Openings & penetrations
We cut the doorway. You walk through it.
Track-mounted wall saws make clean vertical and horizontal cuts through concrete and masonry of virtually any thickness — door and window openings, HVAC penetrations, stair openings — ready to finish.
Clean, square door, window and duct openings through concrete and masonry.
What it is
Wall Sawing.
Precise vertical and horizontal cuts through walls of virtually any thickness. Track-mounted wall saws let us create clean door and window openings, HVAC penetrations and stair openings in concrete and masonry — straight, square and ready to finish.
What it's for
- Door & window openings
- Precise depth control
- Concrete & masonry
- Flush cuts
The detail
How NoCo does it.
We GPR-scan the wall first, lay out the opening with you, and cut with water control and dust management in place. Overcuts are avoided with a chainsaw finish at the corners when the job calls for it. When the piece is removed, the edges are square and ready for framing or finish.
What wall sawing is
A wall saw runs a diamond blade along a track bolted to the wall, so the cut is perfectly straight and the depth is controlled to the inch. It cuts where a hand saw can't reach the thickness and a demolition hammer would leave a ragged edge.
The tools
- Track-mounted wall saw — thick walls, long straight cuts, flush to floors and ceilings
- Hand saw — shallow cuts and tight spots
- Ring saw — deep cuts in confined spaces
- Concrete chainsaw — square inside corners with no overcut
Typical jobs
- Door and window openings in foundations and tilt-up panels
- HVAC, duct and pipe penetrations
- Stair and elevator openings
- Expansion joints and partial wall removals
Common questions
Answers before you call.
- How thick a wall can you cut?
- Track saws handle walls well beyond what hand tools reach; tell us the thickness and we'll match the blade.
- Will there be dust and water?
- Wet cutting controls dust; we manage the water and leave the site clean.
