   Core Drilling at Publix in Babcock Ranch, Florida

   Before the doors open at the new Publix in Babcock Ranch, Florida, Cougar Cutting is handling details that most shoppers will never see. Our crew is core drilling precise circular openings through the building’s masonry walls as commercial construction moves forward.

   This video offers a closer look at the work behind each opening. From positioning and securing the drilling rig to aligning the bit and carefully advancing through the wall, the process takes preparation, control, and experienced operators. Working in tight conditions along the building’s exterior, our crew brings that attention to every core.

   As part of Cougar Companies, Cougar Cutting provides concrete cutting and core drilling services for commercial construction projects across Southwest Florida. Our work at the Babcock Ranch Publix highlights the skilled people behind the equipment and the precision that helps each stage of construction come together.
