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.
