In today’s world of high-performance buildings and complex infrastructure, precision isn’t a luxury—it’s a
necessity. Nowhere is that more evident than in concrete coring, a specialised technique that allows builders to cut
clean, accurate holes through concrete walls, slabs, and floors without compromising structural integrity.
At Domiark Construction, we understand that precise coring is the backbone of efficient, safe, and modern
construction projects across Canada. Here’s a breakdown of why it matters—and how we do it right.
What Is Concrete Coring?
Concrete coring is a drilling method used to remove cylindrical sections of concrete, typically with the help of
advanced, diamond-tipped core drill bits. It’s an essential process in both new construction and renovation projects,
allowing for the creation of clean, round openings in concrete surfaces.
These holes can range from just a few millimetres to several feet in diameter, depending on the specific project
requirements.
Where Is Core Drilling Typically Used?
Our team at Domiark Construction handles concrete coring for a wide variety of applications, including:
- Utility Access – Running plumbing, electrical, and HVAC lines through concrete.
- Ductwork Installations – Cutting smooth, accurate paths for ventilation systems.
- Anchor Placement – Creating secure anchor points for structural support or equipment.
- Retrofitting and Renovation – Modifying existing structures without demolishing entire slabs or walls.
Each use case demands pinpoint accuracy to ensure that the hole does its job—without weakening the overall
structure.
Why Precision Matters—Especially in Load-Bearing Structures
When it comes to drilling into load-bearing walls, beams, or slabs, there is zero room for error. A misplaced hole or
uneven edge can cause cracks, weaken support systems, or create long-term structural vulnerabilities.
Precision coring ensures:
- Load distribution remains unchanged
- Structural safety is preserved.
- Follow-up installations (like pipes or rebar) fit seamlessly.y
At Domiark, we use state-of-the-art coring equipment and trained professionals to guarantee accuracy down to
the millimetre.
Diamond Coring: Clean, Quiet, and Professional
One of the standout techniques we use is diamond core drilling—and it comes with several distinct advantages:
✅ Dust Control
Diamond drilling produces minimal dust, helping maintain a clean worksite and improving air quality for workers
and occupants—especially crucial in active commercial or residential environments.
✅ Low Noise Levels
Compared to traditional hammer or impact drilling, diamond coring is significantly quieter. This makes it ideal for
hospitals, schools, or occupied buildings where disruption must be kept to a minimum.
✅ Clean, Professional Finish
Diamond bits deliver smooth, burr-free holes, reducing the need for extra finishing and ensuring a precise fit for
pipes, conduits, or anchors.
