When wall saws reach their limit, wire sawing takes over. Using a diamond-plated wire looped through pulleys and driven by a hydraulic motor, we make accurate and precise cuts in heavily reinforced members at virtually any depth or shape, ideal for selective demolition and large removals.
Diamond Wire Sawing Services for Mass Concrete and Complex Shapes
What Is Concrete Wire Sawing?
Diamond wire sawing is a low-kerf, precision cutting method where a tensioned, diamond-embedded wire is pulled continuously through concrete or steel to create clean, controlled cuts. Compared to impact methods, the process minimizes stress to adjacent structures and excels at irregular shapes and thick sections that other saws can’t reach.
When Should Concrete Coring or Sawing Be Used?
- Openings and penetrations: doors, windows, louvers, plumbing, electrical, HVAC.
- Selective demolition and removal: controlled wire sawing of piers, beams, tanks, or thick walls.
- Trenching and slab work: flat/slab sawing for utility trenches, joints, and patch areas.
- Pre‑cut risk reduction: GPR concrete scanning to locate rebar, post‑tension cables, and conduits before cutting.
- Interior work: electric/hydraulic saws for fume‑free cutting in occupied spaces
Why Choose Americut for Diamond Wire Sawing
- Unlimited‑thickness capability: suited to extra‑thick, heavily reinforced concrete and awkward shapes.
- Precision and control: tensioned diamond wire provides accurate, smooth‑edged cuts with predictable results.
- Interior/sensitive environments: Electric/hydraulic options and wet-cut methods support fume-free cutting in occupied facilities.
- Plan‑scan‑cut workflow: optional GPR scanning lowers strike risk and change orders.
- Local crews, with fast mobilization capabilities: Cleveland, OH; Tampa (Largo), FL; Jacksonville, FL; and Fort Myers, FL.
Wire Sawing Capabilities, Unlimited Thickness, Irregular Shapes, and Heavy Rebar
- Materials: reinforced concrete, structural concrete with embedded steel.
- Cutting depth/shape: no practical limit on thickness; excels at curved or irregular lines and flush/reciprocal pulls using custom pulley setups.
- Typical applications: bridge/transportation structures, industrial foundations, tanks/silos, thick walls/columns, and selective demolition in plants and utilities.
Commercial, Industrial, and Municipal Wire Sawing
Contractors, DOTs/municipalities, airports, utilities, industrial facilities, healthcare, and education facilities utilize diamond wire sawing services for both renovation and new construction.

Diamond Wire Sawing FAQs for Contractors and Municipalities
How thick can you cut with wire sawing?
There’s no practical limit; Americut performs wire sawing at unlimited material thickness when access and rigging allow.
What makes wire sawing different from wall or slab sawing?
Wire sawing utilizes a looped diamond wire pulled through the concrete via pulleys and a hydraulic motor, allowing for deep cuts and complex shapes that exceed the limitations of circular blades.
Can wire sawing handle heavily reinforced concrete?
Yes. The method is well‑suited to heavily reinforced members and large sections where other saws are depth‑limited.
Is wire sawing precise?
Yes, a properly tensioned wire and pulley setup produces accurate, controllable cuts suitable for selective demolition.
Do you provide GPR scanning before cutting?
Yes, GPR concrete scanning can be added to locate rebar, PT tendons, and conduits prior to cutting.
Is wire sawing suitable for interior or occupied facilities?
Yes, Americut can utilize electric/hydraulic equipment and wet-cut methods for fume-free interior work, with containment as required.
What info do you need to quote wire sawing?
Member dimensions, reinforcement expectations, required geometry, access/rigging, power/water, slurry handling needs, debris removal scope, and schedule.
Do you handle debris removal and patch‑back?
On request, we coordinate debris removal and can work with your team/partners to implement a patch-back as specified.
Do you offer off‑hours or expedited mobilization?
Yes, night/weekend shifts, as well as accelerated scheduling, are available on a case-by-case basis.
