Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions.

What is concrete cutting, and why is it needed?

Concrete cutting is a process of creating precise openings, joints, or separations in concrete structures using specialised saws or drills.

It’s essential for renovation, repair, or new construction projects where accurate cuts are required for doors, windows, plumbing, or electrical lines without damaging surrounding structures.

How is core drilling different from concrete cutting?

Core drilling creates perfectly round holes through concrete, asphalt, or masonry for pipes, cables, and HVAC installations.

Concrete cutting, on the other hand, involves straight cuts and openings using saws.

Both are complementary processes used in structural modification and utility access work.

How do you minimise dust, noise and vibration during concrete cutting and drilling?

Yes, most modern concrete cutting and drilling services use wet cutting techniques to minimise dust, and high-precision equipment that significantly reduces noise and vibration.

This makes it ideal for use in sensitive environments like hospitals, offices, and residential areas.

What types of equipment are used for concrete cutting and drilling?

Professionals use diamond-tipped saws, core drills, ring saws, wire saws, and wall saws depending on the material thickness and project requirements. Diamond tools offer clean, efficient, and accurate results even in reinforced concrete.

How deep can you cut or drill into concrete?

Cutting and drilling depth depends on the type of equipment used.

Generally, wall saws can cut up to 600mm, and core drills can create holes up to several meters deep if required.

Each project is assessed individually to ensure safe and precise results.

Is professional concrete cutting and drilling safe?

Yes when performed by trained experts using certified tools, it’s a controlled and safe process.

Professionals follow safety standards, including PPE, dust suppression, and secure work zones, to protect both workers and the property.
