Abstract: Advanced masonry coring systems for coring and grouting masonry walls are disclosed in this patent. The systems include rotating machinery and a drill column in the form of a cylindrical double-piped string of pipe sections, rotating a cylindrical drill body. The drill body mounts cutting end faces having alternative means of employing carbide or diamond cutting and/or pulverizing elements. The double drill pipe weight is made workable through new aerospace composite fabrication. The double pipe permits more efficient routing of air and removal of drill cuttings. Advancement in various system components and means of placing reinforcement into walls is disclosed. Further disclosure is included of advanced means of optimizing resin grouting materials and procedures to fill the wall cavities created by the core drill, integrating the reinforcement into the walls.

Abstract: A masonry coring system for drilling vertical holes in a masonry wall comprises a drill bit in the form of a thin-walled cylinder having a cutting end face, a plurality of cutting elements fastened to the cutting end face, and a core breaker located within the interior of the cylinder. The coring system further comprises a driver plate fastened to the drill bit opposite the cutting end face, a driver shaft having a small axial hole therein fastened to the upper surface of the driver plate, a hydraulic motor to rotate the driver shaft, a non-rotating plastic pipe slightly larger than and surrounding the driver shaft, the plastic pipe resting on the driver plate and containing a plurality of holes located at the end near the driver plate. An air compressor forces compressed air through the axial hole in the driver shaft. An evacuation system withdraws the drilling dust through the annulus between the driver shaft and pipe and into a dust collector.
