Services
We were brought in for our expertise in coring, which we did for the new plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems, coring over 3,000 holes, with round holes for electrical and plumbing and square holes for the HVAC system. As construction continued, additional coring and removing was identified and our work grew.

Special Considerations
This project had a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) requiring that we use local hires who were veterans as apprentices along with our team. We are proud to say one of those apprentices has been permanently hired by Fast Forward Concrete Cutting.
