When it is needed

Use the right method for the opening.

  • New service penetrations through slabs and walls
  • Existing openings are the wrong size or position
  • Reinforced concrete requires a specialist cutting method
  • Dust and vibration need to be controlled on occupied or finished sites
Typical workflow

Confirm diameter, depth and drilling orientation

Method and sequence are confirmed around the site-specific requirement.

Review access, substrate and surrounding services

Method and sequence are confirmed around the site-specific requirement.

Set up the rig and water-control method

Method and sequence are confirmed around the site-specific requirement.
