What is concrete coring used for?

Concrete coring cuts a cylindrical opening or recovers a core from concrete or asphalt. Ambient’s published coring services cover pavement, floors, slabs, foundations, walls and barriers for testing, access and engineering or construction projects.

Confirm the opening before cutting

  • Geometry Location, diameter, orientation and expected thickness.
  • Clearance Embedded services, reinforcement and scanning needs.
  • Work area Access, water, slurry control, core handling and restoration.

Pavement & material cores

Recover concrete or asphalt cores in the dimensions specified for the project’s testing or investigation program.

Slabs, walls & foundations

Create project-specified openings in floors, slabs, foundations, walls and barriers, with access and structural constraints identified first.

Utility & HVAC access

Coordinate openings for conduit, pipes and building systems with the project team’s locations and clearance information.

GPR before intrusive work

Ground-penetrating radar can support assessment of reinforcement, cables, conduits and other embedded features before coring. Define the scanning and verification needed for each location; the field scope should not assume every embedded item can be detected.

Samples and openings need different instructions

For testing, specify core diameter, recovery, identification, handling and laboratory handoff. For access openings, specify final dimensions, orientation, edge conditions and any patching or restoration required.

Concrete coring / field applications

The right setup for the surface and access

A pavement core and a wall penetration need different access and work-area planning. Review the position, thickness and purpose of each opening together with scanning, structural direction, water and slurry management, and how the work area will be left.

01 Pavements Concrete and asphalt cores for the specified testing or access purpose.
02 Walls & slabs Openings coordinated with reinforcement, embedded services and project direction.
03 Field completion Agree core handling, cleanup, patching and surface restoration in the scope.

Prepare for mobilization

Provide an opening schedule and site photographs

Dimensions, working space and clearance requirements help define a practical coring setup.

  • Locations and work area

    Marked plans or photographs, working height, access, occupancy, traffic restrictions and available water or power.

  • Coring and scanning scope

    Number of openings, diameters, orientation, material, expected thickness and the scanning or verification required before cutting.

  • Safety and completion

    Site-specific work controls, slurry and water management, handling of cores, sample delivery, patching, restoration and requested schedule.
