National Drilling Services is a leading drilling and sawing provider, serving the construction industry across the UK.  In fact for many sites and construction clients, National Drilling Services is the go to provider for all drilling, sawing and demolition services.  So why could diamond core drilling help reduce labour costs?  Diamond core drilling has a number of benefits and one of these is that it cuts holes fast.  In addition to the benefit of speed, diamond core drilling also brings the advantage of accuracy.  Holes can be drilled using this method from 10mm to 1000mm and virtually unlimited depths.  Drilling holes accurately is key to the next stage of your construction process.  Indeed site managers are reliant on accuracy to enable construction to proceed to schedule.  Therefore you could argue that diamond core drilling not only helps save labour costs but helps keep projects on track as regards timescales as well.

Diamond Core Drilling is Strong

Whilst accuracy and speed of drilling are important as mentioned above, strength is also key when drilling through hard or tough materials.  Diamond core drilling can penetrate most types of materials and is commonly used for cutting through reinforced concrete.  This is because, as the name suggests, our specialist drills have diamonds on the cutting edges to enhance the cutting process.  Diamonds being naturally a very hard material enable our operatives to cut through hard surfaces accurately and quickly, with relatively little mess.

Diamond Core Drilling Creates Minimal Debris

On construction sites debris, spoil, shavings and rubble can build up quickly so any method that causes less debris surely has to be a benefit to those responsible for keeping the site safe, tidy and accessible.  Diamond core drilling creates the minimum amount of debris and also incurs only a minor noise level, so another impressive benefit for the Health and Safety Officer too.  At National Drilling Services, we pride ourselves on our high levels of health and safety, which is one of the reasons that our clients rate us as their number one choice in the UK.

 

How do National Drilling Services Power their Diamond Core Drilling?

Our diamond core drilling equipment can be powered in three different ways according to what is best suited to the site, for example, the location of the drilling site relative to a power source, if the drilling is in an enclosed area and so on.  Our operatives can select to power the diamond core drills using electric, air or hydraulic energy.

As the name suggests, diamond core drilling uses specialist drilling equipment which features diamonds on the cutting edges of the drill.  This provides a fast and efficient hole cutting service.  Diamonds, being the hardest substance available, can cut through almost any material, including reinforced concrete, stone and other dense building materials.  As diamond is so hard these specialist drills deal better with the resistance from the construction materials and are therefore fast and accurate.  As a well established business in the construction sector, National Drilling Services find that the benefits to our clients, when we use diamond core drilling services are numerous:

  • There is minimum debris, so less clearing required and lower safety risk
  • Only a minor noise level making it safer for the operator and all other construction site operatives working in and around the drilling site
  • This method is fast which therefore saves time, which ultimately means cost as well, helping time schedules to be met
  • The time factor also saves on labour costs
  • Diamond core drilling creates very accurate holes meeting high specifications of building projects
  • Depending on the environment and facilities of the site, the drilling can be powered by electric, hydraulic or air power to suit the requirements of the construction site
