For years, the core drilling industry has accepted certain risks and inefficiencies as “just part of the job”. Contractors have navigated the dangers of falling concrete slugs and the frustration of damaged samples that require costly re-drilling. At Coring Technologies Inc., our mission is to drive innovation that leads the industry with precise solutions ensuring both safety and efficiency.
Today, we are proud to introduce a game-changer for construction and infrastructure projects: the CorePro Extractor.
Why the CorePro Extractor?
While standard core extractors provide basic removal functionality, they often fall short when facing “stubborn” cores or heavily reinforced concrete. The CorePro Extractor isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a total reimagining of the extraction process.
- Patented Anchoring System: Unlike traditional models that rely on curved blades and pressure, the CorePro anchors an all-thread directly into the core. This adaptive gripping system provides a uniform hold that minimizes chipping, cracking, or shattering—even for fragile samples.
- Eliminating the “Catch”: Traditional drilling often requires a second operator to “catch” or prepare for a falling concrete slug. The CorePro retains the slug automatically, eliminating the need for extra man-hours and drastically reducing the risk of struck-by injuries.
- Built for Versatility: Our models handle a broader range of diameters beyond standard 4-inch or 6-inch sizes and excel in diverse materials like heavily reinforced concrete.
Safety That Impacts the Bottom Line
In this industry, safety isn’t just a regulatory checkbox; it’s a fundamental value driver. A single falling core slug incident can result in workers’ compensation claims ranging from $45,000 to $150,000. Beyond injuries, property damage to underground utilities or structural reinforcements can escalate costs to over $1.3 million.
The CorePro Extractor provides a quantifiable economic benefit by:
- Reducing Liability: By preventing falling slugs, you protect your team and your reputation.
- Guaranteeing Lab Acceptance: A secure, non-damaging grip eliminates the material waste and labor costs of re-drilling damaged samples.
- Enhancing Longevity: Engineered with wear-resistant materials, the CorePro is designed to outlast the drilling rig itself by double or triple the time.
