Slab sawing—also known as flat sawing—is a quick and efficient method used for cutting surfaces such as concrete slabs, control joints, bridge decks, and roadways. Slab sawing creates a clean cut, preventing spalling and cracking.

  • Cutting reinforced concrete floors, control joints, and trenche­­­s
  • Cuts up to 24″ deep, with specialty cuts up to 27″
  • Used for mechanical and electrical trenching
  • Preparation for new footing installations in existing structures
  • New structural slab openings for stairways, elevators, mechanical penetrations, etc.
  • Removal of a damaged or deteriorated slab
  • Cutting of control joints in new concrete
  • Runways and bridge deck reconstruction or repair
