Percussion Drilling

Percussion drilling using our high-powered remote controlled machines offers an efficient, cost-effective drilling solution where steel is not present. Percussion Drilling has many applications including steel column or hand-rail bases, dowel/starter bar installation, or other locations where a mechanical or chemical resin fixing is required. Commonly used in airports, on motorways and on bridges for reinstatement of concrete sections, Rotary Percussion Drilling is a fast method of drilling holes into most materials to fix starter bars and anchors.
Our remote controlled fully automatic Percussion Drilling machines allow our Core ECT operators to drill holes without being exposed to the dangers of hand-arm vibration issues.

With over 21 years of percussion drilling covering small and large projects, the Core-ECT team is fully accredited ensuring delivery of first class results on time every time guaranteeing a high standard of workmanship and delivery on time every time.

Core-ECT is based in the centre of England between Sheffield and Nottingham, operating throughout the UK. Contact Core-ECT to discuss your percussive drilling requirements.

Absolute quality work and very well managed team that will go above and beyond to help with any problems that may occur. Most professional diamond drilling team that I personally have ever come across. They did a fantastic job at very short notice and at a very competitive price. The client was so impressed with their standard of workmanship and how they left the site very tidy afterwards, he thanked me for the referral and said he will most definitely be using them again.
