Diamond Drilling technology depends on the actual diamond part itself.

Diamond drilling tools are composed of industrial diamonds set in a metallic matrix that is slowly worn during drilling, exposing more diamond. Diamond core drilling technology is the favoured method of drilling holes in reinforced concrete and block work. This technology is extremely effective because it does not spoil concrete brickwork, and having a very low noise output due to reduced vibration levels, work can easily be carried out in working environments that are vulnerable to noise such as hospitals and offices. Holes of between 7-1000 mm without depth restriction can be drilled as required by a customer.

Stitch drilling is a technique used for larger and irregular shaped lots or openings in reinforced concrete walls and floors from 6mm – 1200mm in diameter. The results of which are not easily achievable by employing other cutting techniques. It is also recommended to be used in different restricted areas where controlled and clean environments have to maintained by keeping the waste to minimum. There is very little reinstatement necessary, and water control is used in highly sensitive areas. . Stitch drilling entails a series of 107mm diameter holes over-lapped by approximately 10mm to form the required shaped opening. This method can also be used to create larger diameter holes of 1.0m and greater. Diamond drilling motors vary in size and power depending on the diameter of the hole required. Drills can be powered by several different power sources, including: 110 volt electric, 3-phase high frequency electric or hydraulic motors which can be driven by either petrol or diesel power packs. There are also various types and sizes of drilling rigs that can be used ranging from a hand-held machine for small diameter holes and also to get into awkward locations to the latest in technology our 3-Phase High Frequency Rigs for larger diameters.

A quiet, non-percussive way of forming holes from 6mm- 1200mm in diameter in reinforced concrete structures. The result is free from spoiling and requires no or very little reinstatement, with water control being used in highly sensitive areas.

Concrete Cutting Division

Diamond wire sawing is the ideal solution when faced with removing, large heavily reinforced sections of concrete in restricted areas such as bridges, culverts and columns. The wire is positioned over the pulleys and fed through pre-drilled holes in the concrete that is being cut back over the drive pulley. The wire saw is easily able to handle the thickest sections of all construction materials. The wire can be of almost any length and is joined by special crimps. Its cutting rate can exceed 1 sqm an hour and leaves straight smooth cuts and the remaining structure undamaged.
