What is concrete coring?
Concrete coring makes openings in concrete floor slabs, walls, ceilings, and other surfaces. The process starts with highly-trained, OSHA-certified workers. They use specialized and well-maintained equipment to drill holes to any depth that are a quarter-inch to 66 inches in diameter. Special equipment can also be used to create access to both sides.
Concrete drilling can be done in new construction and renovation projects. The concrete coring equipment can be used in homes, businesses, on highways, and more. Concrete cutting can be done inside or outside, above ground or below ground. It can even be done underwater.
