Concrete Core Drilling Brisbane – What You Need to Know

What is concrete core drilling Brisbane?

concrete core drilling Brisbane is the process of drilling clean, circular-shaped holes into any concrete surface. These can be either concrete structures, floors, or walls. The most popular equipment used by contractors for doing this type of drilling is called a diamond core cutting drill. Using this tool, a trained operator can drill perfectly-round holes into either horizontal or vertical concrete surfaces. Depending on the equipment used, holes as small as 10mm wide to as big as 1.8 meters can be cleanly cut using this method.

A core cutting drill is a hollow, cylindrical metal drill with diamond or carbide coating on the drill tips. The equipment includes the motor, handle, and the drill bits of different sizes. The big difference between normal drills and a core drill is that the core drill extracts a sample or “core” from the concrete when it is done. An actual solid pellet of concrete is extracted from the hole after the drilling is finished, as opposed to just breaking up or fragmentizing the concrete to create a hole. This process allows the contractor to produce a neat hole with minimal mess or debris.

What is the Purpose of concrete core drilling Brisbane?

Concrete core drilling is a common task that is usually required in any construction project. It’s recognized as the fastest and cleanest way to drill holes in concrete surfaces and structures, and as such, it is typically listed by contractors as part of their services when doing a job.

Generally, concrete core drilling is required before installing utility lines such as electrical wiring, HVAC ducting, water pipes, phone lines, computer lines, etc. It allows utilities to be installed behind the walls and beneath floors in a faster and more efficient manner. A lot of plumbers and electricians nowadays carry small concrete core drill tools with them to help make their jobs easier. For bigger jobs, construction companies will use electric or hydraulic drilling equipment.

Aside from facilitating the installation of utilities, other construction projects also need core drilling to be done for removing a huge section of concrete. Normally, this technique is used when all other methods of cutting into the concrete fail or cannot be used, for any number of reasons. For this purpose, small circular holes are drilled in succession, intersecting each other, until the block of concrete can be removed. This type of job is called line drilling or line coring.
