Track-mounted wall sawing for window openings, door openings, and large penetrations through poured concrete and masonry foundation walls. Precise, controlled, and set-price quoted.
Wall sawing uses a track-mounted circular saw to cut vertical and horizontal lines through concrete walls — creating clean rectangular or custom-shaped openings.
Where flat sawing handles horizontal slabs, wall sawing handles vertical surfaces. The saw runs on a track bolted to the wall, allowing precise, guided cuts at any height without hand-held vibration or drift.
We cut through poured concrete foundations, concrete block (CMU), insulated concrete form (ICF) walls, and reinforced concrete. Whether you're adding an egress window, widening a door opening, or creating a large utility access point, wall sawing gives you the cleanest possible opening edge.
The track system means cuts are straight and square to spec. That matters enormously for window installations, door framing, and any structural lintel work that follows. Ragged, hammer-broken edges create problems for everyone downstream — our cuts don't.
We work regularly with general contractors, renovation companies, and homeowners on basement development projects across Calgary. If you need an opening cut into a concrete wall, this is how it's done properly.
Any time you need a clean, structural opening cut in a concrete or masonry wall.
Cutting new window openings in foundation walls — sized to the window frame with clean, square edges ready for a lintel, framing, and installation. Residential, multi-family, and commercial.
New exterior doors cut into concrete basement or grade-level walls. Walk-out basement entries, utility room doors, and secondary exits — cut to your rough opening dimensions.
Rectangular or custom openings for large HVAC equipment, ductwork, or mechanical access that are too large for core drilling and require a precisely shaped opening.
Drainage openings, pipe passages, and access points in retaining walls — residential and commercial — without compromising the structural integrity of the wall system.
Insulated Concrete Form walls require a specific approach — our track saw handles ICF construction cleanly without cracking the foam insulation or compromising the concrete core.
Widening existing openings, repositioning windows, or removing concrete walls during basement renovation and suite development projects across Calgary.
From quote to cleared opening — what to expect when you hire us.
We confirm opening dimensions, wall thickness, and locate all utilities before starting. No cuts are made without a cleared utility locate.
The wall saw track is anchored to the wall surface at the exact cut line. This is what gives wall sawing its precision advantage over hand cutting.
All four sides of the opening are cut to depth — typically two passes for thick walls to ensure a clean cut through the full thickness.
Corner plunge cores are sometimes required to allow the saw to complete interior corners. We handle this as part of the same job.
The cut section is removed, edges are cleaned up, and the site is left ready for your framer, window installer, or lintel crew to begin.
Our track saws cut through walls up to 24 inches thick. Most residential poured concrete foundations are 8–10 inches, well within our single-pass capability. Thicker commercial walls may require multiple passes.
No. Track-mounted wall sawing produces no vibration beyond the immediate cut zone. Controlled diamond cutting does not crack or stress the surrounding concrete. It's far safer than jack-hammering.
For most standard window and door openings in residential foundations, an engineer is not required by us. However, your building permit may require engineering drawings — check with the City of Calgary before applying.
Wall sawing excels at straight, rectangular cuts. For arched or curved openings, we use a combination of wall sawing and coring to achieve the required shape. Let us know your spec and we'll advise.
