Diamond Drilling in Southampton | A Trusted Choice with Main Contractors and Construction Companies

Diamond drilling is an essential process used on groundworks, building and construction projects in Southampton and the wider Berkshire and Hampshire areas. The technique is one that sees our diamond drilling contractors cut circular cross-sectioned holes into hard materials such as reinforced concrete. Based on the type of hole needed, Fenndrill Ltd can supply the right equipment for your project and, of course, the very best in personnel.

In addition to drilling, our contractors specialise in tracksawing and wire sawing, two similar services which also use diamond cutting edges.

Our investment into modern innovation, and the decades of combined experience in our team, make Fenndrill Ltd a preferred choice amongst clients in and around the Southampton area. Diamond drilling contractors can work on a range of projects and in all sensitive environments.

What is Diamond Drilling?

Diamond drilling is a practice used on hard materials such as concrete, glass and metal. Using diamond drill bits connected to rotary drills, this core drilling service creates holes of a precise depth and diameter which accommodate the fixing of anchor bolts, the integration of pipework and electrical cables, or whatever the demands of the project might be. Our equipment can make horizontal or vertical cuts based on the specification of the job at hand.

Because diamond is the planet’s hardest natural material, it has the strength required to penetrate hard materials at carefully calculated rates.

Our diamond drilling contractors regularly work on building and construction projects in Southampton and the surrounding areas. Fenndrill Ltd has an excellent local and regional reputation, and we offer our services to main contractors, building companies, civil engineers and infrastructural specialists.

How does Diamond Drilling Work?

Through precise calculations which factor in the material type, the size of the bit, and the required depth and diameter, diamond drilling forms clean and accurate holes in hard materials. Equipment can cut to diameters of between 8mm and 1,500mm, although these figures can vary based on the drill bit sizes your preferred company of diamond drilling contractors uses. It is important to note that diamond drilling is a non-percussive technique.

To keep dust and pollution levels under control, we use hollow rotary drills on projects in Southampton which allow us to feed through water.

Although diamond has a high melting point, water also helps to cool the bit.

Applications for Diamond Drilling in Construction

Fenndrill Ltd creates precise, seamless cuts on construction projects where there are solid materials in need of diamond drilling. In addition to anchor bolts, pipework and cables, we also drill to create openings which allow for the installation of windows and doors. We calculate drilling meticulously prior to starting a job so that our rigs and bits are of the perfect size to drill holes which tie in with measurements on the project’s architectural specification.

We can also create holes in any hard surface to match existing patterns.

Our diamond drilling contractors also form holes to use for crane bases, to create openings for mini piles, and for a wide variety of solutions which all tie in especially well with Southampton’s busy building and construction sector.
