EireSafe Ireland's Facility & Security Partner
Core Drilling

Precision Core
Drilling. Any Slab.

Diamond core drilling through concrete, block and stone for bollards, posts, ducts, pipes and service penetrations. Wet or dry, 12mm to 400mm, no structural damage and no shattered slabs - by insured, certified Irish crews.

Clean Holes.
No Collateral Damage.

Breakers crack slabs and buckle rebar. Diamond core drilling cuts a clean, precise hole through the thickest slab - the only professional way to penetrate reinforced concrete without weakening the structure around it.

12mm - 400mm

From small duct routes to full-size service penetrations and bollard handles in one pass.

Through Anything

Reinforced concrete, block, stone, brick and precast panels - wet or dry methods.

No Vibration Damage

Diamond cutting means no hammering: cracking, dust and noise stay controlled.

Jobsite-Ready

Stands, slurry control and vacuum systems - your site stays clean and safe throughout.

One Call.
Every Penetration.

Everything below is a routine EireSafe job - domestic or commercial, one hole or one hundred:

Bollard & Post Install

Gate & Fence Posts

Automated gates, railings and fence posts cored through existing walls and slabs without weakening them.

Service Penetrations

Ducts, pipework, drainage, gas, electrical and telecom routes through floors, walls and roofs.

Anchors & Access Control

Before You Book.

How deep and how wide can you drill?

Standard diamond bits run from 12mm to 400mm diameter; depth is effectively unlimited using barrel extensions and vacuum anchors. Most jobs finish in hours.

Is core drilling loud?

Diamond drilling is typically quiet compared to breakers - no hammering, no cracking. Wet rigs run well under construction-site noise limits, so indoor plant-room work stays neighbourly.

Will it crack my slab?

That's the point of diamond coring: no percussion, no vibration cracking. Clean-cut holes with the surrounding structure untouched.

Domestic jobs?

Yes - bollards, gate posts and anchor installs for homes are a large share of our work. One hole is still worth doing right.
