Project Overview

Cutting reinforced concrete

Project Methodology

After undertaking a full risk assessment and sharing a methodology plan with the customer, Company opted for a combination of concrete diamond cutting and drilling to create numerous core drilling of 100x180 and 150x180 sections that could be lifted free.

Critical to the success of the operation was ensuring the rigorous application of Health & Safety procedures to safeguard the well-being of Company operatives within a carefully controlled working area.

Company replicated the working process for each of the 16m x 5m openings in the 200mm thick cast reinforced concrete slabs. First holes were diamond drilled along the lengths of the slabs to fix straps that would hold the concrete sections as they were being cut. Once cut, each section was lifted clear until each opening was complete.

Key Performance Criteria

This was a project with Health & Safety at its heart. In line with the Company methodology statement and Risk Assessment, the work area was segregated with barriers both on and below the level being cut.

All operatives and machinery were secured using harnesses and restraints to ensure optimum site safety.

Outcomes

The work was completed on time and the finish provided by the diamond saw meant that the openings were ready to receive the new steel frames and ramps without any need to make good.

Company was subsequently awarded additional work by the client.
