Depending on its mix and the age of the surface, concrete typically has a compressive strength ranging from about 2500 to 7000 psi or more. In other words, it can withstand significant compressive forces before it begins to fail. This means it needs a particularly rigorous method for cutting effectively.
Diamond drilling is highly effective for cutting concrete due to several reasons.
Firstly, the hardness of diamonds make them ideal for drilling through all kinds of materials. One of the hardest substances on the planet, diamonds have exceptional abrasion resistance, making them capable of cutting through tough materials like concrete with ease.
Our team can deliver high precision and accuracy for your project in Cornwall and Devon.
This is important when cutting concrete, especially in applications where exact dimensions are required.
It also offers incredible speeds when cutting through concrete. This is because diamonds can cut through concrete much more efficiently than traditional tools like carbide or steel.
Another reason is it causes minimum damage to the surrounding concrete. Unlike other methods that may create cracks or fractures, diamond drilling leaves a clean, smooth cut with minimal debris.
Diamond drilling can be used for a wide range of concrete cutting applications, including creating openings for pipes, electrical wiring, HVAC systems, and more.
It can also be used for creating holes of various diameters and depths.
Compared to some other methods, diamond drilling produces less vibration and noise. This makes it ideal for places in the south west where minimising disruption is important, such as hospitals or residential areas. These are common places where our team works.
