Sterling Concrete Sawing and Drilling Ltd. would like to take this opportunity to introduce some of the extended services that we provide. About ten years ago, at the request of our customers, we diversified from our core activity of sawing drilling and excavation into various related services. Our crews became trained to provide:

• Floors
• Trenches
• Curbs
• Pads
• Forming
• Rebar

FLOORS

NEW FLOORS
There are three main types of floors that you can request from us – regular, suspended and insulated. If necessary, we will:
• excavate and insert compacted fill
• insert drains and/or pipes
• build custom forming
• drill and insert dowels to adjacent floor
• supply and install rebar or mesh steel reinforcing
• supply and pour the specified type of concrete
• supply and install surface hardeners if required
• slope to drains if required
• finish the concrete surface to the required smoothness (broom finish, hand trowel finish, etc.)
• saw cut control joints

INSULATED FLOORS
For the construction of an insulated floor, we insert the required vapour barrier and insulation below the poured concrete. The selection of the correct materials for this depends on the temperature differential that the room is expected to have with the sub-floor environment during normal operation.

EXISTING FLOORS
For existing concrete floors, we offer maintenance services as follows:
• repair of cracks and spalls with concrete and/or resinous repair materials
• diamond grinding to smooth finish
• re-slope floor to drains
• core drilling to allow insertion of machine anchors and other fasteners.
• core drilling to enable placement of conduit or pipes

TRENCHES

TRENCHES IN CONCRETE

We are your number one call when you need any kind of concrete trench. We use our cutting, excavating and extended service skills frequently to construct various types of trenches.

• TRENCH DRAINS. Such drains are professionally planned and designed by our team; they need to slope at an adequate rate, and where necessary we would also examine the trench surface and existing floor level with our laser scanner. We can also connect your new drain to existing drains or install connecting pipes your waste system or sewer. When you order, ask us about the options, because we can supply and install the drain grating in steel or FRP plastic. The trench can also be specially lined or have an extruded plastic gutter inserted.

• CONDUIT TRENCH. For the protection of electrical, telephone and data conduit, as well as for pipes, we can construct conduit trenches in your concrete floor. Normally such trenches would also have access hatches installed at intervals for maintenance.

CURBS

CONCRETE CURBS

Contact Sterling Concrete for any of your curb needs.

• CURB CUTTING. Curb cutting is often done as a part of a demolition contract by us. However, we are happy to quote for smaller jobs where you may only require a height adjustment for a new entrance or sidewalk.

• CURB CONSTRUCTION. We can form and pour curbs for you. Alternately, we can use our in-line machine. Ask for more details. Where wheelchair or another type of access demands, we can also construct a ramp, complete with safety rails.

• INSULATED CURBS. Where a curb is required as a protective load-bearing foundation for insulated panels in a large freezer, we insert the rigid foam insulation in the centre of the curb so that it connects continuously to the existing floor insulation.

• FOOD STANDARD CURBS. We have the skills to construct curbs with the required surfaces for sanitary hygiene to meet the inspection standards of the CFIA for food processing plants.

PADS

To support small storage buildings, special equipment, lighting, pylon signs, traffic signs etc., we can construct a concrete pad inside or outside your building. We can also construct special walled pads for chemical containment or flood protection.

FORMING

To avoid any delay in our concrete pouring projects, we have in-house trained operators to design, construct and install all types of concrete forms for your concrete work. All our forms are inspected and approved for quality and workmanship by our site superintendents before pouring begins.

Once the concrete has cured sufficiently, we remove the forms and once more inspect the resulting structures before proceeding with the next stage of the work.

REBAR

The selection and installation of the correct rebar for your project is a skilled task. Material selection and correct spacing of rebar is the responsibility of our in-house estimators and site superintendents, unless this is already specified in your drawings etc.
