Concrete Cutting for Municipal & Government Projects in Houston
Permit-aware cutting and coring for public infrastructure and facilities — ROW work, ADA sidewalk cuts, prevailing-wage jobs and traffic-control coordination.
Municipal and government work carries paperwork the private sector does not: right-of-way permits, traffic-control plans, prevailing-wage requirements and inspection sign-offs. The concrete cutting itself — sidewalks, curbs, utility vaults, public-building renovations — is routine, but the compliance and scheduling around it define the job.
Public right-of-way and ADA work
A large share of public cutting is in the right-of-way: sidewalk panel replacement for ADA compliance, curb cuts for accessibility ramps, and utility-vault openings for public works. These jobs need permits, lane or pedestrian control, and cuts that meet ADA slope and detectable-warning requirements. Facility renovations follow the same occupied-building rules as any public institution.
- ADA sidewalk panel and curb-ramp cutting
- Utility vault openings for water, power and telecom
- Trench cutting for public utility relocations
- Public-facility renovation openings and cores
Compliance is part of the scope
Public work is coordinated with permitting, traffic control and inspection schedules. ADA sidewalk and ramp cuts are made to the required geometry, and crews follow OSHA 1926.1153 silica controls in the right-of-way as on any site.
- ROW permit and traffic-control coordination
- ADA-compliant sidewalk and curb-ramp cutting
- Silica control and slurry management in public spaces

- Do you handle ADA sidewalk and curb-ramp cutting?
- Yes. Sidewalk panel replacement and curb-ramp cuts are made to the required ADA geometry, coordinated with right-of-way permitting and pedestrian control.
- Can crews work within a traffic-control plan?
- Yes. Right-of-way work is coordinated with lane or pedestrian control and permit schedules so cutting fits approved access windows.
- Do you cut utility vault openings?
- Yes. Openings for water, power and telecom vaults are cut after locating existing utilities, with slurry contained in the public space.
- How is silica handled on public right-of-way work?
- Crews follow OSHA 1926.1153 with wet cutting and slurry management in the right-of-way, the same standard applied on any Houston site.
