Diamond Drilling

Our diamond drilling services cut holes quickly and cleanly from 7-1500mm diameter and to various depths (reached with barrel extensions) through reinforced concrete, brickwork, Stonework, block and asphalt. We have horizontal, vertical and inverted diamond drills for confined spaces, all with a water feed to ensure a clean, dust-free environment.

Diamond drilling provides a reliable, flexible way to prepare for construction work, such as mechanical and electrical services, telephone cables, heating and pipework conduits and ventilation shafts.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Quick, efficient and non-vibratory
  • Non-destructive: a reduced risk of causing structural damage
  • Very little noise and no dust
  • Less debris produced so saves time and disposal costs
  • Lightweight, portable equipment
  • Ideal for difficult situations (eg tights spaces, underwater)
  • Can be remote controlled for extra safety

"I would just like to say that your operative that came to the University of Leeds yesterday to commence with the 4nr core holes was a pleasure to have. He was very professional/ persistent and completed the works in hand. Thanks again."


University of Leeds - Site Supervisor

"2 of your employees, Paul Green and Graham Crowley, completed the drilling project on the Pendine Long Test Track with us today. I’d like to let you know that they carried out their work professionally, effectively and safely. They have done an excellent job within the timeline of the contract and they were a pleasure to have on site."

John Holcroft - Owner of San Giovanni restaurant

"D-Drill carried out the works here in a very safe and controlled manner for the whole time, the workmanship and care they took for the task of cutting down existing culverts and drilling out core holes was brilliant. The client commented several times on this also."


Trant Engineering Limited - Site Manager

"The lads that attended site for us at Kings Lynn were fantastic, both us at TEi and Centrica were impressed with their professionalism, and just how quickly they removed all four of the plinths"

Barrow Upon Sour Railway Station

D-Drill get local services back on track after railway bridge collapse Skilled concrete cutting experts worked under extreme pressure to get train services back on track after the side of a railway bridge collapsed onto one of Leicestershire’s main routes to London. D-Drill operatives were called in after the side of a railway bridge collapsed at Barrow upon Sour Railway Station, near Loughborough and had to work against the clock to get the bridge reopened. The bridge required strengthening to prevent it from collapsing further on to the train line below and time was of the essence as it lies over the main East Coast Main Line route to London. Operatives from D-Drill’s northern and Midlands branches were called in by AMCO, working on behalf of Network Rail, and used diamond drilling to insert anchor bars through the entire width of the bridge – but that followed an extensive search to find a particular mining barrel to complete the task.
