Cutting, Scanning & Coring

Did you know that METRO does SLAB SAWING and CORING?

Metro’s cutting & coring crews specialize in concrete cutting, drilling, and the removal of small to medium structures. Ground penetrating radar is safer than x-ray and hand held coring for shotcrete as well as asphalt coring with gas powered core drills can be done in remote areas. Metro’ s coring unit will meet all of your coring needs being able to core from 6 inches to more than 20 feet deep.

Most contractors understand the basic savings of Coring & Cutting over using a jackhammer. The jackhammer is far more time consuming and noisy. Its damage cannot be restricted to exact tolerances. Its pounding can induce serious structural weaknesses. Coring & Cutting leaves a better appearance, is considerably faster, reduces noise and dust, and eliminates vibration.

CUTTING


  • Flat Sawing: Slabs can be cut up to 32" in depth from the surface.
  • Removal: We offer a complete scope of concrete removal of slab on grade for pits, bases, service trenches, etc. Total disposal off-site.

GPR SCANNING


  • Locate rebar before you core
  • REBAR locate rebar in horizontal and vertical surfaces
  • CONDUIT Locate ‘live’ conduit to avoid damage when drilling, cutting or coring through concrete
  • POST-TENSINON CABLES Locate post tension cables to avoid damaging them when cutting, coring or drilling through concrete

CORING - concrete & asphalt


  • Diamond Core Drilling: Can drill holes from 1/4" to 12" diameter at any depth.
  • In situ concrete strength confirmation
  • Rebar coverage and concrete consolidation
  • Road evaluation with asphalt depth and density
  • Shotcrete nozzleman certification coring
  • Coring for the installation of conduits, duct work, water, electrical and gas lines, etc…
