No matter the setting, cutting through concrete takes hard work, attention to detail, and the right equipment. Different jobs require different gear, so Interstate Sawing is constantly innovating to provide the best tools for the task.
We rely on electric concrete saws and battery-powered equipment for a cleaner, quieter work environment. Our demolition robots are safe and fit into nearly any space. Our fleet also includes a variety of top-of-the-line saws, including core drills, wall saws, wire saws, slab saws, and hydraulic chain saws. With this equipment in hand, we approach any job with ease.
Indoor/Outdoor Flexibility
As pioneers in our industry, we use specialized equipment to cut concrete in both indoor and outdoor spaces. This flexibility lets us tackle any job, no matter the setting. Older machinery in the demolition business has long relied on diesel power.
We recognize the strength of these tools, but we’ve forged a greener path forward. We rely heavily on battery-powered and electric equipment, including the electric concrete saw. This equipment runs quieter and releases no fumes, so it works well indoors. It’s also less disruptive outdoors, and it delivers the same power as older, diesel-powered tools.
Industrial, Commercial, & Interior Settings
Interstate Sawing has the right equipment for any work site. We understand the importance of safety, and we have experience working in industrial, commercial, and interior settings.
Industrial sites require tools that crews can operate with the utmost care. Some jobs even call for remote operation. Built-in cameras let us operate Brokk demolition robots remotely, so a crew can stay off-site without sacrificing timely job completion.
Our equipment also keeps commercial sites up and running during demolition, repair, or construction. Interior settings need less cleanup thanks to our approach, and we have equipment that fits into the narrowest of indoor spaces. It’s our decades of experience that have given us insight into the best equipment for the job, no matter the setting.
Meet the Fleet: Equipment Used for Cutting Through Concrete
Every job calls for a different tool, so we’ve built a fleet of specialized equipment to match. Here’s a closer look at the concrete cutter machines and saws we rely on most.
Core Drill
Also known as a concrete hole saw, a core drill creates a round hole in an otherwise solid concrete surface. Crews need these holes for reasons ranging from HVAC to plumbing to electrical wiring. In other words, most construction projects require core drilling at some stage of the process. We use diamond core drill bits to keep every hole smooth and precise. Whether we’re using the smallest, quarter-inch core drill or drilling a core over 80 inches, we guarantee a job well done.
Wall Saw
Wall saws are track-mounted saws equipped with a concrete cutting blade. Crews use them indoors or outdoors to cut through vertical surfaces, which is necessary for installing doors, windows, and other openings in a building. Wall saws make precise, linear cuts. Operators position wall saws flush with the surface being cut, which delivers highly accurate results.
Wire Saw
Wire saws can cut through virtually any material at any angle, including concrete. These saws use a loop of highly durable wire that moves at high speed to make cuts. This design makes wire saws adaptable and effective for cutting in difficult-to-reach areas and on large-scale sites alike.
Slab Saw
Also known as a road saw or flat saw, this concrete cutter works on horizontal surfaces. Slab saws have been around a long time, and for good reason: they’re a mainstay in road and street maintenance. They offer a fast way to excavate with little damage to the surrounding area. Crews also use slab saws for a variety of indoor applications.
Hydraulic Chain Saw
Hydraulic chain saws, a type of concrete chain saw, work alongside ring saws as smaller, handheld tools. Crews use them to access tight or hard-to-reach areas like ceilings. They also make precise cuts and smooth out bigger ones. Ring saws are a familiar tool to many, and some cuts simply require a human touch.
From core drills to hydraulic chain saws, each tool in our fleet plays a specific role in getting the job done safely and efficiently.
Constantly Creating
These are just some of the main examples of the equipment we use to meet our clients’ needs, and we’re constantly creating new tools as well. When a job requires something new, we embrace the opportunity to adapt our approach and match equipment to your exact scenario.
Cutting through concrete requires both manpower and machine power, and we specialize in both. In fact, as leaders in the industry, we design many of our machines in-house for specific jobs. Many of these have since become mainstays in our fleet. So whether you’re building, demolishing, excavating, or remodeling, we have the right equipment for the job.
