Core Drilling: This process is used for the drilling of circular holes in reinforced concrete, precast concrete, asphalt, brick, cinderblock, and other structural materials. Usually, the holes are made for electrical, plumbing, heating, sewer, and sprinkler installations. Other applications include holes to anchor bolts or lifting rods, to place explosive charges, to install load-carrying devices, or for analysis of the structure or rock.

Concrete Slab Cutting: This process is used when reasonably level and flat surfaces have to be cut and includes cutting through reinforced concrete, precast concrete, and other structural materials. These surfaces include floors, roofs, bridge decks, and suspended slabs. The surfaces are usually cut to provide expansion joints, to make openings for ducts, elevators, stairwells, machine pads, trenching, and for demolition purposes.

Concrete Wall Cutting: This process is used for the cutting of openings in vertical surfaces and surfaces with slopes so great that flat saws cannot be used. These surfaces are usually cut to provide for doors, windows, vaults, silos, chests, foundations, ducts or large diameter pipes, or to remove part or all of existing walls.

Asphalt Cutting: This process is usually done for trenching, to provide expansion
joints, to remove damaged pavement sections prior to patching random cracks.
