Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
What size core holes can you drill?
Our core barrels range from as small as 25mm right up to our large 800mm barrels. If you require a larger circumference core to be drilled can arrange them also.
How much do you charge for coring?
It all depends on how wide, deep and how many cores you need. We have a price list on our website that will give you a rough understanding of the cost involved.
Are you certified?
Yes, all our operators are certified by the Concrete Sawing and Drilling Association (CSDA) and have years of experience carrying out complex core drills for our clients.
Is a water supply necessary for you to core drill?
If you do not have a water supply on site we can provide our Makinex Hose2Go water pump system to supply our core drills with a water supply.
Do you remove the concrete after it is cored?
Usually it is up to the client to dispose of the cored concrete. However we can provide a disposal service for our clients for an extra cost.
Is there a lot of slurry created with Concrete Core Drilling?
Yes, there is usually quite a lot of concrete slurry created during the core drilling process as to keep the diamonds on our core barrels cool a water supply is needed. We can however provide slurry control solutions for our clients. We use Tyrolit suction pads around our core barrels, which we then attach our powerful slurry vac's to. This will allow us to control all the slurry created during the coring process.
Can you carry out inverted core holes?
We can provide you with inverted core holes however this will occur extra fee's as it is a lot harder on our operators and takes a lot longer to setup the core drill and core drill stand.
Do you need power on site?
If you have power available on site this would be beneficial but not necessary. We can provide you with our Makinex Petrol Generator to provide power to our core drills and slurry vac.
Do you offer your services outside of the Sydney Metro Area?
Yes. Perfect Concrete Care provides services beyond the Sydney Metro Area, delivering projects across regional NSW and QLD. Our experienced teams are equipped to travel and mobilise efficiently, ensuring the same high standards of safety, quality, and performance on every site, no matter the location.
Can we provide Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS)?
Yes of course we can provide a full set of S.W.M.S upon request. S.W.M.S are generally required for larger construction sites and we will provide site-specific documents as needed. We are happy to work with safety officers for any special requirements they might have.
