One-Stop Pole Installation Including Core Drilling
Installing a new private power pole often requires core drilling through rock shelf, existing concrete slabs, footpaths, or basement slabs where a standard auger cannot reach the correct depth. High Demand Electrical offers professional core drilling as part of our private pole installation service, removing the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors.

Why Standard Augering Often Doesn’t Work in Sydney
A standard auger works well in open soil, but a large share of Sydney properties sit on sandstone shelf, feature concrete driveways and footpaths, or have basement slabs in the way of the ideal pole location. Core drilling uses a diamond-tipped cylindrical bit to bore a precise hole through these hard surfaces without disturbing the surrounding structure — the only reliable way to get a compliant footing depth on these sites.

By ensuring your property is inspected by High Demand Electrical, you are taking a significant step towards securing its safety and enhancing its efficiency. Reach out today to learn more about how we can assist you in maintaining a safe and compliant electrical environment.
Core drilling for power poles involves boring a precise hole through concrete, rock, or other hard surfaces to create the foundation necessary for a new private power pole. It is required when the ground conditions at the installation site are unsuitable for standard augering methods — typically in urban Sydney properties where concrete driveways, footpaths, or compacted rock are present. Core drilling ensures the pole base is correctly set to meet network and structural requirements.
No. Core drilling for power pole installations must be carried out by a Level 2 ASP accredited electrician or in conjunction with one, as the work forms part of a broader private power pole installation that connects to the electricity network. High Demand Electrical manages both the core drilling and the complete pole installation as a single job, ensuring the work is compliant with Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy requirements from start to finish.
In most cases, the core drilling component of a power pole installation is completed within a few hours, depending on the depth required and the hardness of the substrate. High Demand Electrical attends with the appropriate equipment for your specific site conditions, and the full pole installation including the core drilling is typically completed within a single day.
Core drilling creates a precise, clean bore rather than breaking up the surrounding surface, which minimises damage to your driveway or footpath compared to other excavation methods. Our team takes care to protect surrounding surfaces during the process. Where any surface reinstatement is required after the installation, we discuss this with you prior to commencing work.
It's one of several cost factors in a private power pole installation, which varies with access, depth, substrate and connection requirements. We provide a fixed, upfront quote after assessing your site.
Yes. We scan the drilling location for buried services and reinforcement before starting, so the bore is placed safely.

"Chris was the professional, punctual and his services are exceptional. Chris re-wired the entire property, chased the electrical work in the bathroom and kitchen areas, left a clean and tidy environment and his open communication and dialogue was a welcomed experience.
When he quoted an arrival time, he was there. He talked me through what he was doing, and provided feedback/suggestions on how to tackle any issues. I felt part of the process, as opposed to being another Customer.
