This new retail area will do well in serving the growing needs of the Takanini and Addison areas as leases have been issued to major food chains and a service station.
Sharp Concrete Cutters and Drillers provided concrete cutting and drilling services to this project as an extension of its business relationship with Watts and Hughes Construction.

“The former DYC Vinegar site on Crummer Road, Pollen Street, and Williamson Avenue in Auckland is something entirely different for Countdown” says Adrian Walker, Countdown General Manager (Property).
Ebert Construction is the main contractor on the $95 million Cider Building project which will be home to 14,000 sqm of Countdown supermarket and speciality retail and office space.
Countdown Managing Director, Dave Chambers, says that Countdown Ponsonby is an exciting store for the business, as their most premium and unique store yet.
The new supermarket has created 100 new jobs and was officially opened by the Honorable Nikki Kay who says the new store is a welcome addition to the area.

Many customers, wanting a slightly different look, opt for an exposed aggregate finish. This process removes the top layer of fine concrete, thus exposing the underlying aggregate.
While there are a number of ways this can be achieved, the most common, and most efficient is simply water blasting off the top layer.
Sharp Concrete Cutters and Drillers are regularly called in by concrete placing contractors (as well as our other main contractors) to expose the aggregate. To do this, we send out our slurry control truck which is fitted with a high power water blaster.
But the question remains – what happens to that fine layer of concrete that is removed? That top layer contains slurry and is highly toxic. Our slurry control truck is engaged to collect the runoff and thus eliminating the potential environmental hazard.

Concrete cutting and drilling produces slurry.
Slurry contains calcium carbonate, is a base with a high ph level, is detrimental to marine flora and fauna, and so it is illegal to dump it into sewers, storm water systems, or natural waterways. As such it is important that slurry control is put in place.
With its dedicated slurry truck, Sharp Concrete Cutters and Drillers Ltd can remove 2500 litres of slurry. The truck also holds 1000 litres of water and has a high-pressure water blasting unit. Our truck has also been used in aggregate exposing and acid washing applications.
We also have a number of 600-litre slurry tanks and are committed to leaving every job clean and tidy.
With Auckland’s ever increasing infrastructure demands, service access is something that’s often needed after the fact. Man hole covers are a prime example of this kind of aftermarket demand.
See below for an example of how Sharp Concrete Cutters and Drillers core drilling service can be applied to Auckland’s ever increasing infrastructure demand.
The possible applications for a concrete cutting wire saw are endless.
How deep can a wire saw cut? How long is a piece of string (or in this case, diamond-laden wire)?
Straight, curved, flush with adjacent walls.
Examples of applications include:
Removing column bases
Cuts to bridges
Staircase removal
