Concrete Coring
SERVICE DETAIL

Concrete Coring

Diamond core drilling for clean, circular openings—from 1 inch to 60 inches in diameter.

Concrete coring is the precision method for creating clean, circular openings in walls, floors, ceilings, slabs, and structural elements. Using diamond-tipped core bits, we drill accurately sized holes for plumbing, electrical conduit, HVAC penetrations, drainage lines, data cabling, anchor bolts, and structural testing. Our rigs handle reinforced concrete, block, stone, and asphalt with minimal vibration and disruption to surrounding structures.

Applications

Plumbing and drain line penetrations
HVAC ductwork and piping openings
Electrical conduit and data cabling runs
Anchor bolt and dowel holes
Structural concrete testing and sampling
Mechanical room penetrations in high-rises
Parking garage utility installations
Retrofit work in occupied buildings

Project Examples

Downtown High-Rise Mechanical Room

Drilled 200+ cores ranging from 4" to 18" through 14" reinforced slabs for a new HVAC system installation across 30 floors.

Parkade Drainage Retrofit

Cored 8" drainage penetrations through post-tensioned concrete decks at a 4-level underground parking structure, requiring GPR scanning to avoid tendons.

Hospital Equipment Installation

Precision coring for new medical imaging equipment mounting through sensitive structural elements, maintaining strict vibration limits.

Heritage Building Renovation

Carefully cored through 100-year-old concrete foundations to route modern plumbing and electrical without compromising the historic structure.
