How to specify hole size, depth, angle, location, access, and embedded-hazard information for a core-drilling quote.
Use this guide to organize observations and questions before contacting a provider. It is not a diagnosis or a fixed scope of work. Conditions at the location, equipment specifications, safety requirements, local rules, and the provider's inspection can all change the appropriate next step.
Specify every penetration
List each core separately when diameters, depths, elevations, or materials differ. Include the use of the opening so the contractor can identify likely clearance and finish requirements.
- Diameter and quantity
- Material thickness and drilling angle
- Centerline location, elevation, and required tolerance
Write down what you can verify without taking an unsafe action or disassembling equipment. If a detail is unknown, say that directly. A provider can then decide what must be inspected on site and what information can be confirmed before travel or scheduling.
Verify what is inside the concrete
The property owner or project team must address utilities, reinforcement, structural elements, and post-tension systems before drilling.
- Current drawings and field markings
- Scanning scope and responsible party
- Structural approval where the opening affects the assembly
Write down what you can verify without taking an unsafe action or disassembling equipment. If a detail is unknown, say that directly. A provider can then decide what must be inspected on site and what information can be confirmed before travel or scheduling.
Control the work area
Core drilling can produce water, slurry, dust, noise, falling cores, and access restrictions on both sides of the opening.
- Protection below or behind the penetration
- Core capture and disposal plan
- Water collection, electrical supply, and occupied-area controls
