Concrete Drilling Services

Concrete drilling is the process of creating precise openings through reinforced concrete, brickwork, blockwork and masonry using specialist drilling techniques. Depending on the project requirements, this may involve diamond core drilling, percussion drilling or stitch drilling.

The three main concrete drilling methods are diamond core drilling, percussion drilling and stitch drilling. Each method is suited to different applications depending on the material, reinforcement, access and type of opening required.

The most suitable drilling method depends on the project. Diamond core drilling is ideal for precise circular holes, percussion drilling is best for high-volume drilling where reinforced steel is not present, while stitch drilling is used to create square or irregular structural openings.

Concrete drilling can be carried out through reinforced concrete, brickwork, blockwork, masonry, natural stone and many other construction materials using specialist drilling equipment.
