How a cut runs

  1. Scan & snap linesGPR first, then the cut lines go down on the slab.
  2. Cut to depthOne pass, wet, straight and to the set depth.
  3. Break out & haulPieces come out and leave the site as needed.
  4. Pour it backWant it closed again? Matched to the finish around it.

What flat sawing is

A walk-behind saw runs a diamond blade through horizontal concrete or asphalt at a set depth. One technician can cut long, straight lines quickly, wet, with the slurry contained.

Typical jobs

  • Trenching for plumbing and electrical
  • Slab removals and repairs
  • Expansion and control joints
  • Basement and garage floor openings
  • Road, curb and pavement cuts

How NoCo does it

Scan, snap the lines, cut to depth, break out and haul as needed, and — if you want the slab closed again — pour it back matched to the surrounding finish.

Every job starts with a scan

Every NoCo job starts the same way. We scan the slab or wall with ground penetrating radar to map rebar, post-tension cables, conduit and voids. Then we choose the right tool — a track-mounted wall saw for openings, a rig-mounted core drill for round penetrations, a walk-behind flat saw for slabs and pavement — and cut once, straight and to depth. When we open something up, our pour-back service can close it again with concrete matched to the surrounding grade and finish.

Who we work for

General contractors and builders who need openings cut on schedule. Plumbers, electricians and HVAC contractors who need clean penetrations without collateral damage. Property owners and managers modifying an existing building. Homeowners adding a basement window or a new door. Municipal and commercial crews cutting roads and slabs. Residential or commercial, one hole or a whole floor — the standard is the same.

Common questions

Answers before you call.

Indoor or outdoor?

Both; indoor jobs run on electric or propane saws with water and dust control.

How deep?

Depth follows the blade; tell us the slab thickness.
