Whether you’re handling new construction or rehabilitating and existing structure, the need for concrete cutting will arise from time-to-time. Renting a commercial cutter and a diamond edge blade may seem like a quick fix, but you are far better off subcontracting work out.

First of all, if you hand one of your laborers a saw and a dust mask, you may be looking for new help the following day. Concrete cutting can be tough physical work, and not knowing the tricks of the trade will only make it more difficult and messy. As many contractors know from working with real people, some are just built for certain types of jobs. Successful plasterers, carpenters, masons, and others have a natural aptitude for their type of skilled labor. Concrete cutters are a special breed as well.

So, if you were mulling over the idea of turning concrete cutting into a DIY project for your crew, everyone will be better off if you sub-contract the job out to experienced concrete professionals such as Cobra Concrete Cutting Services Co.

Safety Training

As an employer, it’s important to ensure the highest possible level of employee safety. Think about the powerful cutting abilities of the tools needed to slice through concrete. Putting excessive power into the hands of an inexperienced worker would not be wise. For that reason, the professionals at Cobra Concrete are all OSHA certified, undergo yearly orientations, and attend monthly safety meetings. They also trained in job hazard analysis. These precautionary measures, coupled with on-the-job experience, greatly reduce the risk of serious injury.

Concrete Cutting Services

Like many sectors of the construction industry, concrete workers can perform a variety of tasks that keep projects on track. These include:

  • Slab Sawing: This may be what concrete cutting companies are most remembered for. Large slab saws can hit depths of 32 inches, using machines with power as high as 110 horsepower. Depending on what the work environment calls for, gas diesel or electric machines can be deployed.
  • Wall Sawing: Whether the concrete pour left out a space for HVAC ducts or your rehab project needs a doorway cut, wall saws can create precision openings at depths of 36 inches in material ranging from reinforced concrete to red brick to cinderblock.
  • Grinding and Grooving: Sometimes materials just need to be shaved back or have rumble strips hewn into them and concrete professionals have these niche machines ready to go.

At Cobra Concrete, our trained concrete cutting crew has earned awards and ranked among the safest companies for work in the Chicago-land area. We also provide wire cutting, core drilling, and chain sawing services among others. At the end of the day, our team gets the job done, and reduces the risk of hidden costs or injury for your concrete cutting project. Contact us today.
