Diamond drilling (diamond drilling of concrete) — the process of formation of a cylindrical hole within the construction material (concrete, reinforced concrete, brick, stone, etc.) with use of diamond tools.

Diamond drilling (drilling) is used in construction for making technological holes in laying various types of communications:

water systems, heating, ventilation, air conditioning; sewage and waste systems;

electric networks, fiber optic data channels;

sampling of concrete in monolithic structures; the samples in the rocks;

Technology of diamond drilling (drilling) is widely used in the manufacture of niches in the brick and concrete walls, cutting openings in main walls and ceilings.

The technique of diamond drilling.

Technology of diamond drilling involves the use of special equipment: installation of diamond drilling and tool — diamond drill bits (core drill).

Installation of diamond drilling — a technical device, consisting of electrical or hydraulic bermotor and frame.

Hydraulic installation of diamond drilling is suitable for drilling large diameter holes and work from hydraulic pumps for these plants. The cost of such installations is much higher electrical installations of diamond drilling and requires special operator training diamond drilling.
