Clean Penetrations
Core Drilling
Core drilling produces round openings in concrete for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, fire protection, anchoring, and other trade coordination work where placement matters.
Overview
Service BriefPrecision round openings for MEP routing, anchoring, and trade coordination.
Core drilling is one of the most common concrete modification services, but accuracy is everything. The hole has to land in the right place, clear the embed conditions, and arrive ready for the trade that depends on it.
Typical Uses
Field ApplicationsHVAC, plumbing, electrical, and fire protection penetrations
Ventilation and waste line openings
Anchor and dowel drilling where the application calls for coring
Stitch drilling for controlled removal or specialty cuts
Angle drilling where routing or access requires it
Utility and systems upgrades in active buildings
Process
01
Verify the exact location
Drawings help, but real field conditions, dimensions, and embed risks still need to be checked before drilling starts.
02
Set the rig for the condition
Core drilling setup changes depending on size, angle, access, and whether the work is in a wall, slab, deck, or roof.
03
Deliver a clean usable opening
The goal is a correctly placed penetration that is ready for sleeve, conduit, pipe, ventilation, or anchor work without extra correction.
Deliverables
Penetrations aligned to field dimensions and scope requirements
Diameter and angle matched to the system being installed
Cleaner openings with less surrounding disruption
Better readiness for sleeves, piping, conduit, or duct routing
A work area protected from unnecessary collateral damage
