Slab Sawing
The slab saw, the most commonly
used method for removal and
alteration of concrete, is a large
2,000 lb walk-behind, motorized
piece of equipment used primarily to
cut horizontal flat surfaces such as
floors, bridge decks, and pavements.
Also referred to as a flat saw, it is a
cost effective and time saving
means to provide sawing for
expansion joints, removal of
damaged parking lot sections or
isolation of slabs to remove for
demolition purposes.
Gas and Diesel Slab Sawing are the
most common options used for
applications outside, where there
are no confined spaces that would
trap any fumes created as a by-
product of the gas motor. Using our
wet cut diamond blades, the slab
saw is capable of cutting, dust-free,
up to 33" deep.
Electric Slab Sawing is a common
method used for interior cutting
when gas and diesel engines are not
permitted, there is a lack of
ventilation, or contamination to
product or personnel is a primary
concern. Typical application for
interior electric slab sawing is within
businesses that produce or store
food and drugs, small spaces within
highrise buildings or underground
utility installation.
Our electric saws are powered by 3
Phase/480 Volt generators equipped
on our trucks and are capable of
cutting up to 24" deep.
Wall Sawing
Wall sawing is the most versatile
method used for the removal and
alteration of concrete. The wall saw
is a track mounted machine that uses
diamond blades for cutting new door,
window, mechanical, or other wall
penetrations. The wall saw is also
commonly used on any vertical wall,
or bridge space, where the area is too
small for large equipment access.
The power source for wall sawing is
typically hydraulic or high-cycle
electric, which is preferred to avoid
the chance of any line spills which
could become hazardous. The wall
saw can mount to any surface
whether it be a vertical wall, floor,
steep incline or overhead, making
alteration and removal of tricky
concreted areas a little less
troublesome. With the use of wet-cut
diamond blades, wall saws are
capable of cutting dust-free up to 32"
deep.
Hand sawing is a method for cutting
concrete which utilizes hand-held
devices and is most ideal for cutting
in small, confined areas or anywhere
that the use of conventional
equipment and methods is restricted.
Hand sawing typically refers to the
lighter duty use of diamond blades;
therefore, allowing for portability,
speed and accessibility at restrictive
or smaller construction and
demolition sites.
Hydraulic and electric hand sawing is
generally used for sawing concrete
pipe to length; creating openings for
electrical, HVAC and plumbing
purposes; correcting overcuts
associated with other types of
sawing; and/or precision trimming.
Our operators are equipped with
hand-held devices capable of cutting
material from 4" to 12" deep.
Core Drilling
& Chain Sawing
Core drilling, most commonly used
when a circular hole is needed for
passage through a concrete
structure or surface, is most
typically used for drilling holes for
plumbing and pipe work and for
electrical and/or HVAC installation
purposes. Other reasons for
choosing the core drilling method
would be feeding telecommunication
lines or for anchor bolts. Holes can
be drilled at multiple orientations,
including vertical, horizontal and
inverted or angled penetrations. The
core drill is also portable and can be
hand-held or mounted for drilling
purposes. B&D provides drill sizes in
1/2" increments up to 60" in
diameter.
Chain sawing, while perfect in
theory, reigns as "champion" of the
most expensive means for cutting
concrete. Chain sawing is most
effectively used for eliminating
overcuts and cutting smaller
dimensioned wall and slab cuts.
Alpha Omega provides this service
only when all other possible
alternatives for saving money and
effectively cutting the area for
removal or isolation have been ruled
out.
Our equipment inventory hold over
20+ different sized chainsaws.
Please consult aN ALPHA OMEGA
sales professional for less expensive
options available to you before
solidifying a decision for using this
method.
