Diamond Wire Sawing for Thick and Reinforced Concrete
A circular blade has a finite cutting depth. As concrete gets thicker, the blade may not be able to cut completely through the section from one side. Diamond wire sawing works differently. A continuous loop of diamond-impregnated wire is routed around or through the concrete section and pulled under controlled tension. This allows the wire to cut sections that are beyond the practical cutting depth of conventional blade saws.
What Slab Cutting Means on a Real Site
Slab cutting is cutting through a concrete floor slab to make an opening or to remove part of it. The slab may sit on the ground. It may be a suspended slab with beams under it. Both need a different plan.
A concrete slab is not just concrete. It holds steel bars inside it, and that steel is what makes it strong. So we use diamond concrete cutting on every job. The blade cuts the concrete and the steel at the same time, and the cut edge comes out straight and clean, so your new frame, pipe or stair fits without patch work.
What We Cut
If the wire can be safely routed around the section, it can be an effective solution for very thick and heavily reinforced concrete.
Need the right cutting method for your project?
For a standard door opening or a smaller straight cut in a normal wall, wall sawing may be faster and more economical. We assess the site and recommend the cutting method that fits the actual job.

Slab Cutting Contractors in Abu Dhabi
Most slab cutting contractors in Abu Dhabi hire the machine and the man from someone else. We do not. Since 2013 we have run our own diamond cutting equipment with our own crews. That means one company is responsible for the cut, the safety file and the finish. If something needs fixing, you call us, not a chain of three subcontractors.
Who You Are Hiring
Before a structural cutting crew starts work, you need to know who is actually responsible for the equipment, operators and safety documentation.
Reinforced Concrete Slab Cutting and RCC Slabs
Most slabs in Abu Dhabi are RCC slabs. That means reinforced cement concrete — concrete with steel bars inside.
RCC slab cutting is harder than cutting plain concrete. The blade meets steel every few centimetres. That slows the cut and heats the blade. This is why we run water through the blade while it cuts. The water cools the diamond segments and keeps the concrete dust down at the same time.
Cutting a structural slab also changes how the floor carries weight. Before we cut a suspended slab, we ask for the structural engineer’s sign-off on the opening size and place. Where the opening needs temporary support, we install the propping before cutting and take it out once the engineer confirms it can come out.
We will not cut a structural slab opening without that sign-off. It protects your project and ours.
Engineer sign-off is required before cutting a suspended structural slab. Where necessary, temporary propping is installed before the cut.
Slab Thickness and Which Method We Use
Not every slab needs the same machine. This is the usual picture on Abu Dhabi sites:
Not sure how thick your slab is? Send a photo of an exposed edge or a stair void and we can usually tell.
Concrete Scanning Before We Cut
Inside a slab there can be live cables, water pipes, post-tension strands and heavy rebar. Cutting into any of these is expensive and dangerous. Our scanning shows what sits inside the slab so we can plan the cut around it.
If we find something we cannot cut through, we tell you before we start, not after. Sometimes the answer is to shift the opening by a few hundred millimetres. Sometimes the answer is a different method, like wire sawing or core cutting.
What People Use Slab Cutting For
Most of our slab cutting work in Abu Dhabi falls into these jobs:
MEP and Services
Slab cutting for plumbing lines. Slab cutting for electrical work and cable trays. Slab cutting for HVAC and duct installation. Cutting concrete floors for pipes going down to a lower level. Cutting slabs for utility installation on fit-out projects.
Drainage
Slab cutting for drainage runs and gully points. Ground floor slabs opened up, pipe laid, slab made good again.
Openings in the Structure
Floor opening cutting for new stairs. Slab cutting for lift installation and lift pit work. Hatch and riser openings. Door opening cutting and AC duct opening cutting in the walls nearby — see our wall sawing page.
Renovation and Demolition
Slab cutting for renovation where a floor level changes. Slab cutting for basement work. Slab modification where an old opening needs to grow. Floor removal and concrete removal in sections. For strip-out we cut the deck into pieces small enough to lift out, which is quieter and safer than breaking.
