Taking a look back at 2013

The Big Move We settled into our new and bigger premises at Seven Hills. With this bigger and better address we have been able to double our fleet and staff in both operators, labourers and office staff. We have welcomed some great new clients throughout 2013 and we are always grateful to retain and continue our relationship with our long term clients.

Breaking Boundaries Online Concrete Cutting Services continue to break boundaries within Australia with new technology and this year we were the first to test drive the Dragon Saw which is an effective way to saw through concrete. Online Concrete Cutting Services has a new Ring Saw that can be best described as the most productive and economic ring saw on the market, our 508mm blade cuts 406mm deep and the saw’s operating advantages in-clude the elimination of over cuts which in turn will save you time and money. We test drove this new equipment at various job sites around NSW and was welcomed with rave reviews from site supervisors, project mangers and of course the operators.

Awards Finalist Online Concrete Cutting Services was a Finalist in our category at the Local Business Awards, not bad for a first time entrant but we’ll get them in 2014.

The year that was. January – December 2013

Concrete Scanning Online Concrete Cutting Services offers concrete scanning,

using the latest non-destructive GPR concrete inspection

Technology. In July 2013 we put our most experienced operators

through a concrete scanning course.

Reduced delay’s can be achieved by calling the concrete cutters that

can do both scanning and cutting.

Some of the benefits that our clients have already experienced is that

concrete scanning performed prior to penetrating the surface reduces

the risk for expensive downtime or setbacks due to structural dam-

age. With Online Concrete Cutting Services you now have a faster,

safer, & less expensive GPR reporting option. Portability and ease of

operation allows the operator to move easily about the job site and

record a large amount of data in a short period of time.

In house Training

Earlier this year we hired an

extremely experienced and

knowledgeable trainer by the

name of Lee Cockram. Lee

brings 28 years of experience

with him.

Lee goes out to each job site to

not only make sure that the

work is being done correctly

but to share with our operators

his wealth of knowledge on

concrete cutting, drilling and

customer service.

With our high standards of

training we also have the

opportunity to train some

“newbie's” in the industry to be

the best when it comes to

concrete cutting, sawing and

drilling.

Lee keeps on top of all that’s

new within the industry and has

gained great respect with our

staff, operators and within the

concrete cutting and drilling

industry.

With Lee we will continue to

train our staff to be the best in

the industry which in turn

means when you hire Online

Concrete Cutting Services for

your project you’ll be getting

the best of operators.

Online Concrete Cutting

Services is not only

known for working on

intricate and very de-

tailed decorative cutting,

but we have also played

a role on many high pro-

file construction sites in

2013 such as the M2, the

Southern Freight Link

upgrade, the new loading

docks tunnel underneath

the Opera House, the

very high profile site of

Barangaroo and many more.

Barangaroo Barangaroo is a $6bn urban transformation of the western edge

of Sydney’s central business district and will provide extraordi-

nary benefits for Sydney, NSW Australia.

The southern 7.5 hectares of the site which is destined to be-

come the greenest and most advanced financial district and the

first large scale, carbon neutral precinct in Australia.

Online Concrete Cutting Services has been involved since the

early works on the site. At Barangaroo we were able to show-

case our use of several self run drill rigs being used at the same

time by one operator, which not only saved time and money but

also displayed the drill rigs efficiency and accuracy. Hundreds of

core holes were drilled into the sea wall at Baranagaroo. We

continue to work on the site performing various sawing & drilling

tasks.

Commonwealth Bank Money

Box Building

Online Concrete Cutting Services was contracted to do wire sawing,

core drilling, wall sawing and some road sawing at the historic Com-

monwealth Bank building which is now owned by Macquarie Group.

Online Concrete Cutting Services cut over 9 levels of concrete to

widen the main atrium .The main atrium will be widened from 6 me-

ters to 10.5 meters which will increase the amount of natural day-

light. Once finished the main atrium will be covered with a glass

dome.

This refurbishment will transform the historic banking chamber into a

state-of-the-art commercial workspace with over 11 levels. The land-

mark heritage-listed building was constructed between 1925 and

1928 and is a rare Australian example of the American influenced

Inter-War Beaux-Arts style.

2014 with a total project cost of $82.8 million. 48 Martin Place, Sydney
