Project information
Use these guides to plan better site questions
The Sirius Concrete Cutters guides explain common services and the details that can affect a job. Concrete cutting is not one single method. Floor sawing, wall sawing, wire sawing, core drilling, grinding and controlled demolition suit different structures and access conditions.
Before choosing a method, identify the result the project needs. Note the material, thickness, dimensions and the location of the work. Confirm whether drawings, scanning or engineering instructions are available. Access, water control, dust, noise and waste handling can also affect the work plan.
Read with the real site in mind
- Match the guide to the structure and the required opening or finish.
- Record dimensions instead of relying on a general description.
- Mark known services and restricted work zones.
- Check access for people, tools and removal of cut material.
- List the site hours and other trades working nearby.
A guide is a starting point, not a site-specific method statement. Use it to prepare clear questions and a better brief. The Sirius team can then review the real conditions and discuss the suitable next step.
When several services could apply, compare them by outcome. Ask what must remain in place, what material must be removed and how the finished area will be used. Check who is responsible for locating services, approving dimensions and confirming structural requirements. A short written brief gives the site team, project manager and concrete cutter the same starting point. It also makes changes easier to identify before work begins.
