Core Drilling Services

We specialize in precision concrete core drilling, delivering clean, smooth holes with diameters ranging from as small as 1/4 inch to a substantial 53 inches. Our advanced techniques ensure minimal spalling and optimal edge integrity, accommodating a wide spectrum of project specifications. No matter what your project requirements, we can core holes to virtually any depth and angle. Need a unique size? Special diameter bits are available upon request to ensure your specifications are met.

Our technical proficiency encompasses highly complex core drilling operations, such as executing 3-inch diameter bores to depths ranging from 83 to 101 feet through reinforced bridge piles for structural integrity verification, as well as 18-inch diameter penetrations extending 50 feet deep for geotechnical laboratory analysis. We develop and implement tailored methodologies to accommodate non-standard depths and angular orientations, drawing on advanced expertise to address the most technically demanding project specifications.

We deploy both electrically powered and hydraulically operated core drilling systems, selecting equipment configurations that precisely align with project-specific requirements and site constraints. Our operational experience includes diverse environments such as reinforced concrete culverts, municipal wastewater treatment facilities, bridge handrail installations, and subterranean water conveyance tunnels.

Our core drilling services facilitate the creation of accurately dimensioned apertures within concrete slabs, vertical walls, masonry block assemblies, elevator shafts, and stairwells, supporting both new construction and adaptive reuse within existing structures. This process is integral for establishing dedicated pathways to accommodate mechanical, plumbing, HVAC ductwork, electrical conduit, and similar utilities. Upon completion, the resulting penetrations provide unobtrusive, code-compliant routes for essential building services throughout the property.

Anchor Bolt Installation Services

Holes Incorporated provides professional anchor bolt installation for commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects requiring secure, reliable fastening solutions. Our trained technicians install both Hilti anchor bolts and Drillco Maxi-Bolts, selecting the best application based on project requirements, substrate conditions, load needs, and installation timeline.

Hilti anchor bolts

Hilti anchor bolts are installed using a two-part epoxy system designed for core-drilled holes. After the hole is drilled and thoroughly cleaned, the anchor is set according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Once the epoxy has fully cured, the anchor is ready for use, with cure times varying depending on the epoxy product and jobsite conditions.

Drillco Maxi-Bolts

Drillco Maxi-Bolts are mechanical anchor bolts installed in bell-bottom cored holes. This method provides a strong mechanical connection and can be set immediately after the drilling and belling process, eliminating epoxy cure time and helping keep fast-moving projects on schedule.
Whether your project calls for epoxy-set anchors or mechanical anchoring systems, Holes Incorporated can help determine the right solution for your application and complete the installation with precision, safety, and attention to detail.

Harbor Bridge Corpus Christi

Our team was commissioned for the Harbor Bridge Project in Corpus Christi to perform precision core drilling for the installation of new roadway signage. We executed 200 cores at 1 1/8” diameter, with hole depths ranging from 6” to 11”, utilizing advanced drilling equipment designed for accuracy and efficiency. The scope required elevated operations at heights reaching 150 feet and extended across several miles of bridge structure. Leveraging our expertise in high-altitude and large-scale infrastructure projects, we successfully completed the coring tasks while adhering to stringent safety protocols and project specifications.
