Saw cutting means using specialized diamond-blade saws to make precise cuts in concrete, asphalt, or masonry for new openings, expansion joints, or partial structural removals.
Core drilling means drilling perfectly round holes through slabs, walls, or footings for pipes, conduits, anchor bolts, or structural tests.
| Scenario | What We Do |
|---|---|
| Add door/window in block wall | Wall saw creates precise opening |
| Plumbing or HVAC upgrades | Core drill holes for new lines |
| Structural adjustment | Controlled cut before beam or pier install |
| Slab removal | Saw cut edges for clean break, no over-cut |
| Expansion joint | Cut concrete to control cracking |

| 2. Utility Coordination | Confirm live lines off or rerouted | Zero shock or gas hit |
| 3. Saw Type Selection | Pick slab saw, wall saw, wire saw, or hand saw | Best match for depth & control |
| 4. Dust & Slurry Control | Wet-cut or vacuum shroud + containment | Meets OSHA silica rules |
| 5. Core Drilling | Diamond core bits cut 2″ to 36″ holes | Smooth edges, no blowout |
| 6. Clean & Dispose | Collect slurry, remove cut chunks, patch if needed | Passes inspection, job-ready |

Q: Can I cut concrete myself?
It’s risky — hitting rebar, conduit, or PT cables can cost $1,000s in repairs.
Q: How deep can you core?
Up to 36″ standard — more with custom bits or from both sides.
Q: What happens to the slurry?
We vacuum, filter, and dispose per code — no illegal runoff.
