Stitch Drilling at Stepping Hill Hospital

Stockport
Stepping Hill Hospital

The Project Brief


DP Diamond Drilling recently completed a specialised project at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport, which involved precision diamond drilling through concrete. The task required stitch drilling through an existing slab beneath another slab, allowing for its removal and enabling pipes to be installed within thickening beams.


Stitch Drilling for Structural Solutions


With over 50 years of industry experience, our team at DP Diamond Drilling understands that stitch drilling is often the best solution for challenging concrete drilling projects like this one. Through drilling a series of overlapping holes, this method allows us to create custom-shaped openings with ease, making it ideal for drilling through concrete in large, complex structures.

For this project, using the stitch drilling method enabled the safe and precise removal of the concrete slab, without impacting the surrounding structures. This was essential for the installation of pipes within the thickening beams, ensuring the hospital’s infrastructure upgrade was completed smoothly. 


The Advantages of Stitch Drilling


Stitch drilling boasts several benefits, including reduced noise, vibration and dust - all of which are important considerations when working in sensitive environments such as healthcare settings. 

Throughout the project, our team of concrete drilling contractors ensured that the project was carried out efficiently with minimal disruption to hospital operations, all whilst maintaining the highest safety standards on site.
