They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but that adage doesn’t appear to hold true for Cobra Concrete. Founded in 1999, this full-service company continues to expand and stay on the cutting edge of the concrete industry.
Cobra Concrete isn’t shy about spelling out goals. The outfit’s mission statement plainly states their goal is to “revolutionize the concrete sawing and drilling industry through our innovation and attitude.” The confident concrete organization has earned a tremendous reputation for preparedness and professionalism with major contractors, government agencies, small businesses, and homeowners alike. Their success stems from meeting contemporary challenges with the latest industry equipment, technology, and training. For practical purposes, Cobra Concrete’s services can be broken into three general categories.
When this company formed in the late 1990s, penetrating tough, thick concrete was a labor-intensive and inefficient process. Making rough holes with equipment such as jack hammers, hand-held drills, and makeshift saws resulted in inaccurate cuts that often required patchwork. Those tools are still around, but Cobra Concrete utilizes the latest, most precise, and efficient equipment to get the job done right the first time.
Diamond core drilling tools can bore a hole as small as a ½-inch, or as large as 60 inches. Holes can be made with accuracy through walls, flooring, slabs and at any angle. Contractors that handle plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and concrete construction often prefer to subcontract out these duties to a specialist.
Slab and wall sawing are no longer done by adapting a masonry blade to a carpenter’s tool. Cobra Concrete has invested in precision equipment developed for concrete cutting. Walk behind machines harness the power to slice long, deep trenches through material at depths of 32 inches. Wall sawing tools can hit depths of 36 inches at any angle with today’s equipment is operated by Cobra Concrete’s trained professional technicians.
Hand-held saws are still in the mix. They’re generally used for 6-inch or shorter penetrations in areas that require user flexibility in tight spaces. These saws are designed for slicing through concrete, cinder blocks and hard materials, not 2X4s.
Breaking up material for removal can be a nightmare for contractors. The process tends to be labor intensive, expensive and places workers in high-risk situations. Fortunately, Cobra Concrete has kept pace with the latest technology and assembled a fleet of robotic demolition equipment that can be remotely operated. A technician can manage the precision chisels to crush or separate materials efficiently and out of harm’s way. In confined spaces, electric, fumeless excavators can be deployed.
Geologists and archeologist have been using ground penetrating radar (GPR) since the 1970s. Today’s construction sector faces constant threats from underground tanks, water lines, electrical conduits and other embedded objects. You won’t know what’s hidden beneath the surface unless you look. Having a detailed underground map is imperative for a successful project and worker safety. Cobra Concrete uses high frequency, non-invasive radar to help avoid costly setbacks.
