Concrete Saw Cutting

We use synthetic diamond blades for most of our concrete cutting projects. Originally, concrete cutting blades used natural diamonds. However, today we use synthetic diamond blades. These are engineered specifically for the aggregates in concrete and asphalt. As a result, cuts are cleaner and more precise.

We’ll match the saw strength, speed and power source to your project. If your concrete cutting project is indoors, we often choose to use an electric concrete cutting saw. These saws don’t produce any fumes and are ideal for indoor projects. If we’re working on an infrastructure project away from power sources, we usually opt for a diesel concrete saw.

Concrete cutters at R.J. Potteiger Construction Services, Inc. have extensive experience with different concrete sawing and core drilling techniques. Many of our employees are also cross-trained in different construction disciplines. This helps us match employees with the right training and experience for your job.

High-quality workmanship and safety are a key part of our company’s ideals. That means our team members are constantly learning innovative techniques for the highest-quality concrete cuts. Your project will benefit from our state-of-the-art concrete cutting tools, cutting-edge work techniques and new methods to minimize waste and increase efficiency.

Yes. We offer a variety of concrete cutting services for installing and accessing plumbing lines. If you have an industrial or commercial project that requires access to major plumbing and sewer lines, consider concrete slab sawing. This is an ideal way to gain access to utility areas with minimal damage to the surrounding asphalt.

We’re also a concrete cutting contractor for installing new plumbing in residential or commercial projects. We often use wall cutting or hand sawing techniques to cut new openings for plumbing or electrical lines. When you hire us for a project, we’ll work with you to choose the right saws and concrete cutting techniques for your plumbing lines.

Many of our concrete cutters are cross-trained in other construction disciplines. That means that we’re able to work effectively with plumbers, electricians, and other trade specialists. On any project, we look for ways to minimize downtime for other tradesmen while maintaining the highest quality standards for our work.

We provide concrete core drilling services to industrial and commercial clients throughout Central Pennsylvania and beyond. Our core drilling services page provides more information about the types of core drilling we offer.

Like concrete slab cutting, grinding is used to smoothen and level a concrete surface. Concrete grinding is often used to level driveways, sidewalks, and other trip hazards. Concrete grinders are usually handheld devices that can be operated with minimal training.

There are two major differences between concrete cutting and concrete grinding. The first major difference is how much concrete or asphalt can be removed in a single pass. Where concrete grinders wear down the surface of the concrete, a cutter actually slides through the material. This allows us to make precision cuts up to 24 inches deep. We sometimes use a special blade to allow us to cut up to 27 inches into a slab.

The second major difference is the intricacy of cuts that a concrete cutter offers. Concrete cutters have more advanced controls, as well as tracks that allow us to cut precise lines. When we’re working on a project where the correct measurements are essential, concrete cutting gives us more control.

We are able to cut almost all types of concrete, including reinforced concrete. We offer concrete cutting services for poured concrete (slab foundations), pre-cast concrete components like walls and roof pieces, and concrete panels.

R.J. Potteiger Construction Services, Inc. is also experienced with the challenges that come with industrial concrete cutting. We are able to slab cut or wall cut reinforced concrete, such as that used in concrete foundations, beams and utility structures. If your project involves concrete that’s reinforced with rebar, we’ll work with you to develop a concrete cutting strategy with minimal impact on the surrounding materials.

Concrete cutting has other applications, as well. From concrete pipes to asphalt roads and utility trenches, there are a number of materials that can be sawed with concrete cutting techniques.
