Diamond drilling is a specialised technique that utilises drill bits encrusted with industrial diamonds to cut through extremely hard materials with high levels of accuracy. This process is often essential for many construction projects where precise holes or cuts need to be created in concrete, stone, or other hard surfaces found on construction sites.
Applications in Construction:
1. Core Drilling:
One of the primary applications of diamond drilling in construction is core drilling. This process involves using an annular diamond drill bit to create cylindrical holes (or cores) in walls, slabs or floors, typically concrete. Core drilling is commonly used for running utility lines, installing ventilation systems, or creating openings for windows or doors.
2. Flat Sawing:
Diamond flat saws are most often used for cutting precise openings in concrete surfaces. This technique is typically used to create openings for stairs, elevators, or other structural modifications without causing excessive vibrations or damaging the surrounding areas.
3. Wall and Slab Sawing:
Diamond wall and slab saws are designed to cut directly through concrete walls or slabs, allowing for the installation of doors, windows, or other openings. These saws can also make precise cuts without compromising the structural integrity of the remaining concrete.
4. Expansion Joint Cutting:
Expansion joint cutting uses diamond blades to create expansion joints in concrete surfaces, which allow for controlled cracking and prevent unintended cracks from forming due to temperature changes or ground movements.
5. Demolition and Renovation:
Diamond drilling also plays a large role in demolition and renovation projects, where sections of hard materials need to be removed or reshaped without causing excessive damage to the surrounding areas. This precise cutting method minimises dust and noise, making it a great choice for work in occupied buildings.
