Openings marked before cutting
Concrete cutting is laid out from the finished metal, drain, pipe, or anchor that has to fit the opening. Cut lines are checked before saws touch the slab.

Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from concrete cutting and coring in Waterloo
Depth protects hidden services
Slab thickness, reinforcement, conduits, and embedded services are considered before coring or sawcutting. The wrong depth can turn a metal installation into a building repair.
Cores sized for anchors
Bollards, railings, sleeves, drains, and pipe penetrations each need different core diameters and edge distances. We size the hole around the hardware and the concrete it has to hold.
Edges ready for frames
When cutting for trench drains, hatch covers, or grates, the concrete edge needs enough shoulder for the frame. A rough oversized cut leaves the metal unsupported.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
Your concrete cutting and coring is supported by Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
Our Process
How we specify, fabricate, and deliver Concrete Cutting and Coring
Concrete Cutting And Coring is custom-fabricated or coordinated for pads, curbs, sidewalks, drainage surrounds, loading areas, exterior slabs, and equipment bases, where fit, access, durability, and site conditions matter more than a stock product. The Grate Guys builds concrete cutting and coring around drawings, measurements, traffic duty, finish exposure, and installation constraints using formed concrete, reinforcing, embedded steel, frames, anchors, and drainage interfaces coordinated to the approved scope, made to order in our Toronto shop, licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, with a workmanship warranty on every order, supplied and installed across the GTA and shipped Canada-wide.

Understanding concrete cutting and coring
How Concrete Cutting and Coring is scoped in Waterloo
Most concrete cutting and coring jobs in Waterloo are driven by site access, regional shipping, building use, exposure, measurement tolerance, and install timing. The Grate Guys treats each request as a practical scoping job: the quote starts with what must be measured, what load or use the part has to survive, and how the fabrication will reach the site.
The Waterloo checklist for this product covers measurements, material choice, load case, finish, delivery access, installation timing, and drawing approval. That keeps the page tied to a real product and a real local project, with clear constraints, site details, and quote-ready information a buyer can act on.
