Wall Saw — Door Opening
Track wall saw cut complete for a walkout basement door opening in a concrete foundation.
Wall Sawing in Ontario
Need clean openings for doors, windows, or ventilation shafts in concrete walls? We use track-mounted saws to cut straight, smooth vertical openings.
Wall sawing is the fastest way to create precise openings in thick concrete walls. Our track-mounted diamond wall saws cut doors, windows, mechanical shafts, and stair openings with straight edges ready for frames. We cut single wythe and multi-wythe walls, including mat foundations and shear walls, following engineer-stamped layouts. Water-fed blades reduce dust and control slurry. We coordinate with shoring and structural engineers on sequencing cuts. Common projects: retail storefront openings, hospital additions, industrial mezzanines, and residential basement egress windows. If you need wall sawing in Ontario with a crew that respects your safety plan, call Ontime.
Professional Standards & Work Site Prep
At Ontime Concrete Cutting, we adhere to strict quality controls to ensure every precision cut is completed safely, cleanly, and on schedule. To prepare your job site for our crew, please confirm the following requirements:
- Utility Clearances: All target cutting areas must be pre-scanned (via GPR utility locating) to verify that no live electrical conduits, post-tension cables, or water lines are embedded.
- Water & Power Access: Concrete cutting requires a continuous water feed for dust suppression. Please ensure a water connection is within 100 feet of the cutting path.
- Safety Signage: Clear the immediate workspace of unauthorized personnel. We establish barricades and ventilation to manage dust control and slurry extraction.
