When it comes to drilling techniques, diamond drilling is a mechanism that poses the maximum number of logistical challenges. Primarily, a diamond driller refers to using a drill with a diamond tip attached to a hollow tube. Diamond drilling in South West England is used for lubrication and cooling purposes with the help of water flow. It can also be used for the removal of drill waste via a suction mechanism. Diamond drilling is often used for the following:
✔ To install cables or ducts via drilling in brickwork and concrete
✔ To boreholes in the ground containing stone layers
✔ To demolish stone or concrete structures
✔ To craft jewellery
Now, it is strictly advisable to use an Aqua guard when you are using a diamond drill for your operations. An aqua guard serves the purpose of limiting the flow, pressure and amount of water inflow during drilling. Let us look at a few reasons why installing an Aqua guard with your diamond drill is a good idea:
Better working conditions
Often, drilling into water-rich areas can cause a severe backflow of water onto your worksite. This can create a mess in the worksite owing to flooding. Not only does it increase the chances of injury for your workers, but it also implies damage and corrosion to your drill equipment. To prevent such sudden groundwater backflows, the Aqua guard can come in extremely handy.
Better safety measures
Mostly, diamond drilling is used on highly fractured surfaces, ground or otherwise. Having a useful water limiter such as the Aqua guard provides a better on-site safety mechanism. Often, diamond drilling in South West England can lead to water gushing in above the ground at rates of 600 gallons a minute and 1000PSI. Further, the water temperature can be as high as 125 °F, causing severe damage. The Aqua guard can effectively control the degree to which you insert or extract the diamond drill. Hence, it provides the much-needed additional safety.
Improved drilling efficiency
Since the Aqua guard controls the pressure and backflow of underground water, it significantly increases the efficiency of the drilling procedure. Very less time and effort need to be devoted to counter the high flow and pressure conditions of the groundwater. The self-closing valves of the Aqua guard control the motion of the underground and aid the drilling procedure as well as the removal of drill waste.
Better core recovery
The primary purpose of diamond drilling is the efficient core recovery in mining sites. Even when you are working with fractured ground having a high content of stone and clay, the Aqua guard ensures active core recovery. This is done mainly via the effective control of water inflow, thereby preventing the core from getting washed away.
Diamond Drilling Services is a trusted name when it comes to diamond drilling in South West England. They provide quality services, even in the most difficult of drilling situations. Opting for an Aqua guard during your diamond drilling services can thus help you get more efficient results in a shorter period.
