The Concrete
Is In Your
Way.

You shouldn't have to drill through structural concrete yourself. The job won't stop. The site won't be a mess. We handle the concrete. You handle your trade.

---- THE PROBLEM

CONCRETE DOESN'T CARE

ABOUT YOUR SCHEDULE.

01

THE PHYSICAL BARRIER 

There's a reinforced slab, a foundation wall, or a masonry block between you and a finished job. Your hammer drill isn't rated for it. Rebar might be right where you need to core.
02

THE LOST TIME

Your R550/hr pipe fitter isn't a driller. Every hour your crew stands around fighting concrete is labour cost burning for zero progress. Tool rental. Wrong bits. 
It compounds fast.
03

THE REAL RISK

One bad core near a post-tension cable doesn't just cost repair money — it costs your license, your GC relationship, and the next six projects that were coming your way.
GPR
SCANNING FIRST.
EVERY TIME.

-- WHY US

WE KNOW YOU'RE ON 

A DEADLINE.

We've stood on job sites just like yours. We know what it costs 
when a crew goes idle because of concrete. We know the call 
you're dreading with your GC.
​
That's exactly why we built PrimeCoreDrilling. We work 
exclusively for the trades — plumbers, HVAC techs, mechanical contractors. Not homeowners. Not developers. You.

>    Industrial diamond core rigs — not hardware store equipment

>    GPR scanning before every slab penetration

>    Dust-controlled wet-core drilling — site stays clean

>    Fully insured — our liability, not yours

>    We show up on time. We hit the spec. We clean up completely.

 

------  HOW IT WORKS

THREE STEPS.

ONE CLEAN HOLE.

BACK TO WORK.

01

TELL US THE SPECS

Call us or fill in our quick quote form. Diameter, material, location, timeline. Not sure on specs? We'll help. We speak your language.

02

WE SHOW UP & DRILL

Our crew arrives on time with the right rig. We scan first if needed. We core to spec, work clean, and hit the diameter exactly. No surprises.

03

WE CLEAN UP & LEAVE

We haul the slurry, clean the area, and get out of your way. Your penetration is ready. Your crew gets back on the clock doing what they're paid to do.

---- THE PROBLEM

WHAT IT COSTS WHEN YOU 

HANDLE IT IN-HOUSE.

We're note here to scare you. But we've seen what concrete does to a job - and to a reputation.
WASTED LABOUR HOURS 
Your pipe fitter earns R450–R650/hr loaded. Three hours on a core he's not equipped for is real margin gone — before you factor in tool rental and wrong bits.

 STRUCTURAL RISK
Post-tension slabs. Rebar-heavy footers. Load-bearing walls. Hit the wrong thing without GPR 
scanning and you're looking at a structural engineer, a stop-work order, and your licensing 
board.

 THE RELATIONSHIP THAT DISAPPEARS
Your GC doesn't care why the hole is wrong. He cares that it is. One messy incident and your 
name isn't on the next six subcontract lists.


 

---- THE HAPPY ENDING

YOU WALK THE SITE.

EVERYTHING IS

RIGHT.

You send us specs the day before. We confirm. Our crew is on-site before your guys need the hole. We scan, core, hit the diameter and angle to spec. Slurry contained. Area swept before we pack up.

Your GC does the walkthrough at end of day. Everything clean. Everything on time. The penetrations are perfect. He asks who you used for the coring.

You hand him a card.

✓   REBAR AVOIDED - GPR CONFIRMED
✓   SITE CLEANED BEFORE WE LEAVE
✓   YOUR CREW BACK ON THE CLOCK
✓   GC SEES A PRO OPERATION
✓   YOUR REPUTATION PROTECTED
