Precision Asphalt Cutting and Removal for Commercial Repair Projects

Triangle Paving Co, Inc. provides professional saw cut and removal services for commercial properties throughout Albuquerque, NM, delivering the clean, accurate edges that lasting asphalt repairs depend on. Whether you need a section cut out for utility work, a precise perimeter established for patching, or damaged pavement removed for reconstruction, our saw cut and removal service creates the straight, square edges that new asphalt bonds to properly.

Cutting and removing asphalt correctly is harder than it looks. The cut has to be truly square, the depth has to match the repair spec, and the removal has to leave stable material behind. Done right, saw cut and removal sets the repair up for success. Done wrong, it guarantees the patch or repair will fail at the edges. Triangle Paving has been doing this work across central New Mexico since 1978, and we treat it as the foundation of every quality repair we perform.

What Saw Cut and Removal Involves

Saw cut and removal is the preparation phase of asphalt repair. A concrete saw with a diamond blade is used to make clean vertical cuts defining the area to be removed, then the isolated section is excavated using appropriate equipment. The result is a clean, squared-off void ready for base correction and new asphalt placement.

Applications for Commercial Saw Cut and Removal

Frequently Asked Questions

Is saw cut and removal a standalone service or part of a larger project?

It’s typically part of a larger repair, utility, or construction project, but we can handle standalone removal when a general contractor or utility company needs preparation work completed.

How deep can you cut asphalt?

Our saws can cut through full-depth asphalt and into base material as required by the project specification. Cut depth is established during project planning.

Is the process noisy or disruptive?

Saw cutting produces noise and some dust during operation. We schedule work around business hours when possible and use water to control dust.

What happens to the removed asphalt?

Removed asphalt is transported to recycling facilities where it’s processed into reclaimed asphalt pavement for use in new asphalt mixes and base construction.

Can you coordinate with our utility contractor or general contractor?

Yes. We regularly coordinate with utility contractors, general contractors, and in-house facility teams to handle cutting and removal as part of larger projects.
