Wall Sawing 101: Cutting Openings for Doors, Windows & Utilities

Wall sawing job

Concrete wall sawing is one of the most precise and efficient methods used in modern construction and renovation. When a project requires clean, straight openings in vertical or sloped concrete surfaces, wall sawing is the preferred solution. At Kansas City Coring & Cutting, we specialize in professional wall sawing that delivers accuracy, safety, and structural integrity on every job.

Wall sawing uses a track-mounted system equipped with a diamond blade that runs along a rigid guide rail. This design allows for exact, level cuts in concrete, brick, or masonry walls. The saw is typically powered hydraulically or electrically, depending on the environment. Because the machine is mounted to the wall itself, it maintains consistent depth and alignment from start to finish.

This method is ideal for creating new openings for doors, windows, stairways, vents, and utility access points. It’s also used in retrofitting projects, such as modifying existing buildings to meet new code requirements or expanding commercial spaces. Compared to manual or impact methods, wall sawing produces a smoother finish, less vibration, and minimal dust.

Safety and precision are the top priorities in every wall sawing project. Our technicians use Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to locate rebar, post-tension cables, and embedded utilities before cutting begins. This prevents costly damage and ensures clean, structurally sound results.

Whether you are modifying an industrial facility or adding an opening to a residential foundation, Kansas City Coring & Cutting has the equipment and expertise to complete the job efficiently and safely.
