Concrete Chainsaw

A diamond-chain saw can help form small openings and finish corners where a circular blade would need to cut beyond the marked boundary. The chain runs around a guide bar, allowing a different cut shape from a round blade. The opening size, concrete thickness and available access determine whether it suits the job.

Sirius provides concrete chainsaw cutting across Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Describe the opening you need and what it is for, so the team can assess the work before choosing equipment.

Concrete chainsaws are used for corner finishing and narrow openings where overcutting must be avoided. This can matter when a door, window or service opening needs a defined boundary. A chainsaw may complement a wall-sawing method rather than replace it for the whole opening.

Send a marked drawing showing the finished dimensions and any limits on cutting beyond the corners. Tell the team whether the cut faces will remain visible.

Confirm what is behind the concrete and whether the section is structural before work is arranged. Give the team any available service plans, structural drawings and information about reinforcement. If concealed services need investigation, discuss concrete scanning before the cutting method is agreed.

An opening also creates a piece of concrete that needs support, handling and removal. Discuss access on both sides, the space below the opening and who will remove the cut section. Cutting does not itself provide structural approval.

• Location and access: suburb, floor level, stairs, parking and any restricted working hours.
• Opening: width, height, concrete thickness if known, and whether both sides are accessible.
• Site information: marked photos, drawings, known reinforcement and service information.
• Preparation: water access, nearby finishes, drainage and arrangements for slurry containment and cleanup.
• Removal: how the cut section will be supported, moved and taken away.

If a dimension or construction detail is unknown, say so in the enquiry. Photos can help start the discussion; they cannot confirm hidden services or the full concrete thickness.

Use the quote form below with your suburb, opening dimensions and site details. Explain whether you need corner finishing, a new opening or a change to an existing opening. Sirius can discuss the proposed cutting method and what preparation is needed.

For round pipe penetrations, ask whether core drilling would be more suitable. You can also use the contact page to discuss the scope.
