Core Drilling

Core drilling, also known as concrete core drilling or core cutting, is a method used in construction and engineering to create precise, circular holes in various hard materials, such as concrete, masonry, asphalt, or stone. This process involves the use of a specialized tool called a core drill or core drill rig. Core drilling is commonly employed for a variety of purposes, including installing utility passages, creating openings for electrical and plumbing installations, and collecting samples.

Ways we put core drills to use:

  • Creating holes for electrical wiring, plumbing, or air-conditioning conduit in concrete walls or floors
  • Removing large concrete sections in hard-to-access areas through stitch drilling
  • Gaining access through reinforced concrete, stone, brick, or masonry in construction or renovation projects

Benefits of core drilling:

  • Delivers precise holes at the correct width and depth
  • Capable of stitch drilling for removing large concrete sections in challenging areas
  • Ensures clean cuts without overcutting, preserving structural integrity
  • Works well in confined spaces or when space is limited
