Spanish term or phrase: sierra caminante
Cuando se realice el trabajo de rotura del pavimento el Contratista de la obra deberá utilizar tecnologías modernas, tales como la sierra caminante, equipada con discos diamantados, que secciona al pavimento en trozos precisos. Este tipo de tecnologías no sólo disminuye el tiempo empleado en la excavación de la zanja en los tramos pavimentados, sino que también disminuye los ruidos nocivos y molestos, disminuye la generación de escombros y de polvo ambiental.

agree  Russell Gillis: Concrete saw is correct, but it should be "walk behind concrete saw". I used to work with a company that used these. Note: I think self-propelled is valid, but definitely not walking.

  -> Thanks. Actually, they are all the same thing: "Walk behind", "walking", "self-propelled". I just happen to like "self-propelled" best
