When constructing specialist booths at the Protos facility in Chester, our client encountered an unforeseen hurdle. The project required 62 precise holes, each 18mm in diameter and 150mm deep, to be cored into the existing structure. Initially, the client attempted to complete this intricate task themselves, utilising their own drilling equipment.
The hardness of the material and the specific requirements for hole accuracy and depth quickly revealed that their existing tools were not sufficient for the job. Recognising the need for specialist expertise and equipment to ensure the project progressed smoothly and to the required standard, they contacted DP Diamond Drilling.
We got the client's call, and our team deployed to Chester.
Our initial assessment confirmed the client's observations: standard drilling methods would not achieve the necessary precision or penetrate the material effectively to the required depth. This scenario is precisely where DP Diamond Drilling's specialist knowledge and advanced equipment come into their own.
We opted for diamond coring, a method perfectly suited for creating clean, accurate holes in challenging materials. Our expert operatives arrived with the appropriate diamond core drills and bits, specifically chosen for their ability to cut through the material with minimal vibration and maximum efficiency. The 18mm diameter was critical for the booth construction, and our equipment ensured consistency across all 62 required holes.
The execution of the task was meticulous and efficient. Each of the 62 holes was cored to the exact 18mm diameter and 150mm depth. The use of wet drilling techniques was integral to this process, effectively controlling dust and maintaining a clean, safe working environment, which is always a priority for DP Diamond Drilling. This also helped to preserve the integrity of the drill bits and ensure smooth cutting action.
Our operatives' experience played a vital role in the project's success. Their ability to set up the equipment precisely and maintain consistent pressure throughout the drilling process guaranteed that each hole met the stringent specifications required for the booth construction. The precision of diamond coring meant that the client could proceed with their installation without concerns about alignment or structural integrity, issues that can often arise from less accurate drilling methods.
The intervention of DP Diamond Drilling meant that the client's project at Protos could continue without further delay or compromise on quality. All 62 holes were completed to the exact specifications, providing the client with perfectly formed penetrations ready for their booth assembly. The clean and precise nature of the diamond-cored holes significantly reduced the need for any remedial work, saving the client valuable time and resources.
This project at Protos in Chester serves as a clear illustration of how specialised diamond drilling services can overcome on-site challenges where conventional methods fall short. By relying on DP Diamond Drilling, the client benefited from our precision, efficiency, and commitment to delivering high-quality results, ensuring their construction project remained on schedule and within specification.
