Protect the concrete that needs to remain
Boundaries cut cleanly
Defined lines reduce unwanted breakout into the surrounding slab.
Rebar included in planning
We account for reinforcement when choosing blades and estimating the sequence.
Lift size considered
Cut sections are planned around weight, support and available handling access.
Alter the slab without rough over-breaking
Service trenches, edge changes and defined removal areas need a clear boundary. We cut existing concrete slabs for planned alterations, penetrations and sections that must be lifted out. Unlike general break-out, precise concrete slab cutting focuses on preserving the floor outside the marked area. We establish the intended lines, slab depth and support conditions before selecting the blade and sequence. Known services beneath the floor must also be checked. The result is a controlled cut ready for the next stage, not a ragged edge that expands every time loose concrete is removed.
Reinforcement and section weight shape the plan
Rebar affects blade selection, cutting time and the way each separated piece behaves. We therefore ask for structural information where available and account for reinforced concrete when preparing the job. The intended lifting method also determines section size. A crane, lifting device or manual handling plan will each place different limits on what can be released safely. By coordinating the cut layout with support and removal access, we keep the sequence practical from the first line to the final lifted section.
Frequently asked questions
Can you cut through a reinforced concrete slab?
Yes. We cut reinforced slabs, but rebar influences blade choice, time and section handling. Send structural details where available, along with slab depth and the marked layout, so we can prepare the correct method.
How do you avoid damaging the remaining floor?
We work to defined cut lines and a planned depth rather than relying on uncontrolled break-out. The slab condition, reinforcement and support still matter, so we assess these before confirming the cutting sequence.
How large should each cut slab section be?
Section size depends on thickness, reinforcement, weight and the lifting equipment available. We coordinate the layout with the handling route before cutting. There is no safe standard size that fits every slab or site.
