Diamond drilling is the preferred method for creating accurate openings for mechanical and electrical services, ventilation systems, plumbing, fire protection and structural alterations. The precision of diamond core drilling minimises the risk of structural damage while reducing clean-up time and disposal costs compared with traditional breaking methods.
By creating a precise holes without damaging any surfaces, Diamond drilling is an effective method to use for the installation of ducting or electrical cabling through a variety of concrete and brickwork structures.
For demolition, concrete bursting creates a series of pilot holes within concrete, brick and stone surfaces. Once the holes have been drilled a hydraulic burster is then inserted and expands inside the concrete, splitting it apart as it does so.
Where street furniture is being fitted, core extraction removes parts of the street’s surface without damaging the structural condition and quality of the paving.
Although primarily used on concrete, we can drill on virtually any material including glass, metal, stone, asphalt and tile. In any situation where precise holes are required including creating large openings for ducts, smaller holes for pipes or wiring, creating holes for the placement or anchoring bolts, or even for concrete sample analysis. Holes can be created to an almost unlimited depth.
