Services
Diamond Core Drilling
Our diamond core drilling service provides precise, clean holes in concrete structures while maintaining structural integrity. Using advanced equipment, we handle diameters from 12mm to 1200mm for projects ranging from utility installations to structural modifications. This non-vibratory method ensures minimal disruption in sensitive environments like hospitals and schools.
Wall Sawing
Precision wall sawing for creating openings or sections in concrete walls and floors. Our track-mounted saws enable straight cuts up to 750mm deep, ideal for creating doorways or service access points. The technique produces clean edges with minimal dust when combined with our water suppression systems.
Controlled Demolition
Hydraulic bursting and crunching techniques for controlled concrete removal without vibration damage. This method safely separates structural elements while preserving adjacent materials, particularly useful in occupied buildings or where explosive methods would be inappropriate.
Hydraulic Bursting
High-pressure hydraulic bursting creates clean separation lines in concrete without shockwaves or fly debris. This vibration-free technique suits sensitive locations like operational facilities or structures with reinforcement requirements, achieving precise demolition control.
Dust Controlled Chasing
Our dust-suppressed chasing service creates channels for services in walls and floors. Using extraction-equipped tools, we minimise airborne particles during electrical conduit or plumbing installations, maintaining safer working environments in occupied buildings.
