Reasons to Hire a Professional Core Drilling Company

Whether you are working on a remodeling project or new construction, there’s a good chance you will need to get through a slab of concrete to install utility or plumbing lines or for some other purpose.

The temptation could be to rent the equipment and turn the job over to one of your trusted employees, but the safer bet would be to call on the services of concrete coring company drilling contractors.

Concrete core drilling is a precise way of creating holes through concrete, from 1/2″ to 60″ in diameter, for a number of applications, including but not limited to:

• Plumbing, including installation of water or gas lines plus sewage and draining needs
• Electrical
• HVAC
• Telecommunications lines
• Anchor bolts
• Concrete sample analysis

Diamond core drilling equipment is designed to be used on various construction materials, including concrete, precast concrete, asphalt, brick, cinder block and tile. Drilling also can be done down, sideways or even up.

Concrete drilling can save time and money over having to break out sections of concrete to create space for installation of plumbing or sewer lines, electrical conduits, etc.

Concrete coring company drilling contractors have the specialty equipment available to meet whatever your drilling needs, whether it be larger spaces for HVAC ductwork or smaller holes for telecommunications lines. By drilling holes to the exact size to meet your needs, you save money and time over patching, as well.

But the biggest advantage of hiring a core drilling contractor is the safety the company can provide. A contractors’ employees will have hours of training on each piece of equipment plus years of experience dealing with various grades of concrete and other construction materials. Maybe you already know what lies under or inside the concrete you need to drill through, but if previous electrical conduit or gas lines were laid into the concrete, you do not want your workers to uncover this surprise while drilling. Qualified concrete coring company drilling contractors will have access to ground penetrating radar so that before drilling begins, they can ensure the area is safe or can be made safe by locating and disconnecting live wire or gas lines.

Accurate measuring and drilling of holes also saves time and money over having to re-drill and patch mistakes.

Experienced core drilling workers also will be aware of various construction materials and will adapt their drill bits and equipment to match. They will be able to detect changes in material as they are drilling and adapt quickly so the drilling does not cause damage or harm structural integrity.
