What is concrete core drilling?


Concrete core drilling describes the process of creating an opening through concrete or another similar material. Specially trained crews use precise equipment to drill holes to any depth that are a quarter-inch to 66 inches in diameter. Many times these cuts have to be done in hard-to-reach areas and precise locations. 

 

Professional crews like those working for KC Coring and Cutting can drill holes inside or outside, above or below ground, and create access to both sides. We can even cut or drill concrete underwater.
