When is concrete core drilling used?
Concrete core drilling is the process of using a specialised diamond-tipped core drill to cut perfectly round holes in hard materials such as concrete, brick, stone, bitumen, or masonry. These holes can range from 18mm to 650mm in diameter and are drilled to any depth required for your project.
This non-destructive technique provides clean, accurate openings without cracking or damaging surrounding structures — ideal for precise installations and structural modifications.
Concrete core drilling is used whenever there’s a need to create circular openings for installations, testing, or structural access.
Common applications include:
- Plumbing and drainage – holes for water, sewer, or stormwater pipes
- Electrical and communication conduits – pathways for wiring, cabling, or junction boxes
- HVAC and air conditioning – vents and core holes for split systems or ducting
- Building and engineering works – anchor bolts, dowels, or load testing
- Pest control and inspection holes – safe, clean access for treatment systems
- Core sampling – extracting material for structural or quality testing
We can core drill vertically, horizontally, or at custom angles to suit your site conditions and project specifications.
Our Equipment and Process
To ensure precision and cleanliness, Concrete Busters uses the latest Husqvarna core drilling machines fitted with high-performance diamond bits.
Our process includes:
- Site setup – assessing access, marking drilling locations, and isolating work areas
- Precision drilling – creating smooth, clean openings without vibration or cracking
- Slurry containment – using our own slurry catcher system to prevent mess and protect work areas
- Waste cleanup and disposal – leaving the site neat, safe, and ready for use
Our fully mobile service vans include onboard power, pumps, and water supply, meaning we can operate independently even on sites without utilities.
