Trenching & Pour-Back

Turnkey concrete removal and replacement in a single mobilization.

Our Process

Four steps. One crew. Single mobilization. CTS handles the entire scope from first cut to final finish.

1

Cut

Diamond flat saws make precision cuts along the trench lines, creating clean, straight edges that minimize damage to the surrounding slab.

2

Remove

Cut sections are extracted and removed. Debris is hauled to approved disposal or recycling facilities. The trench is prepared for utility work.

3

Pour Back

Fresh concrete is placed in the trench to match the existing slab thickness and strength. Mix designs are selected to meet or exceed original specifications.

4

Finish

The surface is finished to match the surrounding floor profile — troweled, broom-finished, or polished depending on the application. Traffic can return within 24 hours on most applications.

Why Turnkey Matters

Traditional trenching requires coordinating a cutting sub, a demolition crew, a concrete supplier, and a finishing contractor. Each handoff introduces schedule risk, finger-pointing, and cost overruns.

CTS eliminates those gaps. We own the entire scope — cutting, removal, pour-back, and finish — under a single subcontract with one point of contact. The result is faster turnaround, cleaner transitions, and a GC who can plan around a reliable schedule.

  • Single mobilization — no waiting between trades
  • 24-hour traffic return on most applications
  • One contract, one point of accountability
  • Concrete mix matched to existing slab specifications
  • Reduced schedule risk and cost overruns
