WHATCONCRETECORE DRILLINGINVOLVES

It is the technique of drilling perfectly circular holes in concrete walls, ceilings, floors, and other constructions that are known as concrete core drilling. This fine-tunes the concrete structure to accommodate modern conveniences such as phone lines, plumbing, HVAC ductwork, and sprinkler systems.

Diamond core drills for concrete are the most frequently used tool for this process. On the drilling end, the core drill bit is typically made of a steel tube impregnated with diamond segments. The concrete coring drill is secured to the wall or floor in question using the rotating shaft of a concrete core drilling machine. Once the drilling is complete, a solid cylindrical concrete core, or "slug," is removed from the hole.
