Benefits of Core Drilling

February 27, 2024

So you know what core drilling is, but do you understand its true advantages?

This article will focus on some of the many benefits of core drilling in the construction industry, and why you should work with the experts at Alpha Concrete Cutting.

What is Core Drilling?

A more complete definition of what core drilling is and how it is used can be found in this article, but for the sake of this piece, we’ll go through it again briefly.

Core drilling is the process in which drills are used to create holes in concrete. Common reasons why you would invest in core drilling are installing plumbing, installing conduit, improving structural integrity and more.

Advantages of Core Drilling

There are several reasons why construction industry professionals choose to work with professional companies like Alpha Concrete Cutting when they require core drilling. These include (but aren’t limited to):

Expertise

Did you know it’s illegal in Queensland to perform core drilling tasks and services without a licence? This is because it’s a very skilled task, requiring many safety measures and accuracy. Clients can be certain of this when they work with Alpha Concrete Cutting.

Accuracy & Improved Finish


When you’re drilling into concrete, you want to be guaranteed of a quality, accurate result. This is something that can only be achieved by using the right equipment and having the experience to get the job done properly every time.

Energy Efficient

At Alpha Concrete Cutting we have access to only the best and most up to date equipment, which is also much more energy efficient than other models or practices. So, when you choose to work with us, you are effectively choosing a more sustainable, environmentally friendly option.

Saves Time & Money

Compared with other concrete drilling methods out there, our core drilling equipment and operators can help you get the result you’re after much quicker than anticipated.

This in turn, increases productivity on your construction site which leads to more money in the bank and minimal disruption.

Increased Cutting Depth

The latest machinery we have available to our experienced team not only allows for improved accuracy, it also has an increased cutting depth of up to 700mm.

Works on Rough Surfaces

Is your construction site uneven or rough? This is where core drilling from the qualified team at Alpha Concrete Cutting can save the day. Our machinery and staff are capable of completing the job on almost any kind of concrete surface, no matter how rough or wet.

Reduced Vibration

Not upsetting the construction that has already been completed is incredibly important when it comes to core drilling. With reduced vibration, you’ll see almost no evidence of core drilling to the rest of your existing construction, which makes for improved structural integrity.
