Drilling Holes for Steel Erectors

Cheshire
Booths Construction

The Project Brief

Our team of contractors recently showcased our expertise in precision diamond drilling at the cutting-edge Protos Recycling Plant in Cheshire. 

For this project, we partnered with our client Booths Construction to tackle a challenging task that demanded both skill and safety - both of which are extremely important to us at DP Diamond Drilling. 

Our client needed 14mm, 18mm and 22mm holes with pinpoint accuracy, creating holes for steel erectors to put the bolts in place for critical steel plates. 

What set this project apart from the rest was the added complexity of working at height, utilising Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) to access the hard-to-reach areas. Throughout our work on site, our team of concrete contractors showcased their unwavering commitment to safety, ensuring not only the successful completion of the drilling, but also the well-being of everyone involved. 

Drilling from the height of MEWPs

Diamond drilling at height using MEWPs is an advanced service offered by specialist diamond drilling contractors such as ourselves. 

This method allows for safe and precise drilling operations in elevated and hard-to-reach areas, which is often essential for construction and industrial projects. MEWPs, such as scissor lifts and boom lifts, provide a stable and secure platform from which operators can perform drilling tasks at significant heights. 

By utilising these platforms, our skilled technicians can move closer to the drilling site with greater ease, ensuring accuracy whilst minimising the risk of accidents. 

Safety Whilst Drilling at Height

To ensure the safety of our diamond drillers, we used MEWPs equipped with harnesses. Additionally, each of our team members wore full personal protective equipment including eye and ear protection, hard hats, respiratory protection masks, gloves and protective clothing with high-visibility. 

All of these items were necessary to protect our skilled team of drilling contractors throughout the project, and allowed them to complete the project with precision.
