Core drilling, or concrete coring, uses a hollow, diamond-tipped bit to bore a clean, round hole straight through concrete. Spitellie Concrete Sawing does core drilling across Denver and the metro area from our base in Wheat Ridge, as a family business that has been cutting concrete since 1980.
What Core Drilling Is For
- Penetrations for plumbing, electrical and HVAC lines through walls and slabs
- Utility penetrations, where a pipe or conduit has to pass through existing concrete
- Round holes in a slab that is being cut and lifted, like the finished cut in the photos below
- Spots where a track saw won't fit, since a core drill can work horizontally, vertically or overhead
What to Have Ready When You Call
The size of the hole, how many, what they go through and where the job is. Core bits come in a wide range of sizes, so tell us what the plan calls for and Michael will get back to you with a free estimate.
Round Hole or Square Opening?
A round penetration is core drilling. A doorway, window or duct opening with straight edges is wall sawing. Some jobs need both, and we run both. Our article How to Cut a Hole in a Concrete Wall explains the difference.
Who We Cut For
Most of our work is commercial and utility, for contractors and subcontractors, and we cut for homeowners too. We're based in Wheat Ridge and work across the Denver metro; outlying areas such as Fort Collins may carry a trip charge. Call 303-425-1025 any time.
