Concrete Drilling FAQs

What is core drilling?

Core drilling is a method of drilling that uses a rotating drill bit to remove a cylindrically shaped core of material from a workpiece. It can be done on residential, commercial or industrial projects such as repairs, renovations, rebuilding or new construction.

What are typical applications for concrete drilling?

Core drilling is commonly used in construction and mining applications to create holes for pipes, conduits, and other objects. It can also be used for more precision drilling applications, such as creating holes for sampling or testing cores. Our concrete drilling services can benefit residential, commercial and industrial projects.

What are the benefits of core drilling over other methods?

Core drilling generally provides a more accurate and precise hole than other methods, allowing a precise cut of sample material, which is helpful for testing and analysis.

When do I need the core drilled?

Create new openings for plumbing or electrical lines.
Enlarging existing openings for windows or doors.
Install supports for a new structure may even be necessary.

Although concrete jobs like cutting and drilling are not the types of projects you frequently do, you want to ensure that everything runs smoothly for your benefit.
