chase

Explanation:
To cut channels into a wall for pipes or conduit is known in English as 'chasing'. See def. no. 3 for 'chase' on answers.com (link below). The machine you use to do the job is called a wall chaser.

-> "Floor and Wall Chasing
Floor and wall chasing can be formed in various material such as concrete, masonary and screed. The chases can be various widths and depths to suit the client's requirements for conduits and pipe work in the walls, floors and ceilings. Dust extraction can be added and contained by attaching our vacuum equipment."
http://www.wallchasing.com/services.htm

Example sentence(s):

Cutting edge in wall chasing. MILWAUKEE Electric Tools has added the powerful 150mm WCS 45 unit to its range of wall chasing machines with a powerful 1900 watt motor and a spindle speed of 5800rpm.
