Core Drilling FAQ
Q: What materials can you core drill through?
A. Our core drilling equipment is capable of drilling through concrete slabs, brick walls, block, plaster, steel beams, and reinforced or post-tensioned structures. We use professional-grade drills designed for high accuracy and clean results across a wide range of materials.
Q: What diameter holes can you drill?
A. We offer both small and large-diameter core drilling, accommodating everything from small conduit penetrations to large openings for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations. Hole size depends on the requirements of the system being installed.
Q: Is core drilling dusty or messy?
A. No. Our core drilling process is water-cooled, which captures dust and debris during drilling. This keeps the work area significantly cleaner and reduces airborne particles, making it safer for workers and occupants—especially in active facilities.
Q: What are the main applications for core drilling?
A. Core drilling is used for plumbing lines, HVAC penetrations, electrical conduit routing, fire protection piping, anchor bolts, dowel bars, and structural testing. It’s also used to take concrete samples for material analysis during engineering assessments.
Q: Can you core drill in active or sensitive facilities?
A. Yes. We routinely perform core drilling in active hospitals, commercial buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. Our crews focus on containment, safety, and minimizing disruption so other trades and occupants can continue working.
