Diamond Core Drilling

Duncan Mackay and Sons Ltd can provide a diamond drilling service of between 60mm and 400mm in diamater at depths of upto and including 450mm.

Core drills are used for many applications, either where the core needs to be preserved (the drilling apparatus used in obtaining a core sample is often referred to as a corer), or where drilling can be done more rapidly since much less material needs to be removed than with a standard bit. This is the reason that diamond-tipped core drills are commonly used in construction to create holes for pipes, manholes, and other large-diameter penetrations in concrete or stone.
