When you need a Chicago concrete contractor to handle projects involving sawing and drilling of concrete, breaking, excavation, patching, or projects that require the use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), you need to look at a number of factors.

It’s important to bring the right equipment, the right experience, and the right attitude to every project you work on. Cobra Concrete Cutting Services does all three.

As Chicago’s leading concrete and drilling subcontractor, Cobra will bring the right equipment for the job. Whether it’s wall sawing, the use of various grinders and groovers, remote control demolition robots, or GPR, Cobra can handle it. Fancier or newer equipment isn’t always what’s needed to get the job done, but it’s important for contractors and subcontractors to be aware of the latest innovations and techniques. If your project could benefit from relatively new technology that’s available, wouldn’t you want to know about it? That’s one element that separates a leader from a merely good contractor.

Having the latest equipment doesn’t help if operators don’t understand how to use it to best advantage. Ongoing training is necessary to help all workers stay apprised of the best ways to use specific equipment. Selecting cutting blades and diamond core drill bits is a combination of knowing the attributes of the various equipment, having experience in similar situations, and analyzing the conditions at the work site. Our ongoing training includes hands on training and online courses, and covers developments in the industry as well as equipment-specific training. We also use outside consultants and manufacturers for equipment training.

Another area where ongoing training and monitoring is extremely important is workplace safety. Cobra has an outstanding safety record which we maintain with an intensive safety program. All of our current field personnel and management , as well as new hires, are certified with a OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety and Health Card. There are monthly safety team meetings conducted with Cobra management, training on job hazard analysis, and site safety inspections conducted by Cobra management as well as outside consultants. Our emphasis on safety has earned us the Annual Safety Award from American Sub-Contractors and Affiliates.

The final piece in the puzzle when it comes to selecting a concrete contractor that goes above and beyond is their overall attitude and enthusiasm for the job as well as the community. Our awards and certifications speak for themselves in terms of our commitment to provide the highest level of service and passion. When people care and are enthusiastic about the work they do, it makes even the most challenging projects proceed more smoothly.

Another aspect of our passion is giving back to the community and taking actions that benefit all of us. We have been able to use our success in the concrete business to donate our time, support, and services to organizations that include Little Angels, The Muscular Dystrophy Association, The Leukemia Research Foundation, Bountiful Health Farms, JDRF, and the American Lung Association. Some people might not think that matters when selecting a concrete contractor, but it’s one more thing that helps set us apart.
