§ 03 — Scope of Work

Six methods.
One cold-weather playbook.

We cut concrete that other crews won't touch in January. Every method on this list is documented to ACI 306R cold-weather concreting standards, GPR-pre-scanned, and dispatched within ninety minutes of the call across the Anchorage bowl.

S-01

Wall Sawing

Diamond blade · up to 24 in depth

Track-mounted hydraulic wall saws for vertical and inclined cuts. Door, window, and HVAC openings cut clean in cured concrete and CMU.

S-02

Slab Sawing

Walk-behind · expansion joints + demo

Self-propelled slab saws cut sidewalks, driveways, parking decks, and runways. Expansion joints, control joints, and full-depth removal cuts.

S-03

Core Drilling

1 in → 30 in dia · GPR-scanned

Vacuum-anchored core rigs for utility penetrations, HVAC, plumbing, and structural samples. Every core scanned with ground-penetrating radar first.

S-04

Controlled Demolition

OSHA 1926 Subpart Q

Bridge decks, foundations, structural slabs cut into managed sections and lifted clear. Engineered sequencing, dust-controlled, off-hour scheduling.

S-05

GPR & Scanning

Pre-cut concrete imaging

Ground-penetrating radar locates rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, and voids before the blade touches concrete. Mark-out + report on every job.

S-06

Curb & Asphalt Cutting

Cold-weather diesel · −20 °F start

Curb cuts, ADA ramps, asphalt patches. Cold-weather diesel saw fleet warmed and started reliably for Anchorage winter pours.

§ 04 — Field Record

Plates from
the season.

A sample of recent Anchorage-bowl cuts, cored, and demolitions. Every plate is a real method on a real slab. Temperatures recorded on site, blade specs documented for ACI 306R closeout.

§ 05 — Voices on File

Word of mouth.
Not yet the internet.

We've been cutting concrete in Anchorage longer than we've been collecting Google reviews. There are zero published testimonials on this page because we won't invent them. What we will share, on request: a working reference list of recent general contractors and homeowners who have hired us this season.

References Available on Request

Call us, and we'll send you the names and numbers of clients you can ask.

A short list of commercial general contractors and Anchorage homeowners who can speak to recent cuts, cores, and demolitions — sent by email within one business hour. No invented reviews. Real numbers, real people.

Standards on the Truck

Concrete shall not be placed on a frozen subgrade, against frozen forms, or on ice or snow.


ACI 306R-16 · § 6.2.1American Concrete Institute · Cold-Weather Concreting

All operators shall conduct a survey for embedded utilities, post-tension cables, and reinforcement prior to any cutting or coring operation.

§ 06 — Standing on the Ledger

What you
can verify.

Four claims. All defensible. All available on paper before we roll a truck. License status, certificate of insurance, OSHA site-safety plan, and a sample subgrade report — sent by email on request.

Alaska contractor license maintained in good standing. Full liability and workers' comp on every crew, every job. Certificate of insurance provided before site arrival on request.

Verified · On File

ACI 306R Documented

Every cold-weather pour and cut is documented to American Concrete Institute 306R standards: subgrade temp, ambient conditions, blade rating, water-line glycol status — all recorded for project closeout.

Verified · On File

OSHA 1926 Subpart Q

All controlled-demolition and structural-cut work runs under OSHA Concrete & Masonry Construction standards. Engineered sequencing, dust controls, fall protection, and exclusion zones on every site.

Verified · On File

GPR Pre-Scan, Every Cut

Ground-penetrating radar locates rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, and voids before the diamond blade touches concrete. Mark-out and a one-page subgrade report on every job, every time.

§ 07 — Freeze-Risk Map

Where the
truck rolls.

Anchorage bowl, the JBER corridor, Eagle River, Chugiak, and Mat-Su on quote. Dispatch within ninety minutes inside the bowl. Cold-zone gradient below tracks recorded winter lows by neighborhood — the darker the zone, the colder the job, the more cold-weather discipline required.
