Water on the job site is a big headache, and water mitigation is an unwelcome expense.

The Hole Solution^TM is the industry’s only core hole cover with a watertight seal that keeps water out of open holes during construction and meets OSHA safety requirements for covering holes.

"every floor hole into which a person can accidentally walk shall be guarded by either: (i) a standard railing with standard toeboard on all exposed sites, or a floor hole cover of standard strength and construction.  While the cover is not in place, the floor hole shall be proteced by a cover that leaves no openings more than 1 inch wide.  The cover shall be securely held in place to prevent tools or materials from failing through."  OSHA 29 CFR, 1910.23 (a) (8)

Water Mitigation – A Costly Problem

Uncovered (or inadequately covered) core holes allow rain water to cascade throughout the building. This nuisance creates unsafe conditions, damages materials and slows progress on the job. Eventually, trapped water must be pumped out – an expensive and time-consuming process.    

Trades know that the safer, cleaner, and more organized the job site is, the better the project goes for all. The Hole Solution is ready and able to do its part by keeping the slabs dry and the crews safe.

Safety Accidents – An Unfortunate and Costly problem

Slips, trips and falls on level surfaces account for 12% of total workers compensation claims. The Hole Solution is specifically designed to help workers avoid unnecessary injury. Its unique domed profile provides a superior alternative to plywood by eliminating the “trip edge”. The individual unit size installs quickly, and stays firmly in place- no more going back to recover holes.

An Innovative Solution

OSHA requires covers on cored holes in construction. On many job sites, this requirement is met by covering the hole with a piece of plywood – an unsafe, inadequate and unreliable solution.

The Hole Solution:

• provides a cleaner, neater, safer way to plug holes
• saves time and money with quick installation
• prevents water from passing through floors
• protects on-site workers from a tripping hazard
• fits securely and stays solidly in place

The Hole Solution's unique dome profile has many benefits:

• minimizes tripping hazards
• distributes structural capacity evenly, regardless of the diameter
• allows holes as close as 2 inches apart to be covered
• fits securely and stays solidly in place
• optimizes material usage

Specifications:

• Nominal Hole Size- 4 inches diameter
• Color- Fluorescent yellow
• Installation- No tools needed! Simply press fit into hole until underside of rim is flush with floor.
• Removal- Pry up with screwdriver (or similar tool) using the two slots on the underside of rim.
• Temperature Range- -20º Fahrenheit to 120º Fahrenheit
• Loads- Safety factor >4 for a 150 psf load.
• Safety factor >2 for a 250 pound load at the center.

Half Case- Includes 12 Units

Made in the U.S.A.
