Concrete cutting, coring and grinding are not clean jobs by nature. They make dust, slurry, noise and offcuts.
Perfect Concrete Care's approach to sustainability is to control those four things on every job, in Sydney, Brisbane and wherever else we work.
Cut only what needs cutting
Most of the waste on a concrete job comes from taking out more than the drawing asks for. We scan first, mark out to the engineer's cut plan and cut to the line. A wall saw or wire saw takes a panel out in one piece, so the rest of the slab or wall stays as it was and nothing is over-broken. Coring makes a clean hole instead of a jackhammered one.
Less material removed means less material to cart away and less patching afterwards.
Need concrete cut, cored or ground in an occupied building?
Tell us what the floor above is doing and we will plan the dust, water and noise around it.
Dust and slurry stay on site, under control
Every grinder we run carries a dust extraction unit. Every saw and core rig is wet cut, and the slurry is collected with vacuum units, not washed into drains. Inside live buildings we screen the work area and use electric plant where we can, so the floors above and below can keep trading.
That is a safety measure and an environmental one at the same time.
Waste that can be recycled is recycled
Cut-out concrete goes to recyclers as clean aggregate, not to landfill as mixed waste. Steel reinforcement, worn diamond blades and spent core bits are separated for scrap. Slurry is dewatered and the solids go with the concrete.
Plant that suits the job
A remote controlled demolition robot inside a plant room, a walk-behind grinder on a floor, a floor saw on a road: matching the machine to the task uses less fuel and fewer trips than sending big plant to a small job. We plan crews and gear so one visit does the work, not three.
Getting better at it
Concrete Care works to the Perfect Group Integrated Management System, which covers quality, safety and environment, and we review site practice against it after jobs, not just at audit time.
Trained for it, in both states
Our people are trained in dust and slurry control as part of their induction, and the standard applies to every crew, in NSW and Queensland.
Talk to Concrete Care about your next cut
Occupied building, tight programme or a waste target to meet? Tell us at quote stage.
We cut, core, grind and scan concrete across Sydney, Brisbane and the East Coast for builders, asset owners and facility managers, and we plan the dust, water and noise around the people who have to keep working.
Concrete work planned around the building, not the other way round.
Call the Concrete Care team or send the drawings and we will come back with a method and a price.
