brick and concrete.

Wall sawing utilizes a track-mounted saw that allows for precise cuts in walls, floors, roofs, footings, and beams. It is vital to make precise cuts, especially when preparing for elevator openings, windows, doors, stairs, HVAC openings, and more.

It is also imperative to plan for the depth of the cut needed. Concrete wall sawing often requires sawing depths of up to three feet on each side, or a total depth of up to six feet. When hiring a specialist, ensure that their saws can provide the depth you need. Some services offer shorter blades, and will not be able to perform the job you require. Devices such as those employed by Cobra Concrete Cutting Services Co., allow for flush cuts. With both electric and hydraulic wall sawing capabilities, Cobra’s approaches are versatile as well.

Wall saws, also known as concrete track saws, use a diamond blade that allows for horizontal and vertical cuts. This is important when cutting on a steep incline. You need openings that are precise, and edges that are smooth and ready for fixture fit. Choose only seasoned professionals with high-quality machinery for your job, and you will save time, money, and headaches. Since concrete services often charge by the linear foot, one estimate may come in considerably higher or lower than the other; be sure to factor in the company’s experience and machinery.

Compare conventional concrete removal techniques with today’s diamond-cutting technology. Conventional methods are painfully slow, loud, and labor-intensive. Wall sawing with updated machinery allows faster material removal, and is relatively quiet. Conventional methods yield ragged cuts that offer a poor fit, and considerable patchwork is required, which creates yet another timely delay.

Dirt, debris, and excessive rubble are also components involved in conventional concrete removal. Diamond cutting systems employed by cutting-edge specialists protect your site from disarray, allowing for less cleanup, fewer workers, and protection for surrounding structures. Concrete service companies with the latest equipment can also work in tighter spaces, and even in remote environments.

Careful consideration of a wall cutter’s experience and certification, along with understanding the type of machinery the company employs, ensures that a job is done with efficiency, precision, and integrity. The CSDA, or Concrete Sawing and Drilling Association, provides classes and certification for concrete companies and their employees. Look for professionals and service companies with non-profit CSDA certifications and you will find experienced, vetted workers.
