Expansion Cutting

Expansion cutting is required for newly laid slabs, driveways, and other concrete structures. 

Expansion cutting

  • A “controlled crack” to counter the concrete’s natural expansion
  • Prevents unsightly cracks as the concrete “moves” and flexes along these pre-cut lines
  • Provides an ascetic enhancement.

For an even artier finish, Sharp Concrete Cutters and Drillers provide a decorative cutting service.

Six Technicians on One Job

Six of our Concrete Cutting and Drilling Technicians worked together today on one job site. This is a rare occurrence as most of the jobs are spread across the city in any given day.

The sound of six petrol powered hand saws running simultaneously was a thing of symphonic beauty.  This could only be achieved because our crew is big enough to handle the big jobs and yet small enough to do the best job every time.

This work was carried out for Federal Group at Station Road in Onehunga.
