We carried out specialist hand sawing works to form a 1 m × 1 m access opening through a 160 mm thick reinforced concrete slab at a site in Chatham. The concrete section was carefully lifted out using an A-frame and a 3-tonne block and tackle. The opening was required to provide access to machinery located below the slab, and the works were completed safely and efficiently with full control throughout the lifting operation.
We are currently carrying out specialist concrete cutting works at Olympia for a new restaurant fit-out. The scope involved cutting an existing concrete staircase in half through 350 mm thick concrete at a 45-degree angle. The works required a high level of precision to ensure a clean, accurate cut while maintaining structural integrity for the client’s requirements.
We completed the drilling of 500 × 50 mm diameter holes through 1.2 m thick brickwork to facilitate the installation of a new crash barrier in Croydon. All works were carried out during night shifts and successfully completed in under four nights, ensuring minimal disruption while maintaining accuracy and efficiency.
We completed an emergency stitch drilling project in Derby for a groundworks contractor. Following an urgent call-out, we were on site the next day. The works involved 5.1 metres of stitch drilling through 550 mm deep reinforced concrete, all successfully completed within a single day.
We completed specialist track sawing works for Kelf Civil Engineering on Brighton Road, London, to allow for the installation of structural steelwork within existing walls. Due to site constraints, all works were carried out during night hours. All operatives were IPAF trained and certified to safely operate scissor lifts when working at height, ensuring full compliance with health and safety requirements.
In Chatham, a specialised project was completed to create a 1m x 1m access opening in a 160mm reinforced concrete (R/C) slab. The work was performed using a hand sawing method. To safely remove the cut concrete section, a 3-ton block and tackle system, mounted on an A-frame, was utilised. This precise operation was necessary to provide essential access to machinery situated on the floor below.
Our red Hilti track saw machine in action, cutting a set of concrete stairs in a building in Olympia for a new restaurant. The machine is positioned on a metal track that is secured to the stairs, guiding the cutting blade precisely. The cut is being made at a 45-degree angle through a 350mm thick concrete slab, effectively cutting the stairs in half for a client.
At Gatwick Airport, we drilled two holes of 52mm through R/C wall for the new high voltage room they’re installing. This job had to be no dust so we used the Hilti Recycling Vac.
Working for Colemans Construction, we drilled a 350 diametre core in a water treatment works in Gravesend. This allow Thames Water to attach new waste management system to the existing sewers.
