Fiber optic cable installations, data center build-outs, and network infrastructure upgrades require clean penetrations through concrete walls, floors, and foundations for cable routing. REDCORE provides core drilling services for telecommunications contractors, IT infrastructure installers, and data center operators who need precisely sized and positioned holes through concrete for fiber optic cable, copper data cable, and conduit throughout Massachusetts. Our diamond core drills create smooth, round penetrations that protect delicate fiber optic cables from damage during installation and throughout their service life.

Fiber optic and data cable installations demand particular care because the cables are sensitive to sharp bends, compression, and abrasion. A rough or jagged penetration through a concrete wall can damage cable jackets, compress fiber bundles, and degrade signal quality. REDCORE's core-drilled penetrations have smooth interior walls that allow cables to pass through without damage, and the holes are sized precisely to accommodate the specified conduit or cable tray plus any fire stopping materials required by code. We drill penetrations ranging from 2 inches for individual cable conduits to 12 inches or larger for major cable trunk routes between floors and buildings.

Our fiber optic core drilling services serve the growing demand for high-speed network infrastructure across Massachusetts. We work with telecommunications providers installing fiber-to-the-building services, data center operators expanding server facilities, commercial building owners upgrading network backbone infrastructure, and IT contractors running structured cabling through concrete buildings. REDCORE provides the concrete access that modern communications infrastructure requires, with the precision and cleanliness that cable installation demands.

How It Works

1

Cable Route Review

We review the cable routing plan with the telecommunications or IT contractor to confirm all penetration locations, diameters, and fire-rating requirements.

2

Location Marking & Scanning

Drill points are marked on walls and floors. Embedded utilities and rebar are located by scanning to ensure safe drill paths that avoid existing infrastructure.

3

Diamond Core Drilling

Each penetration is drilled to the specified diameter with water-cooled diamond core bits. Holes are drilled cleanly with smooth interior walls suitable for cable routing.

4

Cleanup & Verification

Drilling slurry is cleaned up. All penetrations are verified for size, position, and smoothness. The site is ready for cable installation and fire stopping.
