Need to create precise openings in brickwork, concrete, or even reinforced structures for doorways, windows, or service installations? Our wall sawing expertise ensures a clean, controlled cut that minimises disruption and maintains the aesthetic integrity of buildings.

Floor Sawing

Transforming basements, adding utility trenches, or needing precise concrete floor removal? Our floor sawing techniques offer a faster, cleaner alternative to traditional methods, keeping your project on schedule.

Stitch Drilling

Core Drilling

Structural integrity is crucial, and core drilling plays a vital role. We extract precise cylindrical samples of concrete or masonry for testing. But, this method is also a safe way to assist with making entries/openings.

Diamond Drilling Use Cases in Canterbury, Kent

Canterbury Cathedral

Ventilation shafts

To improve air circulation and prevent moisture damage within the cathedral’s historic structure, diamond drilling is used to create ventilation shafts in the walls and roof. These shafts allow for the removal of stale air and the introduction of fresh air, helping to preserve the cathedral’s interior.

Historic Buildings

Plumbing renovations

When renovating historic buildings, diamond drilling is often necessary to create openings for new plumbing lines. This allows for the installation of modern plumbing systems without damaging the building’s original structure.

Electrical upgrades

To upgrade the electrical systems in historic buildings, diamond drilling is used to create holes for conduit pipes and electrical cables. This ensures that the building’s electrical wiring meets current safety standards.

Infrastructure Projects

Structural reinforcement

In infrastructure projects, such as strengthening bridges or buildings, diamond drilling is used to install anchors for structural reinforcement. These anchors are secured into the existing structure using diamond-core drilling, providing additional support and stability.

Utility installations

When installing new utility lines, such as water pipes or gas mains, diamond drilling is used to create openings in existing structures or underground tunnels. This allows for the safe and efficient installation of these lines without disrupting the surrounding area.
