Yes. PT slabs are cut with engineered stitch-drilling between anchorages — never uncontrolled cutting, which can cause sudden tendon release.

Slab Cutting Dubai
USF Demolition Works LLC provides slab cutting in Dubai for fit-out contractors, MEP installers, and structural alterations — straight saw cuts in floor slabs for new openings, staircases, lift shafts, MEP risers, and expansion joints. Our floor-saw and wall-saw fleet handles RC, post-tensioned, and composite slabs.
SLAB CUTTING IN DUBAI
Slab cutting in Dubai requires GPR scanning before the cut to locate rebar and tendons, and structural-engineer sign-off for any opening that affects the load path. USF packages both with the cut so the contractor receives a single, accountable scope.
Regulatory framework: Structural slab openings (lift shafts, staircases, large MEP risers) require Dubai Municipality / DDA approval and consultant sign-off. Non-structural cuts (expansion joints, small MEP penetrations) usually need only landlord NOC.

A structured 5-step approach from site survey to plot handover.
1
Mark-Up & Pre-Cut Survey
Cut lines marked on the slab; access and edge supports confirmed.
2
GPR Scan
Rebar and post-tensioning mapped; cut lines adjusted to avoid critical reinforcement.
3
Engineer Sign-Off
Structural openings receive consultant sign-off before cutting starts.
4
Floor / Wall Sawing
Cuts made wet with diamond blades; slurry collected and removed.
5
Section Removal
Cut sections are lifted out by hand, machine, or crane and disposed.
SLAB CUTTING COST FACTORS
Slab cutting in Dubai is priced per linear metre or per opening. Lump-sum quotations include GPR, engineer sign-off, cutting, and section removal.
Slab thickness
Cost scales with depth and reinforcement density.
PT vs. RC
PT slabs need stitch-drilling and engineered sequence — costlier per linear metre.
Opening size
Larger openings need more linear cut and crane removal.
Access
Upper floors need lift / hoist for equipment and removal.
Slurry control
Occupied buildings below need bunding and vacuum extraction.
