Core Rig Drill
All-Material Core Drilling Solution: From Clay to Concrete in Any Environment
Professional coring machines deliver precision drilling capabilities specifically engineered for the demanding realities of underground infrastructure work. These heavy-duty, semi-automatic units provide lightweight portability while maintaining the stability needed for clean, accurate cuts in buried or above-ground pipes. With interchangeable core bits capable of drilling holes from 1.5" to 9" in diameter, operators can tackle diverse pipe materials including vitrified clay, concrete, ductile iron, cast iron, C-900, HOBAS, and PVC/HDPE systems using a single versatile machine.
Built to respect both jobsite safety and structural integrity, these coring machines address the reality that every trench presents different challenges—from compacted fill and loose sand to unstable walls and groundwater conditions. The self-centering frame accommodates pipes with minimum diameters of 6 inches and greater, while the built-in mass provides natural stability that reduces vibration, maintains straight tracking, and preserves pipe wall integrity. Whether cutting into buried infrastructure or new segments on the surface, these machines deliver the steady torque and true alignment essential for creating clean holes that serve as the foundation for reliable Tap-N-Tee lateral connections and other critical infrastructure taps.
