Concrete Cutting for Municipal & Government Projects
Municipal infrastructure requires constant maintenance and improvement, and concrete cutting is essential to nearly every public works project involving roads, utilities, buildings, and accessibility. Government projects demand contractors who meet insurance requirements, understand prevailing wage compliance, and deliver documented, specification-grade work. Delays in municipal concrete cutting affect public safety, utility service, and community access to essential facilities.
Municipal and government projects across Massachusetts rely on concrete cutting for infrastructure maintenance, public building renovations, road and sidewalk repair, utility access, and compliance upgrades. Cities and towns maintain miles of concrete roadways, sidewalks, curbs, and drainage structures that require regular cutting for repair and utility work. Public buildings including city halls, fire stations, police stations, libraries, and community centers need ongoing concrete cutting for mechanical upgrades, accessibility improvements, and renovation projects. REDCORE serves municipal clients throughout Massachusetts with the reliability, insurance coverage, and compliance that government project specifications demand.
Road and infrastructure work represents a significant portion of our municipal concrete cutting projects. When a water main needs repair, a sewer line requires replacement, or a new utility connection must be made, the first step is cutting through the concrete or asphalt surface to access the underground infrastructure. REDCORE provides clean, straight road cuts that create well-defined edges for the excavation, making it easier for the utility crew to work and for the paving contractor to make a clean patch afterward. We also cut concrete sidewalks, curbs, and catch basin structures as part of municipal infrastructure maintenance and improvement projects.
ADA compliance work in public buildings and infrastructure is an ongoing need for Massachusetts municipalities. Curb ramp construction and modification, sidewalk trip hazard removal, doorway widening in public buildings, and accessible restroom construction all require concrete cutting. REDCORE understands the specific dimensions and standards these accessibility projects must meet and provides the precise cutting work that ensures compliance with federal and state accessibility requirements.
REDCORE is experienced with the administrative and compliance requirements of municipal and government work in Massachusetts. We carry the insurance coverage public agencies require, understand prevailing wage requirements, and work within the procurement and scheduling processes that government projects follow. Our crews coordinate with municipal engineers, DPW departments, and general contractors to deliver concrete cutting that meets public sector standards for quality and documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions — Municipal & Government Projects
Are you compliant with Massachusetts prevailing wage requirements for public projects?
Yes. We are familiar with the Massachusetts prevailing wage law and maintain payroll documentation as required for public construction contracts. We provide certified payroll records when specified in the contract documents and comply with all wage rate determinations issued by the Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards.
What kind of road cutting do you do for utility access?
We cut concrete and asphalt road surfaces to create clean-edged openings for water main repairs, sewer line replacement, gas line work, and telecommunications conduit installation. Our road saws produce straight, vertical-sided cuts that define the excavation boundary, making the subsequent patching cleaner and longer-lasting. We cut to the depth required — typically 8 to 12 inches for road surfaces.
Can you build ADA-compliant curb ramps to current Massachusetts specifications?
We cut the existing concrete curb and sidewalk to create the opening for new ADA-compliant curb ramps. The cutting provides the clean edges and correct geometry that the ramp form requires. We work from the engineer's or architect's drawings to ensure the ramp slope, landing dimensions, and detectable warning placement meet both federal ADA standards and Massachusetts access board requirements.
How do you handle traffic control and public safety during road cutting projects?
We coordinate with the municipal DPW or project manager on traffic control plans before any road work begins. Typically the municipality or general contractor provides traffic control signage and flagging. We position our equipment and crew within the designated work zone and maintain clean sight lines for passing traffic. All crew members wear high-visibility vests and our equipment carries required warning lights.
