Diamond Drilling

Diamond Drilling

An accurate way of forming holes in reinforced and mass concrete, stone, brick, block work or asphalt. Holes can be formed between 10mm and 1,000mm in diameter. They can be drilled vertically or horizontally at any angle or depth without creating dust or vibrations.

• NON-PERCUSSIVE
• NO DUST PRODUCED

What is Diamond Drilling?

Diamond drilling is a specialised technique of core drilling that employs a rotary drill fitted with a diamond-tipped bit to produce meticulously measured openings. Given that diamond is the hardest natural substance, it excels at penetrating various materials, such as concrete, metal, and stone. This precision drilling method is capable of generating clean and exact holes with diameters ranging from 10mm to over 1000mm. As a non-percussive process, diamond drilling preserves the structural integrity of the surrounding area during operation. Each diamond drill is equipped with a water-cooling system that circulates water through the drill shaft, effectively minimising dust accumulation in the workspace. Additionally, these drills can be maneuvered in both vertical and horizontal orientations, allowing for versatility based on project requirements.

When Can Diamond Drilling be used?

While diamond drills are predominantly employed for concrete applications, their versatility allows them to be effectively used on a wide range of materials, including, metal, stone, asphalt, and tile. Diamond drilling is essential in scenarios requiring accurate hole placement, such as forming large openings for ductwork, smaller penetrations for plumbing or electrical conduits, and creating holes for securing or anchoring bolts. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in concrete sample analysis. The depth of the holes that can be achieved is virtually limitless.

Diamond Drilling Benefits and Uses

Diamond drilling presents several key benefits compared to traditional drilling methods. Its cutting precision surpasses that of percussive techniques, reducing the risk of compromising structural integrity. The equipment is not only lightweight but also highly portable, making it suitable for use in confined spaces. Additionally, the process operates at a low noise level, allowing it to be conducted in a variety of environments without generating significant sound disturbances. Moreover, diamond drilling produces minimal dust, resulting in less mess and disruption during operations.
