Soff Cut (Early Entry Cutting)
The Problem
One of the problems facing concrete contractors, random cracking is among the most costly and aggravating. Random cracking is particularly troubling because it immediately casts doubt on concrete quality, leading to owner dissatisfaction, callbacks and disputes.
The Solution
The optimal way to control random cracking. With ultra-early entry cutting you can control cracking in slabs up to 225 mm thick, with only a 25 mm minimum depth, within the green zone (1–2 hours after pouring).
