Flat/Slab Sawing
Flat saws feature a diamond blade that is mounted on a walk behind machine. They are used to remove concrete sections for demolition purposes, remove damaged pavement sections, and prepare cracks for repair.
Wall Sawing
Wall sawing employs a hydraulically driven, diamond blade saw, mounted on a track. The track is attached to a steep incline or horizontal wall that would not permit the use of a flat saw. Track sawing allows precise cutting to door, window, and vent openings.
Diamond Cutting Systems
Diamond cutting systems are fast and require fewer operators compared to conventional concrete removal systems. Diamond cutting allows pre-outage work to be accomplished. Diamond cutting systems allow for precise cutting, which eliminates or limits patchwork. Diamond cutting is vibration free and allows for the removal of large amounts of concrete while maintaining structural integrity.

Core Drilling
Core drilling techniques are used when precise, circular cuts are needed. Core drilling is commonly used for creating holes for routing pipes and cables, for installing anchoring devices, or for analysis of concrete structures, rock, or strata.
Wire Sawing
Wire sawing is a method for slicing and cutting silicon wafers, granite, marble, and stone. In wire sawing, a taut steel wire is run through an abrasive slurry of silicon carbide, which acts as the cutting agent between the workpiece and the wire. Wire sawing is commonly used in the granite and stone cutting industry, silicon wafer production, and other crystal cutting applications. The wire sawing method is particularly effective for semiconductor materials because it cuts crystals with a high yield and small kerf loss.

Hand Sawing
Hand sawing refers to the lighter duty use of diamond blades in handheld power saws and chain type saws. Hand sawing provides portability, speed, and accessibility at construction and demolition sites. Typical applications include sawing concrete pipe to length; creating openings for electrical, plumbing, or other needs in concrete walls, floors, and ceilings; eliminating overcuts associated with other types of sawing; and precision trimming.
