Generally, core drilling is the process of removing a cylinder of material using a hollow cylindrical drill bit. Core drills are used in construction, mining, geotechnical engineering and research. Core drills are used not only to drill holes in material, but also to extract material so that it can be inspected. A core drill consists of three main parts, including the motor, handle, and bit.
Concrete core drilling is a process used by the construction industry to drill holes in concrete structures, floors, walls or ceilings.
Some applications of concrete core drilling include the installation of:
HVAC Ducts
telephone line
plumbing
Automatic sprinkler system
reinforcements
tunnel
assembly line
PARKING LOT
utility hole
manhole
The most common areas of construction that may require core drilling include municipal projects, interior renovations, new apartment buildings and bridge renovations, as well as many other commercial or industrial projects.
Concrete core drilling requires diamond concrete drill bits. The bits of these tools are essentially steel pipes impregnated with industrial diamond chips. The drill is mounted on the shaft of the drilling machine, which is then attached to the structure you want to drill.
Once the core drill has completed the drilling process, there will be a "block" of concrete inside the drill bit - the core - that can be removed from the hole. This is achieved through the drill's hollow center, so it retains the metal slug in the designated area until it is removed. Often the core or slug can be inspected to assess the stability or strength of the structure.
In addition to concrete, core drills can cut through several other materials, including tile, limestone, rock, granite, fiberglass, and even ice.
1. Prepare the core drill and job site
Before actually operating a core drill, it is important to prepare the job site and make sure the drill rig is ready for use. You will want to:
Check the alignment and possible constraints of moving parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect the operation of the core drill. Do not use the core drill if it shows any signs of damage.
Read and fully understand the operator's manual.
Check the flow and pressure output of the power supply against the requirements of the core drill.
Check for live wires near the job site or embedded in the material being drilled.
If drilling through a wall, check the sides for obstructions.
Protect all persons and materials beneath the work area before drilling through the floor. The core is usually dropped from the drill bit when drilling is complete.
Make sure all personnel use appropriate safety equipment.
Clear work area of all unauthorized persons. Barricade or secure the area to prevent personal injury.
2. Anchor core drill
Core drills can often be bolted or ceiling jacked to the floor or bolted to the wall.
Measure the distance from the center of the foundation bolt groove to the center of the drill shaft.
From the center mark of the hole in the floor to be drilled to where the anchor bolt holes will be drilled.
Drill holes and set anchor bolts. Then place the core drill over the anchor hole and hand tighten the bolt.
Secure the core drill by tightening the anchor bolts.
