Diamond Drilling in Reading | The Main Benefits of a Diamond Drilling Service

Diamond drilling has applications across many manual trades and industries. It is a commonly used drilling technique on major construction projects in the Reading area, and one of the most convenient systems for creating holes and apertures. If you need our diamond drilling contractors to form holes in a hard material such as concrete, glass, metal or stone, please get in touch with us. Fenndrill Ltd can consult, survey and quote for projects of any size.

With diamond drilling, you always get the cleanest, most accurate results and achieve a much smoother finish than you would with standard drill bits. We invite you to contact us should you ever need our help and assistance.

The techniques used by our diamond drilling contractors are simple and very affordable. Because our operatives use remote-controlled panels to power the rig, it is a safe process and keeps all personnel clear of flying debris. Because diamond drilling is a non-percussive working method, it is suitable for projects in Reading where we need to be attentive to structural stability.

This blog post looks at the four main benefits of choosing Fenndrill Ltd:

Drilling Holes in Hard Materials

Diamond drilling equipment drills hard materials with a bit that has diamonds infused into the cutting edge. This allows for cleaner, smoother drilling and it easily outperforms other techniques. Cutting through concrete and stone requires strength and durability in our rigs and our drill bits. High melting points stop diamond drill bits from burning out. They have extremely long lifecycles.

Bits attach to hollow rotary drills which allow our contractors to feed through water when drilling, which keeps sites in Reading free from dust and pollution.

Accurate Workmanship

When you visit any building, construction or civil engineering project in the Reading area, you’ll notice that areas reserved for drilling work tend to be dusty and littered with chips. Diamond drilling equipment cuts through hard materials at calculated rates so, in addition to using water to keep levels of dust to a minimum, it produces very little by way of chippings and waste.

This ensures highly accurate drilling and satisfactory outcomes for our clients.

Calculated Drilling Speeds

If you try to cut holes into hard materials using a household drill, even if it is from a manufacturer with associations to the trade, you will notice that the bit soon overheats. You’ll also need to use high drilling speeds to cut into concrete or stone. This leads to flying chips and, even if you wear PPE, there is no guarantee that you won’t be hit by wayward materials whilst working.

With diamond drilling in Reading, we calculate speeds in advance based on the material and the depth and diameter of the hole required. We also use remote-controlled panels to keep our operators clear from flying debris.

Controlled Noise and Vibration

Diamond drilling contractors use non-percussive techniques which generate little to no noise at all. This makes our work suitable for use in any sensitive environments where we need to consider vibrations and our impact on the structural integrity of buildings in Reading. Importantly, on projects which require diamond drilling in volume, our work doesn’t affect other contractors.

Our equipment fits into areas with restricted access and limited workspace.
