Diamond Drilling
Cut & Carve for Refurbishment
The
job in hand here is a penthouse apartment in the centre of London owned
by a wealthy Russian gentleman who had experiences of drilling and sawing.
His express wish was that there was an absolute minimum of noise and a desire
to control all water used in the diamond cutting techniques of the refurbishment.
Although
diamond sawing the apertures would have been quicker it was decided that
the containment of wastewater was much more likely to happen if the stitch
drilling technique was carried out.
Once
the stitch drilling had been completed we deployed our concrete crunching
techniques to remove the unwanted centre section (see the case study on
concrete crunching).
Through out the whole of this contract, which lasted for approximately 4 weeks we were surrounded by occupants/tenants of other apartments and in all that neither our client nor us had one complaint with regards to the works.
A
typical example of stitch drilling using an acrow prop to mount a rig on.
