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.
