What is Diamond Drilling?

Diamond drilling is a non-percussive action that cuts non-reinforced or reinforced concrete with minimal vibration and noise. Generally, it requires water to lubricate the diamond cutting segments, as this acts as a cooling agent while the works are in progress. As a result, the holes can be cut with extreme precision and can vary in size and depth depending on the client’s requirements. Additionally, all slurry generated from the works can be controlled and disposed of using vacuum rings and hoovers at the source, ensuring a controlled environment is maintained throughout the cutting process.

Moreover, all holes can be formed vertically, horizontally, or at an angle, making the process very flexible to suit even the most challenging projects.

What is Diamond Drilling used for?

Diamond drilling is recognised as a very practical and efficient way of forming holes in concrete with minimal disruption. Typically, practical uses for forming singular holes include, but are not limited to, pipes and cables for mechanical engineers or civil contractors for bollards and barriers.

Furthermore, should the requirement be for an opening, the holes can be linked together to form a continuous line. This technique is known as stitch drilling, which is generally carried out using 107/127mm diameter cutting heads, as they are the optimum size for commercial viability and speed when using this type of method.
