In the world of construction, concrete core drilling is an essential service. Drilling core holes is required for everything from building sewer systems to running telephone lines to structural testing. Coring is used in common residential and commercial applications for installation of HVAC systems, drainage, electrical and more. 

​

Core drilling is necessary whenever a hole is required - whether that is on a floor, celling, door, foundation, or even a manhole in the street.

What is Concrete Coring? 

 

Concrete coring is the process of drilling perfectly round holes through hard structures such as concrete walls. It is the go-to concrete drilling technique when a precise circular penetration is needed. 

​

With coring, holes up to 60" in diameter can be drilled to virtually any depth. It can be done in slabs and walls, on any angle. Vertical, horizontal, and even upside down! Electric or hydraulic drilling rigs can be used for drilling in sensitive locations or confined spaces.

What are the Advantages of Diamond Core Drilling? 

 

Diamond core drilling, named after its diamond bit, is an efficient and accurate method of drilling a wide variety of hard materials—including, but not limited to, asphalt, masonry, and steel—without vibration. No vibration ensures that nearby structures are not damaged in the coring and drilling process. This dust-free, noise-free system makes diamond core drilling the technique of choice for environmentally conscious concrete contractors.

 

Diamond Stich Drilling 

 

Stitch drilling is a common technique used to make non-standard shaped and sized holes, when standard cutting equipment is not suited for the job. This technique is performed by coring a series of overlapping holes, allowing for one large segment to be removed. Stitch drilling is often the answer when dealing with relatively thick slabs or walls, or when the structural integrity of the purposed opening cannot be compromised.
