Technical Deliverables & Scope

Pre-Pour Slab Sleeve Layouts

Dimensioned penetration drawings with Trimble RTS / total station coordinate points for fast-track site layout.

Wall & Core Opening Schedules

Exact opening clearances calculated for duct flanges, pipe insulation, acoustic lagging, and structural buffers.

SEM Structural Sign-Off Sheets

Combined Services & Structural aperture drawings prepared for structural consultant and engineer sign-off.

Tested Firestop Collar Coordination

Ensuring code-compliant annular clearances for Hilti, Rockwool, and tested passive fire protection systems.

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

How do you determine sleeve sizing and wall opening dimensions? +

We calculate required aperture dimensions based on outside pipe/duct diameters plus thermal insulation thickness, acoustic lagging, and manufacturer-tested firestop annular space requirements.

Can you provide coordinate points for robotic layout stations? +

Yes. We export precise CSV/DXF point coordinate lists formatted for Trimble RTS, Leica iCON, or Hilti total stations for one-person pre-pour deck layout.

How fast can you deliver penetration drawings for an upcoming concrete pour? +

We recognize that pour dates are rigid. We provide prioritized 48-hour turnarounds for critical slab and deck sleeve packages to prevent project delays.
