What does kerb and barrier sawing involve?
Kerb and barrier sawing is planned cutting of concrete kerbs and barrier sections for modification, separation or removal. The existing profile, required finished shape and adjacent road or pedestrian conditions define the scope.
Show the existing profile and proposed change
For a kerb alteration, photograph the full profile and mark the requested cut. For a barrier section, identify its dimensions, connections and the portion to remain. Explain whether the result is an access opening, a shortened section or preparation for removal.
Coordinate the surrounding civil works
Kerb and barrier cutting may sit alongside drainage, paving, road works or reinstatement. Show nearby services and structures, and explain how traffic and pedestrians will be managed. Confirm who will remove cut material and complete the new profile or adjacent finishes.

What affects pricing
- Profile, dimensions, cut length and the number of sections.
- Site access, nearby services and traffic or pedestrian constraints.
- Handling, removal, finishing requirements, staging and mobilisation.
The office reviews these factors before scope and pricing are agreed. A requested date is subject to confirmed availability.
Planning the work
- Review the profile, dimensions and cutting limits against the project layout.
- Coordinate work-area access, traffic or pedestrian arrangements and adjacent services.
- Agree cut-section handling, removal and any reinstatement or finishing tasks.
Scope and responsibilities
Sawing and reinstating a kerb or barrier are different tasks. Required approvals, design details, removal and replacement work should be identified by the project and included in the agreed scope where needed.
