Hydraulic Shear Cutter Service

Hydraulic Shear Cutter Service — Onyx Engineering

Overview
Onyx Engineering offers Hydraulic Shear Cutter Services for precise, controlled material separation in demolition, decommissioning, and processing operations. Our high-strength hydraulic shears cut through structural steel, reinforced concrete, and other tough materials with clean, predefined interfaces, minimizing collateral damage and accelerating project timelines.

Why choose Onyx for hydraulic shear cutting

• Precision cuts: High-force, controllable cuts that meet exact tolerances and interface requirements.
• Safety and compliance: ISO 45001:2018 health & safety management and ISO 9001:2015 quality management, with rigorous RAMS, permits, and on-site safety oversight.
• Versatility across materials: Effective on structural steel, steel reinforcement, concrete mass with rebar, and fabricated components.
• Minimizes downtime: Quick cuts reduce crane time, man-hours, and need for secondary finishing.
• Debris containment and dust control: Integrated dust suppression and containment during cutting to protect surroundings.

Our hydraulic shear cutter capabilities

• Structural steel cutting: Beam and column cuts, I-beams, HSS, and plate cuts with clean interfaces.
• Reinforcement cutting: Selective and controlled cutting of rebar and mesh within concrete, minimizing spall.
• Concrete mass shearing: Segment cuts in mass concrete where necessary, with controlled fragmentation.
• Plate and equipment disconnects: Harsh environments and tight spaces require precise cuts to enable safe removal.
• Prefab and fabrications: Decommissioning of welded assemblies and modular components.

Methods and equipment

• Equipment: Hydraulic shear cutters mounted on excavators, skid-steer units, or dedicated demolition robots; compatible with standard hoisting and rigging setups.
• Techniques: Ultra-high-pressure hydraulic actuation, precision jaw alignment, and synchronized cutting sequences to ensure clean breaks.
• Safety and QA: Pre-cut validation, depth and interface checks, debris containment, and post-cut inspection.

Health, safety, and environment

• Permitting and compliance: Local demolition permits, environmental controls, and waste management alignment.
• Dust and noise control: Water misting, containment enclosures, and vibration monitoring where required.
• Safe handling: Lockout/Tagout coordination for adjacent utilities, PPE standards, and RAMS.
• Training: Operator qualification programs, toolbox talks, and hazard identifications.

Applications

• Structural steel dismantling in buildings, bridges, and industrial facilities
• Concrete and masonry mass reduction where rebar is present
• Equipment decommissioning and skid-mounted process units
• Urban demolition projects with limited access and high precision requirements
