We aren’t exaggerating when we say that no job is too large or too small for KC Coring and Cutting. Along with our other services, we also can complete projects using hand-powered concrete saws.




Our concrete hand saws allow for portability and speed. They can be used to cut tiles, bricks, stones, concrete, asphalt, or other hard materials. They are highly-versatile pieces of equipment and may be the right tool for your project.




While you would think that hand-powered concrete saws would only be used for small jobs, they can also be used for larger jobs in tight spaces. Our hand-powered concrete saws are small and lightweight. In addition, they are powered by hydraulics, so they can fit into tight spots that would not be accessible with larger gas-powered pieces of equipment.




Our expertly-trained crews use concrete hand saws to cut openings or channels through concrete blocks, slabs, or walls. They can create clean holes for the installation of any type of opening, including doors and windows. The KC Cutting and Coring crews also use concrete hand saws to cut through concrete during demolition projects. They can also be used to cut through pipes or to create maintenance holes.




As you can see, our hand-powered concrete saws are some of the most valuable tools in our arsenal because they can be used to complete diverse projects.




Yes, a concrete hand saw is a valuable tool, but tools are only helpful if utilized by a well-trained team. The KC Coring and Cutting crews are experts in what they do. They also have a lot of experience when it comes to concrete cutting–they have seen and done it all. In our industry, we know we only have one chance to get it right.




We also understand that we work in a dangerous industry. That’s why KC Coring and Cutting has a full-time Safety Director and Director of Risk Control Services. These individuals train every team member to ensure they provide a safe worksite for other crews, our clients, and our own employees.




KC Coring and Cutting has an excellent safety rating. Our crew members have OSHA and TWIC certifications, and we are proud to be a Federal Drug-Free Workplace and an A+ Insurance Carrier.




Yes, we care about safety, but we also care about getting the job done on time and as promised. We understand that other crews may not be able to complete their work until ours is done. Our schedulers have a lot of experience in the field, so they understand how long a project will take and won’t promise a deadline that we can’t meet.
