Core Cutting Services

Core Cutting Service

Provided by Onyx Engineering — ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 Certified Building Demolition Contractors Since 2009

Overview

Core Cutting is a precision cutting service used to fragment structural elements with minimal vibration, noise, and dust. Ideal for interior demolition, selective decommissioning, and projects requiring tight control over load paths and site disruption. Our approach blends advanced cutting technologies, rigorous safety protocols, and meticulous planning to deliver clean cuts, fast debris removal, and safer work zones.

Key Methods

• Diamond wire cutting and chain cutting for reinforced concrete and steel cores
• Ring cutting, wall sawing, and floor sawing with dust containment
• Slab and wall splitting with vibration control to protect surrounding structures
• Hydraulically powered, low-vibration cutting equipment
• Enclosures and negative-pressure containment to manage dust

Client Benefits

• Precise cuts with minimal disturbance to adjacent structures
• Reduced vibration and dust, improving site safety and neighbor relations
• Faster, cleaner dismantling and debris removal
• Flexible scheduling to accommodate occupancy and tight timelines
• Enhanced risk management through controlled load-path disruption

Core Capabilities

• Site assessment and cutting method selection based on material and reinforcement
• Permitting support and coordination for tight-access environments
• Structural assessment for load-path integrity before and after cuts
• Dust suppression and containment strategies (enclosures, misting, vacuum systems)
• Coordination with concrete removal, reinforcing bar separation, and waste sorting

Certifications and Safety

• ISO 9001:2015 – Quality Management System
• ISO 45001:2018 – Occupational Health & Safety Management System
• Height and equipment safety checks where applicable
• Trained personnel, PPE, and rigorous site safety briefings

Why Choose Core Cutting

• Enables precise demolition sequencing with minimal collateral damage
• Ideal for interior cores, columns, and sections within occupied or sensitive environments
• Reduces the need for heavy free-bing or jack-hammering, lowering noise and vibrations
• Supports sustainable demolition through controlled material recovery and recycling

Deliverables and Approach

• Detailed cutting plan with sequence, load-path considerations, and contingency options
• Structural impact assessments and clearance documentation
• Real-time monitoring of vibration and dust where needed
• Final debris reconciliation and recycling metrics

• Dust containment enclosures and negative-pressure systems
• Real-time vibration monitoring with alert thresholds
• Coordination with interior demolition planning and structural reinforcement
