Our Slab Sawing Process
DCCS follows a structured process to ensure each cut is completed accurately, safely, and in line with project requirements.
The process typically includes:
-
Marking and planning
We confirm the required cutting lines, assess the slab thickness, review access conditions, and plan the most suitable cutting method. -
Machine setup
The correct floor saw, blade type, and cutting depth are selected based on the concrete surface, reinforcement, and site requirements. -
Precision cutting
Using walk-behind floor saws and diamond blades, we complete straight, controlled cuts through the concrete surface. -
Controlled debris removal
Once cutting is complete, concrete sections can be removed or prepared for the next stage of construction, repair, or demolition. -
Site clean-up
Where required, the work area is cleared and left safe for following trades or continued site activity.
