Concrete saw cutting — also known as flat/road sawing — is a quick and efficient diamond method used for cutting horizontal surfaces such as concrete slabs, floors, bridge decks, and pavement.  Saw cutting gained popularity in the concrete cutting industry because it is versatile, practical, and cost efficient.   Slab saws are typically powered by gasoline, diesel, electric, or hydraulic engines. Compared to jack hammering, saw cutting is faster, quieter, and less stressful to structural areas. The applications for saw cutting are virtually endless, and the procedure can be performed on a variety of structures, both indoors and outdoors.
