What Is Core Drilling and When Do You Need It?

May 20, 2025

Core drilling is one of the most precise methods for creating round holes in concrete. Used in residential, commercial, and industrial projects, it allows for access points in thick concrete surfaces without damaging the surrounding structure.

What Is Core Drilling?

Core drilling uses a diamond-tipped cylindrical bit to remove a clean, round section of concrete. It can be performed vertically, horizontally, or overhead and is commonly used on walls, slabs, ceilings, and foundations.

When Should You Use Core Drilling?

  • To install plumbing or electrical conduit
  • For HVAC vents and utility access
  • To extract test samples for structural inspection
  • When placing anchor bolts or structural supports
  • For safe demolition prep or retrofitting
