Why Us

Why usThe Aggregate Advantage in Concrete Cutting

Knowledgeable contractors recommend and use diamond cutting systems because they can provide significant cost advantages over conventional concrete removal methods. These advantages vary depending on the project.

Aggregate Technologies Cutting System vs. Conventional Concrete Removal Systems -

AGGREGATE TECHNOLOGIES
CUTTING SYSTEMS		 CONVENTIONAL CONCRETE
REMOVAL SYSTEMS
   
TIME
  • Fast
  • Fewer operators
  • Pre-outage work possible
  • Cuts rebar and other metals
  • Slow, methodical
  • Labor-intensive
  • Pre-outage work not possible
  • Metal cutting required
DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCE
  • Precise cuts
  • Limited patchwork required
  • Uncontrolled openings
  • Extensive patchwork required
STRUCTURED INTEGRITY
  • Vibration Free
  • Ability to remove large amounts of concrete while maintaining structural integrity
  • High impact vibration causes microfractures of concrete
  • Potential damage to remaining structures or nearby equipment
NOISE, DUST, DEBRIS
  • Non-disruptive to surrounding operations
  • Relatively quiet
  • Pieces cut to size
  • Dust free
  • Large bulk removal capability
  • Disruptive
  • Loud
  • Creates rubble
  • Extremely dusty
  • Time-consuming clean-up
LIMITED ACCESS
  • Remote operations possible
  • Cuts in close spaces
  • Underwater operations possible
  • Easily cuts around existing pipes, electrical fixtures and equipment
  • Inflexible equipment
  • Restricted movement
  • Underwater operations difficult or impossible
  • Difficult to work around piping and existing equipment
