Flat Sawing Services
Heavy weight and durable materials such as concrete and asphalt are used daily for various building projects around the country. Thanks to modern technology, these materials are designed to withstand the test of time and the elements. However, due to their nature, making repairs and replacements can present some issues. The primary issue is how to cut into concrete and asphalt safely and accurately without harming the integrity of the existing structures or existing finishes that are to remain while adjacent material is to be removed. Many times, the answer to this problem is flat sawing. Flat saws should only be handled by those with special training, skills, and experience.
The need to make modifications to hardened materials such as concrete or asphalt is a fairly common occurrence. Many times, these modifications take place on flat surfaces like parking lots, exterior paving or interior floors. The jackhammer used to be the tool of choice to make these modifications, but this isn’t a very reliable, safe, or accurate method. Thanks to modern technology, specialized flat saws are now the tool of choice for this kind of projects. Our clean air flat saws with diamond segmented circular blades are best for this and offer many advantages. Some of these advantages include precise line cuts, easy cutting through a wide range of materials such as asphalt or concrete with rebar or wire mesh, speed, efficiency, and an easy clean up process.
The modern day clean air flat saws are a wonderful invention that has many uses in the construction and remodeling field. Some uses include:
• asphalt cutting
• concrete cutting (including roads, driveways, and sidewalks)
• creating expansion joints
• creating trenches so building utilities can be properly installed
• accessing building utilities to make necessary repairs or replacements
• removing damaged segments of hard materials
• repairing cracks
• demolition of slabs and foundations
• removal of damaged sections of pavement
Some project or construction managers may be tempted to rent a flat saw and perform the necessary work themselves in order to try and save time and money. However, relying on an untrained worker to perform work with a flat saw can lead to a myriad of problems. You may end up with inaccurate cuts, cuts that aren’t precise, or workplace injuries. All of these things will end up costing you more money and will increase your project time.
