Core-drill route selector

Apply specialist-hazard suppression first. Reinforced concrete with wet permitted: ≤162 mm → provisional stand-based wet route; >162 to 500 mm → provisional heavy stand route. Reinforced concrete with wet prohibited/unknown → no generic route. Masonry dry ≤250 mm → manufacturer-specific dry route. Above 500 mm or unknown material → specialist route/no route.

Worked example: 180 × 350 mm reinforced concrete, wet permitted → provisional heavy stand-system route, while structural opening, reinforcement/services scan, exact capacities, working length, anchoring, breakthrough and water/slurry controls remain required.
