What is Slab Cutting?

Slab cutting is a process by which horizontal surfaces are cut in a straight line to allow for processes such as demolition, repair, and improvements to take place. Similar in process to wall sawing, slab cutting is efficient, low dust, and cost effective.

Saws are typically powered by gasoline, diesel, electric, or hydraulics. Gasoline and diesel powered saws are used primarily in outdoor or large well ventilated projects, whereas electric or hydraulic saws can be used outdoors as well, but also indoors where fumes would be unacceptable.

Specialists with slab saws can make quick work of many projects, and can also coordinate with other teams such as plumbers, demolition, electricians, etc to ensure the project requirements are met in a timely manner.
