Concrete Core Drilling
The concrete core drilling tool or rig is bolted down or anchored to the floor through vacuum pressure or a suction pad. This prevents unnecessary damage to the surrounding areas. The tool is comprised of a steel tube with diamond segments attached to the drilling end and is powered by electricity. High safety standards are as important as a quality finish. Southern Cross Concrete Cutting ensures commitment to this through the use of EPA-compliant wet vac equipment during this process.
