Summary: Concrete coring creates round holes in concrete using diamond-tipped drills — perfect for installing pipes, HVAC, or testing structural integrity. Concrete cutting uses saws or wires to remove or reshape sections, ideal for creating doorways, trenches, or...

Summary: Before any concrete is drilled, cut, or cored, scanning the slab is essential to avoid hitting rebar, electrical lines, or buried pipes. Concrete scanning services like ours use ground-penetrating radar and X-ray technology to detect embedded hazards and...

When Safe2Core was asked to perform a complete onsite utility locate at San Mateo High School to help evaluate future construction design feasibility, we were happy to assist. This was a large project because it included not only the building pad and footprint but the...

As construction processes, equipment and techniques evolve, technology plays an ever-increasing role in the efficiency, safety, and efficacy of modern construction. One major advance is the use of ground-penetrating radar (GPR). These devices are often used to locate reinforcing steel members such as rebar

If you own property, you probably already know you need to have public utility lines located and private utilities marked before doing any excavation or improving work on a job site, even if you’re only building parking lots. Nationwide, most states have a “call before you dig” policy. When property owners or construction company

At Safe2core Inc., we’re proud to be one of the top nondestructive construction testing contractors in the country.

When Safe2core was contacted by Okland Construction to provide concrete scanning and core drilling services for the renovation and remodeling of Footprint Center, home of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns, we knew this wasn’t going to be any “average” project.

Since humanity first realized the wealth of natural resources waiting to be tapped beneath our feet, we have sought out ways to track, locate and identify potential treasures and hazards lurking underground. The most obvious way to do this was through the use of canny observation paired with brute force,

At Safe2Core Inc., we know a thing or two about concrete coring. Over the years, we’ve been on many a job, from small show-and-go projects to huge industrial project campuses. We take a lot of pride in our experience and the service we provide to meet the needs of every client we have. But we also have a sense of humor about our work

Sometimes when drilling and sawing, it can be difficult to achieve a cavity of the correct size or shape using conventional methods such as floor sawing, wire sawing, or ordinary diamond drilling. Coring and drilling operations are both limited in the size and depth...
