At Canadian Cutting and Coring, total service gives us the edge over our competition. Canadian-owned and operated, we have served the needs of the concrete drilling and sawing industry since 1964.

Canadian Cutting and Coring’s expertise also includes concrete walls, where we core round holes to facilitate the addition of piping or ventilation, cut window or door openings, and utilize the latest, no-radiation technology – ground penetrating radar (GPR) – to scan inside concrete and detect existing conduits, cables, and pipes prior to drilling and sawing.

With offices located throughout southern Ontario, we're ideally situated to provide our services quickly and efficiently.

Small holes, large holes, many holes or just a few, at Canadian Cutting and Coring, we have core bits up to and including 42" in diameter and we're capable of drilling to any depth. For maximum efficiency, each of our trucks is equipped with its own water and power supply.

Canadian Cutting and Coring has electric saws to make cuts up to 18" deep in concrete floors. Also, like our core drilling trucks, each of our concrete sawing service vehicles are also self-sufficient with built-in generators and their own on-board water supply.

In addition to a complete range of core drilling and sawing services, Canadian Cutting and Coring also offers X-ray and the latest in detection technology; ground penetrating radar system that eliminates costly repairs by accurately detecting embedded objects in slabs and walls prior to core drilling and sawing. Best of all, because the ground penetrating radar system emits zero radiation, detection and location can be performed safely; anywhere, anytime; quietly and efficiently.
