Top Concrete Cutting related questions
It depends on the size of the concrete you want to cut. Generally, the concrete cutting process for doorways and windows can take at least three to four hours, while bigger ones can take at least a day or two. Walk your Tasker through your specific concrete cutting needs so they can determine the amount of time required to finish the job.
No, you don’t. Taskers carry their own cutting equipment, including block saws, power cutters, cut-off saws, concrete rigs, and cutting wheels, to help them get the job done quickly and efficiently. But if you happen to have these tools on hand and prefer to use them, you may do so. Inform your Tasker about this arrangement beforehand.
Generally, you should wait for around six to 18 hours and never beyond 24 hours after a pour before cutting concrete. Cutting it too soon can lead to dislodging or ravelling aggregate particles, and cutting it too late can make the concrete more susceptible to cracking. The amount of time needed between pouring and cutting also depends on the weather conditions. Again, it’s best to consult this with your Tasker.Â
Concrete cutting can generate substantial dust clouds that can weaken the site’s visibility and lead to harmful effects on workers’ health. To minimise these clouds, water is used to cool and lubricate the saw blades, prevents them from overheating and helps create a dustless concrete cutting. This way, work is done more seamlessly, less time is spent cleaning up after and the workers’ health is not compromised.Â
Concrete cutting is not noisy at all! It also generates little to no vibration. But like other jobs and services in the construction industry, it can cause a certain amount of disruption. So be sure to have the schedule arranged with your Tasker so they can come into your property and do the job when there are little to no people around. This way, your daily activities will not be affected.
It’s generally not recommended for you to cut concrete yourself. The tools needed for the concrete cutting process can be dangerous to operate and can lead to severe injuries if mishandled. It’s best to let concrete cutting specialists do the job to ensure your safety and the quality of the results. It can also save you time and overall costs.
Concreting Services
What do concrete cutting services include?
Concrete cutting services involve removing unwanted or unnecessary concrete without having to break the entire concrete slab. It also includes coring the concrete to create access points in the middle of a grind or slab of concrete, resulting in a smooth finish. Concrete cutting is an excellent alternative to demolition, which pulls or knocks down entire building structures. Here are a few things concrete cutting companies in your area can help you with:
Block cutting
When a whole concrete block cannot fit into places you want them to fit, concrete block cutting services can help you cut them into the appropriate size. This usually happens when you have a block paving service done, and the blocks don’t just seem to fit. Your Tasker can take care of cutting these blocks using tools like a hammer and chisel, power saws, and block splitters, so you can be sure that they can be as smooth or as rough as you want the cut to be.
Core drilling
Core drilling allows you to make perfectly round holes through a surface. This concrete hole cutting service will enable you to extract a sample from the concrete that conforms to the hollow walls of the drill. If you want holes in your property to connect a wire from one room to another, make room for rounded appliances, or if you have other needs that require properly drilled holes, core drilling is an excellent choice.
Flat sawing
Flat sawing involves cutting floors, expansion joints, bridge decks, pavement, and other horizontal concrete surfaces. This is perfect when you want to install trenches for electric, plumbing, and data lines. It’s also a smart choice if you would like to remove large sections of your property’s flooring or your entire patio, basement floor, or driveway.
Â
However, if you want to reinstall your driveway, you can always hire a Tasker to install a concrete driveway anytime. Be sure to have your driveway regularly cleaned as well to help with its maintenance!
Wall sawing
When you need someone to install an HVAC opening, a new doorway, or a window, be sure to have your concrete wall cut first! Wall sawing can accurately cut your vertical concrete surfaces, leaving them with a smooth finish. Wall sawing can also come in handy if you want to have access ways for elevators and staircases. It can also provide you with flow detectors on dams, tanks and other structures and crossovers for mechanical services and cabling.
Curb cutting
Concrete curb cutting allows you to make a break in a curb, providing easy access for everyone using the sidewalk. Using specialised machines, the cut should be at a precise angle along the curb. This creates ramps, driveway approaches, and a sloping incline, leaving a smooth, finished look.
Curb cutting is essential because it aids accessibility and convenience, especially for strollers, skateboards, dollies, and wheelchairs. It also helps cars to reach driveways and parking lots easily.