Dust, Water and Working in Live Buildings
Many of our jobs are in buildings still being used — offices, malls, hotels, villas with people living in them.
Concrete dust is the main complaint on those sites, so we use water-cooled cutting and most of the dust turns into slurry instead of going into the air.
We sheet off the work area, bring vacuums and slurry control, and clean the floor before we leave.
How a Slab Cutting Job Runs
From the first photo to final clean-up, we plan the job around your site conditions and the work that needs to follow.
What We Need From Your Site
Have these ready and the crew gets straight to work:
Water
A tap or supply near the cut. If there is not one, tell us and we bring our own.
Power
Most jobs run on a 220V socket. Bigger slabs need a 415V three phase supply. Tell us what is available and we will match the machine to it.
Slurry
Somewhere for the water to drain, or tell us and we contain it and take it away.
Access
A route for the machine to reach the slab. Lifts, stairs and tight corners change the plan.
Clearance
The area emptied of furniture, stock or plant before we arrive.
Approvals
The engineer’s sign-off on any opening in a suspended slab.
If something is missing, say so early. We would rather plan around it than have the crew stood down at the gate.
Six Steps From Start to Finish
You Send the Details
Location, slab thickness if you know it, opening size, and a photo. A photo saves everyone a site visit. Typical time to site: 24hr.
Site Visit and Risk Assessment
We look at access, power, water, and what sits above and below the slab. We write the risk assessment and method statement here.
Permits and Approvals
We help with the paperwork your main contractor or building owner needs.
Scanning and Marking
We scan the slab, mark the cut lines, and confirm them with you before the blade touches concrete.
Site Preparation and Cutting
We sheet off, set up water and dust control, and cut. Safety measures and PPE are standard, not extra.
Removal and Clean-Up
Cut sections are lifted out in a controlled way. We clear the debris and leave the area clean and ready for the next trade.
Areas We Cover in Abu Dhabi
We are based in Musaffah M09 and cover the whole emirate, with slab cutting crews available across Abu Dhabi.
If your site is outside these areas, call anyway. We cover jobs across the UAE.
What You Get When We Finish
We leave a clean, square opening with straight edges. No cracked corners, no spalled concrete around the cut, and no rebar left sticking out where someone can catch on it.
We do not do the making good or the new floor finish. That stays with your main contractor. We hand over a clean opening ready for them to work to.
Debris goes with us unless you tell us otherwise. The area is swept before we leave.
Clean, Square Opening
Straight edges and accurately cut corners ready for the next stage of work.
Controlled Cut
No unnecessary impact damage, cracked corners or spalled concrete around the opening.
Clean Work Area
Cut debris is removed and the work area is swept before we leave.
Ready for the Next Trade
We hand over a clean opening ready for your main contractor to continue the work.
What Slab Cutting Costs
We price each job on its own. There is no fixed rate per metre, because every site and every slab has different requirements.
Slab Thickness & Reinforcement
Slab thickness and how much steel is inside affect the cutting method and time required.
Total Cut Length
Pricing is based on the total length of cut, not just the size of the opening.
Access to the Slab
A basement with restricted access can require more planning than a straightforward ground-floor job.
Day or Night Work
Working hours can affect the crew, access and overall requirements of the job.
Water Access
If suitable water is not available on site, we can bring our own supply and equipment.
Removal & Disposal
Whether cut sections need to be removed and taken away also affects the final scope.
Send Us the Job Details
Send us the opening size, the slab thickness and a photo. We will review the requirements and provide a clear quote based on the actual work involved.
How Soon Can We Start?
Once the price is agreed and the permits are clear, most slab cutting jobs in Abu Dhabi start within 24hr. Small residential slab cutting jobs are usually quicker than commercial ones, because the paperwork is lighter.
We also take urgent call-outs when a site is held up and a trade cannot move until the opening is cut.
