In the market for wall sawing but need to know more about what it is?

In this article, we’ll discuss what wall sawing actually is, when it’s used, whether you can do it yourself and why you should work with the professionals at Alpha Concrete Cutting.

So What is Wall Sawing?

Otherwise known as track sawing, wall sawing is when we use saws to create openings in walls. This is commonly completed with a diamond blade circular saw mounted to a track. In this way, the technique can be used to create cuts at both a horizontal and vertical angle.

When is it Used?

There are several reasons why you might opt for the wall sawing technique. Some of the most popular applications include:

– creating openings for walls and doors
– opening up space for HVAC systems
– demolition or removal
– cutting precast concrete

Can You Do Wall Sawing Yourself?

No. As with all methods of concrete cutting, you require a licence to perform wall sawing. This is because you need specific training and knowledge to operate a wall or track saw correctly and safely.  You also need to be aware of your surroundings, particularly when on a worksite or construction project where there are usually a number of other trades and people working alongside you.

Things to Consider Before Wall Sawing

Let’s explore the things you need to consider before performing wall sawing, and the reasons why you should work with the professionals at Alpha Concrete Cutting when requiring such services.

Licensing & Permits

As we said, it is illegal to perform wall sawing without valid permits and licences. To complete the job professionally, you need to make sure these things are in hand before you start.

You also need to be aware of the local laws, regulations and guidelines, which is often something only experienced concrete cutters are aware of and have access to.

As much as you may try to research the issue yourself, the average person can never really be sure they have all the latest information. It is for this reason that you should choose to work with the knowledgeable, qualified team at Alpha Concrete Cutting.

Specialist Equipment & Safety Provisions

As with any type of concrete cutting, wall sawing requires its own specialist equipment. Our team has decades of experience working with and operating the heavy duty equipment required to complete wall sawing, as well as all the necessary safety provisions and clothing.

As such, we are well equipped to manage risks such as toxic fumes, uneven surfaces and tight spaces. This is not something you can guarantee if you try to do it yourself (which we would never recommend).

The Size of the Job & How Long it Will Take

As professionals with decades of experience in the industry, we have seen and done it all. This makes it easy for us to estimate the size of your job, how much manpower is required and how long it will take to complete.
