Hi all I need to break up a section of concrete roughly 9 feet by 4 feet from the corner of the wash area in front of my garage to get the foundations for my house extension in. The concrete was laid in 1974 and is roughly 12X12 feet with a drain in the middle and diagonal expansion joints-it is approx 8 inches thick. Is this a job for a self powered concrete breaker?. Will cutting the slab with a Stihl saw help to make the concrete easier to get in the skip?. My brother in law is making dire predictions aboit the diamond blade hitting steel reinforcing. How deep should sawcuts be?.
