Concrete Coring in Ontario
Need precise holes for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or utility installations? Our concrete coring service delivers clean and accurate openings with minimal disruption.
Concrete coring creates clean, round penetrations for pipes, conduits, ductwork, and anchor bolts. Our core drills handle diameters from ½ inch to 24+ inches in walls, floors, and ceilings, with depth control and angle drilling when required. We core through reinforced concrete, precast, and asphalt overlays. Applications include high-rise plumbing risers, electrical stub-ups, HVAC roof curbs, hydro vault entries, and lab sample cores. Each hole is laid out to your coordinates or we work from your shop drawings. Slurry capture and protection of finished spaces are standard. When you need concrete coring near me with reliable scheduling, Ontime delivers.
Professional Standards & Work Site Prep
At Ontime Concrete Cutting, we adhere to strict quality controls to ensure every precision cut is completed safely, cleanly, and on schedule. To prepare your job site for our crew, please confirm the following requirements:
- Utility Clearances: All target cutting areas must be pre-scanned (via GPR utility locating) to verify that no live electrical conduits, post-tension cables, or water lines are embedded.
- Water & Power Access: Concrete cutting requires a continuous water feed for dust suppression. Please ensure a water connection is within 100 feet of the cutting path.
- Safety Signage: Clear the immediate workspace of unauthorized personnel. We establish barricades and ventilation to manage dust control and slurry extraction.
