Concrete Core Drilling

47 Years Strong  •  Safety Driven  •  Built on Integrity

Concrete core drilling involves removing a cylindrical portion of material from a concrete slab, wall or ceiling using a diamond-tipped core bit mounted on a specialized coring rig. The process allows for precise holes of any diameter and depth without the vibration, damage or disruption often associated with jackhammers or impact tools. Because the surrounding structure remains intact, core drilling is the preferred method for projects in active buildings, facilities under renovation and highly technical environments. 

Core Drilling Applications We Handle

Our core drilling services cover a broad range of applications across commercial, industrial and municipal projects in the Kansas City region:


  • Installing plumbing, mechanical or electrical systems through slabs or walls.
  • Creating sleeves and anchor bolt openings for HVAC units and structural supports.
  • Producing inspection cores for material testing or quality assurance.
  • Modifying existing structures with minimal disruption to occupants or adjacent trades.
  • Working in occupied buildings, hospitals, schools or high-rise environments where precision and cleanliness matter.

Concrete core drilling is a highly effective way to create necessary openings for plumbing, HVAC, sprinkler, or electrical systems. At KC Coring & Cutting, our inspectors are highly trained and OSHA certified and will use reliable, productive equipment to safely drill holes to any depth that are a quarter-inch to 66 inches in diameter. A Circular Wire saw can also be used for special circumstances to drill any size or depth holes, as well as create access to both sides.


With our top of the line concrete drilling equipment, no job is too big or too small. Our trained crew can drill holes inside or outside, above or below ground, and underwater!
