I'd make sure the holes are lined with something to buffer the concrete.  I've been in buildings where PVC pipe was fitted into the holes and stuck out about 2-3 inches on both sides.  I know this cuts down on overall diameter, but it saves on cables getting "sawed" when rubbing against the concrete.

Side note, for those long runs, get a hand held crossbow with blunt tips.  It's fun and fast!

**OOPS!  Sorry, didn't read the full post and just caught that you can't use PVC.  Hmmm,  That is an odd one.  The only thing I can think of, and I don't know the code to this, is a pour-able epoxy that would line the hole.  Pour it and let it harden and you have your sleeve.
