WALL SAWING

Wall sawing is a specialized skill. When you’re doing tenant improvement or remodeling you often need a clean-cut line through existing concrete, concrete missionary unit (CMU) or red brick walls to create

• new windows
• doors
• duct openings
• clean lines to break to for building demolition

The Nichols team has many years of experience in wall sawing.

The saw is powered by both compressed air and hydraulic motors and runs on a track that is bolted to the wall.

The blades are then placed on the motor shaft and turned into the wall, grinding through the material ¼” wide leaving the surrounding areas clean and neat. The saw can cut from 6” up to 24” deep. A 24” cut requires a 54” round concrete saw blade in order to grind through that much material. The depth of the cut required determines the size of the blade.

We also use a wall saw when we have to cut in places with restricted access or tight spaces, because the equipment can be carried by hand.
