What Is Floor Sawing?
Straight, deep cuts through flat concrete structures
Floor sawing is a fast and precise technique used to modify flat structures such as concrete floors, roadways, bridges and suspended slabs, with cutting depths of up to 500mm. On roadways, floor saws efficiently cut asphalt and concrete, allowing for swift repairs and modifications while maintaining clean, straight edges.
This method is ideal for cutting through reinforced concrete, pre-cast concrete and other structural materials when level, flat surfaces require modification. Floor sawing plays a crucial role in creating expansion joints, openings for ducts, elevators, stairwells, machine pads and conduit trenches, and in preparing sections for controlled demolition.
Where it’s used
Widely applied across floors, rooftops, bridge decks and suspended slabs, floor sawing ensures a smooth, precise finish that simplifies subsequent paving and pouring work.
Applications
What floor sawing is used for
Expansion Joints
Precise joint cutting in slabs to accommodate concrete movement and prevent cracking.
Duct & Trench Openings
Straight-edged trenches and openings for conduit, ducting and cable runs.
Lift & Stairwell Openings
Accurate openings for elevator shafts and stairwells in existing slabs.
Machine Pads
Clean-edged pads for mounting industrial and mechanical equipment.
Road & Bridge Repairs
Asphalt and concrete cutting on roadways and bridge decks for fast, clean repairs.
Demolition Prep
Pre-cutting sections ahead of a controlled demolition for safer, more predictable removal.
