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.

What a great year to be a concrete cutter
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.
The completion of the entire project is targeted by the end of July
2014 with a total project cost of $82.8 million. 48 Martin Place, Sydney
