What is Concrete Coring?
Concrete coring is the process of drilling circular holes into concrete surfaces using advanced diamond-tipped coring tools. This technique ensures clean, smooth cuts without compromising the structural integrity of the surrounding material. It’s a non-destructive method, ideal for projects requiring minimal disruption and maximum precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum diameter and depth you can core?
We core holes from as small as 12 mm up to 600 mm in diameter with our standard diamond core bits, and we can drill deeper than a metre using extensions. For larger openings — elevator shafts, stairwells, big duct penetrations — we use stitch coring (overlapping cores) to create openings of virtually any size. Tell us the diameter and depth you need and we will confirm the right setup.
Do you scan for rebar and electrical conduits before coring?
Yes — every coring job starts with concrete scanning. We use ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to locate rebar, post-tension cables, and embedded electrical conduits before the bit ever touches the concrete. This protects the structural integrity of your slab or wall and avoids costly strikes. It is the same scanning technology we offer as a standalone service.
How do you control dust and water during concrete coring?
Diamond coring is a wet process — water cools the bit and suppresses dust — so we contain it carefully with water collection rings, slurry vacuums, and protective sheeting to keep surrounding areas clean and dry. In finished or occupied spaces, we take extra precautions to protect floors, equipment, and furnishings.
How fast can you complete concrete coring work?
Standard cores are often completed same-day or next-day — most residential and light commercial jobs take just a few hours on site. Larger projects with dozens of cores are scheduled in phases around your trades. We also offer 24/7 emergency coring across Greater Vancouver. Call (236) 868-2111 and we will give you a firm timeline with your free quote.
Where do you provide concrete coring services?
We are based in West Vancouver and core concrete throughout Greater Vancouver — Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, Langley, Delta, and surrounding communities. For larger commercial and industrial projects, we travel anywhere in BC.
