Practical planning guide

Concrete cutting, lifting & removal responsibilities

Cutting separates the concrete; support, lifting, handling and disposal determine how it is removed. Allocate each task before agreeing a cutting or demolition package.

Mark concrete removal boundaries

Show what must be removed and what remains. Include drawings, known dimensions and the project’s structural information. The cutting arrangement and handling arrangement should be considered together by the responsible project parties.

Allocate support and lifting tasks

State who arranges support, lifting equipment, handling personnel and material removal. Do not assume these are included because the service name mentions cutting or demolition. Ask for the required tasks to be listed clearly in the proposed scope.

Define handling space and the removal route

Explain where material will go after separation, the available handling space and the route to collection or disposal. Include floor levels and restricted access. Describe the project’s proposed work stages so interfaces can be reviewed before attendance.

Agree waste handling and reinstatement

Clarify waste handling, slurry arrangements, reinstatement and responsibility for the retained structure. The enquiry starts a scope discussion. It does not create a lifting plan, approve structural changes or confirm that every related task has been included.

Your enquiry checklist

  • Removal boundaries and retained elements
  • Support and lifting responsibilities
  • Staging and removal route
  • Waste and reinstatement scope

Send what you know and identify details still being confirmed. These guides help describe a project; the agreed site-specific scope determines the work.

These answers help you prepare an enquiry. For requirements specific to your site, talk to the office.

Discuss your project
Does a cutting quote automatically include lifting equipment?

No. Identify temporary support, lifting equipment, handling personnel and section removal as individual requirements. Confirm which tasks and equipment are included in the agreed quote.

What information connects the cut layout to section handling?

Provide removal boundaries, concrete dimensions and the retained structure, with the project’s proposed support and lifting arrangements. Include handling space, staged section sizes and the route to the removal point.

What should be confirmed at handover after concrete removal?

Specify the agreed removal extent, retained elements, waste and slurry handling and required reinstatement. Identify outstanding or follow-on work and who carries it out.
