Core Drilling
Trusted Cutting Expertise
Core drilling uses diamond-tipped core bits to cut precise circular openings in concrete, brick, stone, asphalt, and other aggregates. This method is ideal for creating accurate penetrations without disrupting surrounding structure, even in occupied or sensitive work environments.
Precision Holes | Clean Cuts | Minimal Disruption
What Is Core Drilling?
Core drilling is used when clean, perfectly round openings are required through concrete or other aggregates. Holes can be drilled plumb, level, angled, or overhead depending on project needs. This method supports new construction, renovations, and interior work where noise control, dust control, and accuracy matter. Taylor’s can core drill from 1″ up to 36″ in diameter — contact us in advance for larger requests.
Where Core Drilling Is Most Effective
Common Use Cases and Applications
Core drilling is used across commercial, industrial, municipal, and institutional work. It’s ideal for penetrating structural material safely while maintaining integrity around the opening.
The main use cases for core drilling include:
- Routing cables, phone, and fiber optic lines
- Plumbing penetrations and drain openings
- Electrical conduit openings
- HVAC openings for vents and equipment
- Installing anchoring bolts and dowel bars
- Sampling and aggregate analysis
- Creating perfectly round holes without overcuts
