Common applications include plumbing, electrical conduits, and HVAC installations.

Not sure this question is relevant to gemology.

There was a time not too long ago, when concrete was being used as a backdrop setting/medium for pendants and articles of intarsia to highlight center solitaire gems.

Some of the artists would use cabosil or natural fibers as a reinforcement in the concrete to help stabilize it. But that didn’t necessarily require the use of specialized concrete coring drills. :grin:
