Yes. Cover-meter or GPR scanning is standard before drilling through structural slabs and walls in Sharjah — especially in post-tensioned buildings where hitting a tendon is unacceptable.

Core Cutting Sharjah
USF Demolition Works LLC delivers diamond core cutting across Sharjah for MEP contractors, plumbers, electricians, and fit-out crews. We drill round holes from 25 mm up to 600 mm diameter through reinforced concrete slabs, walls, beams, and block walls — for ducts, pipes, cable trays, conduit, anchor bolts, and MEP penetrations.
CORE CUTTING IN SHARJAH
Across Sharjah we core-drill in live commercial buildings, malls, and residential towers without dust, vibration, or noise that affects the neighbour. Equipment is matched to the wall thickness, the rebar pattern, and the access space available. Sharjah carries the UAE's largest stock of 1980s and 1990s villas now reaching the end of their economic life, plus a major industrial belt along the Sharjah-Dubai border that drives steady warehouse demolition demand. Pricing is typically 10-20% below Dubai for equivalent work.
Regulatory framework: Demolition in Sharjah is regulated by Sharjah Municipality (Building Department) and the Sharjah Planning and Survey Department, with SEWA handling electricity, water, and gas isolations. Free-zone projects in SAIF Zone, Hamriyah Free Zone, or Sharjah Publishing City follow the zone authority's separate NOC workflow.

OUR PROCESS
A structured 5-step approach from site survey to plot handover.
1
Mark-Up Confirmation
Hole positions confirmed against the MEP setting-out drawings in Sharjah; rebar scanned where the spacing matters.
2
Rebar Scan & Adjustment
Cover-meter or GPR scan to locate rebar and post-tensioning tendons. Hole positions adjusted to avoid critical reinforcement.
3
Setup & Protection
Rig anchored, slurry pan or vacuum collection in place, and adjacent finishes / cables protected.
4
Drilling
Diamond core drilled wet to full depth; cores withdrawn and stockpiled for disposal or reuse.
5
Clean-Down & Handover
Hole edges cleaned, slurry removed, and the area handed back to the MEP contractor ready for the next stage.
CORE CUTTING COST FACTORS
Core cutting in Sharjah is priced per hole (or per batch) after a site visit or against a marked-up MEP drawing. A minimum mobilisation charge typically applies for small jobs.
Diameter
Cost per hole rises with diameter — 50 mm cores are quick and cheap; 300 mm+ takes specialist rigs and longer setup.
Wall or slab thickness
Depth drives drill-time directly. Stitch-drilling through extra-thick walls adds setup cost.
Number of holes
Mobilisation is spread across the hole count; batches of 20+ holes price meaningfully better per hole than single-hole call-outs.
Rebar density
Heavily reinforced slabs blunt diamond segments faster and slow the drill.
Out-of-hours working
Night and weekend work in live commercial buildings carries a shift premium.
