Core drilling

Use core drilling to drill perfect holes and get samples for structural review.

What's the problem?

Do you need an a core sample of your concrete? Use core drilling to obtain core samples for studies or perfect holes for new utility installations.

Core drilling illustration

We start by determining and mapping the presence of embedded utilities and subsurface structures prior to core drilling.

Electromagnetic sweeps and GPR concrete scans are conducted to detect live lines and reinforcement. Conduits and reinforcement must be marked to prevent any outages, injuries, and costly damages.

Core drilling is important for structural analysis and the evaluation of existing buildings for strength and integrity.

Our team can core drill holes as small as 1.5" and as large as 18" in both floors and walls, leaving you with core samples for further lab investigations and holes for installations.

FAQs

When is core drilling needed?

Trenchless sectional point repair information

Core drilling is often used to provide a core sample that can be studied for composition, strength, structure, and quality.

It can also be used for clean cylindral cuts through walls and floors for new installations within concrete building structures.

How do you prepare for core drilling?

Trenchless sectional point repair information

Before core drilling, it's recommended to use ground penetrating radar to determine the existence of utilities, reinforcement, and voids underneath the slab to ensure you are drilling in the perfect location.

Our team at Trinity Subsurface provides ground penetrating radar scanning services to examine what's underneath the surface or within a structure.

Does Trinity Subsurface provide core sample studies?

Trenchless sectional point repair information

Trinity does not perform direct laboratory testing or geological studies on core drill samples. Our team can recommend companies to provide core sample information from drilling if needed.
