Clean Openings | Minimal Vibration | Multi-Diameter Capabilities
What Is Core Drilling?
Core drilling uses a diamond-tipped coring bit to cut smooth, circular holes through concrete, block, brick, and other hard materials. This method is non-percussive, reducing cracking and vibration, and is ideal for both horizontal and vertical surfaces. Core sizes typically range from small conduit openings to large-diameter penetrations used for structural or mechanical applications.
Where Core Drilling Is Most Useful
Common Use Cases and Applications
Core drilling supports a wide range of construction, renovation, and utility installation needs. Whether you’re running new services, testing structural components, or creating access points, diamond-core drilling delivers the accuracy and finish quality required for dependable results.
Typical applications include:
- Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing Penetrations — Install pipes, conduits, ducting, and cable pathways.
- Anchor Bolt and Epoxy Dowel Holes — Create precise holes for structural connections.
- HVAC and Ventilation Openings — Form clean penetrations for exhaust, intake, and ducting systems.
- Core Samples for Structural Testing — Extract material samples for engineering evaluation.
- Drainage and Sump Installations — Provide pathways for water flow and utility tie-ins.
- Wall, Floor, and Ceiling Access — Drill openings in various orientations, including overhead and confined spaces.
- Retrofitting & Renovation Work — Add new systems to existing structures without unnecessary demolition.
Our coring equipment handles a wide range of diameters, allowing precise penetration while protecting adjacent surfaces and maintaining project timelines.
