    Pedestrian con saw.
    Successive shallow cuts easier than going full depth in one swipe. Break out rubble with jack hammer or mini digger

    Get advice on how to seal between new and old concrete when re pouring.

    I did that a few years ago with the concrete apron in front of the pit. I knew the concrete was deep enough (4") to cut out a channel 2x2 in it.


    I got local lads who specialise in this kind of stuff to cut a number of deep cuts down 2" and kango them out.



    If you check your local area for concrete specialists, they will do it or will know someone who do it.

    Hire a roadsaw. Probably around 60 euro per day plus vat. Set it at the depth you want. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. Kangoo out the channel.
