MACS Concrete Sawing and Drilling

Frequently Asked Questions About MACS Concrete Sawing and Drilling

What kind of commercial projects does MACS Concrete Sawing and Drilling typically handle across Western Australia?

MACS specialises in large-scale commercial and industrial work across mining, construction, and industrial sectors throughout WA. Their multidisciplinary approach means they tackle everything from precision core drilling for services penetrations on mining sites to controlled slab sawing for demolition projects. They also handle full design-and-construct civil works, including structural concrete slabs and footings. Their Canning Vale base supports projects statewide, with equipment and labour hire options for extended jobs.

How long has MACS Concrete Sawing and Drilling been operating in Western Australia?

MACS was established back in 1974, giving them a full 50 years of specialised concrete cutting and drilling experience in WA. That's half a century of handling technical concrete services for commercial clients, from early mining boom projects through to today's industrial developments. Being WA-owned and operated since day one, they've built deep local knowledge of site conditions, supplier networks, and the specific demands of Western Australian mining and construction sectors.

Does MACS Concrete Sawing and Drilling provide plant and equipment hire alongside their sawing services?

Yes, MACS offers full plant hire, crane hire, and labour hire options to support large commercial projects across Western Australia. This means clients can hire specialised concrete cutting equipment, mobile cranes for heavy lifts, or skilled operators for extended jobs without committing to full project management. It's particularly useful for mining and industrial sites needing temporary capacity or specific gear for short-term concrete removal, demolition work, or structural installations at remote locations.

What makes MACS Concrete Sawing and Drilling stand out among Canning Vale concreters?

MACS is one of only two concreters in Canning Vale handling commercial-scale structural and demolition work, and they're the only one with 50 years of WA history behind them. Locals tell us they're a family-oriented operation where Mr Short and his team create a professional, steady work environment. Unlike residential-focused operators, MACS brings multidisciplinary capabilities—civil works, scanning technology, modular buildings—so mining and industrial clients get coordinated project delivery rather than piecemeal subcontractors.

Does MACS Concrete Sawing and Drilling offer concrete scanning services before cutting or drilling?

Yes, MACS provides scanning services as part of their concrete sawing and drilling operations. This technology locates embedded rebar, post-tensioned cables, and services before any cutting begins—critical for structural integrity on commercial and industrial sites. Scanning minimises the risk of striking electrical conduits or weakening load-bearing elements during core drilling or slab sawing work. For mining and construction projects across WA, this upfront scanning step prevents costly delays and safety incidents on active worksites.
