A drilling assembly for drilling holes in concrete structures. The
assembly includes a base assembly defining a longitudinal axis and
adapted to support at least two concrete structures, for example, on
turntables positioned in spaced apart relation along the longitudinal
axis. A drilling machine is movably mounted to the base assembly between
the turntables for movement along the longitudinal axis, and includes a
drill assembly having first and second drill bits each substantially
aligned along the longitudinal axis and facing substantially opposite
directions. In this manner, the drilling machine includes an in-line,
dual drill bit assembly which allows the machine to move along a single
horizontal axis for both drilling operations and for traversing between
the turntables. Advantageously, the present assembly combines the
traverse and drilling axes of the drilling machine into a single
horizontal axis, thus eliminating the need to traverse the machine
between a pair of turntables along a first horizontal axis and to perform
drilling operations along a second horizontal axis.
