Type of Work Undertaken • Diamond core drilling, dry or with water control • Drilling test cores for compressive strength • Diamond stitch drilling • Drilling steel beams • Drilling cottage stone walls for services • Drilling prior to Cintec anchor instillation • Resin anchor installation • Fixing Bolt installers • Load Testing of anchors and bolts • Installing helical fixings • Fire stopping of holes

Diamond      core      drilling      produces      a      smooth accurate   hole   through   reinforced   concrete, brickwork    and    stone,    with    an    absence    of dust   and   vibration.   It   is   extremely   beneficial when   holes   are   required   in   thick   stone   walls as   it   eliminates   the   need   to   remove   large stones    when    smaller    holes    are    required. Holes   for   heating   pipes,   boiler   flues,   waste pipes,   air   ventilation   or   extraction   pipes   can all   be   drilled   with   minimal   disruption   to   the cottage or house walls.

Core     drilling     is     a     high     production     and precise     method     of     drilling     any     type     of concrete,     rock,     stone,     or     asphalt.     This method   is   fast   efficient   and   structurally   safe to    the    surrounding    areas    and    can    be    set precisely     level     or     at     most     angles.     The operation   requires   little   or   no   reinstatement work,   water   and   dust   control   attachments can   be   used   where   a   clean   environment   is being worked in. Using   electric   or   hydraulic   powered   drilling equipment,     SMS     Wales     can     drill     holes ranging   from   8mm   in   diameter   right   up   to 700mm   in   diameter   and   varying   lengths   up to 16 metres Currently     we     can     drill     holes     in     32mm, 42mm,   66mm   and   115mm   in   long   lengths using   continuous   casings   normally   used   for Cintec anchors.

Core   drilling   is   a   quiet,   non-percussive   way   of forming holes. Core   drilling   is   the   cleanest,   most   economical way    to    penetrate    a    concrete    wall,    slab    or footing,   stone   wall,   cottage   or   house   wall   with a round hole. Core   drilling   keeps   the   structural   integrity   of surrounding areas in tact. Core   drilling   can   be   done   at   any   depth   and through virtually any hard material. Very   effective   in   limited   spaces.   Machines   can be remotely operated.
