Concrete Coring 101: Sizes, Depths, and Applications
Concrete coring creates round penetrations from small anchor holes to large sleeve openings. Common diameters: 2"–4" for plumbing, 4"–6" for sanitary, 8"–14" for structural sleeves. Depth is limited by barrel length and can be extended with extensions. Slab cores often tie into underground rough-ins; wall cores route risers. Always scan before coring on PT decks. Ontime cores walls and slabs across Ontario with slurry control and layout from your drawings.
