Diamond Drilling

Owen Fabrications are experienced with advanced drilling technologies such as core drilling and floor/wall sawing. Our Diamond Drilling service is utilised extensively within the industrial and construction building industry because its non-percussive, accurate, fast and more cost-effective than conventional drilling methods.

What is Diamond Drilling?

Diamond drilling is the most efficient method of forming holes and openings with meticulous detail in an array of hard construction materials, including reinforced concrete, brickwork and natural stone.

Diamond drill parts are considered the best tools for creating clean and precise holes on a horizontal and vertical structure on virtually any thickness of wall or floor.

The diamond drilling technique is the fastest drilling method to create accurate openings whilst maintaining structural integrity. The process also poses no health risks for its operators as it creates no noise, dust or vibrations, making it extremely safe.

Stitch Drilling

The Stitch Drilling method is a means of creating a large opening by diamond drilling holes linked together to form openings in walls or slabs. This operation is mainly used where the depths of the structure exceeds the limits of conventional saw or wire cutting.

We can stitch drill to form any shape or size required, Using electric or hydraulic, powered drilling rigs to drill holes ranging from 12mm in diameter right up to 550mm in diameter.

We Provide an End To End Service

Owen Fabrications has the in-house facilities and workforce to deliver your steel fabrication project from concept to reality in the safest & most efficient ways possible, all while maintaining an absolute focus on quality throughout the process.

Scope of Work & Quotation

If the client is looking for us to design and specify then we will vist site to survey and understand the required scope of works. Once the scope is fully defined then an accurate quote is produced.

Detailed Site Survey and Measurements

Following receipt of a purchase order, contract or other type of formal approval to proceed we begin the design and detailing process.
This will often require a detailed site survey to obtain measurements and to see any existing building fabric we need to connect to. If there is a client-appointed architect or structural engineer then we work alongside them during our design phase to ensure we are interpreting their requirements correctly, and to answer any queestions we may have.
Completed drawings are then issued to the client, architect or structural engineer (or all 3) for approval.

2D Fabrication Drawings & 3D Modeliing

We provide 2D component and fabrication drawings, plus 3D models of the complete space, which can also be provided as an IFC file for integration into the wider site model where BIM methodoligies are being used.

Steel ordered

Following drawing approval we produce a material list based on the agreed 3D model, which is then ordered with our preferred steel stockholder.

Steel Fabrication

Once we receive delivery of the raw materials we begin fabrication and use the approved drawings as the working guide within the workshop. During the fabrication process we will finalise and confirm the delivery requirements and submit any health and safety documentation which may be needed.

Delivery

On delivery, our operatives will unload the materials, unless the site requires unloading to be done by the main contractor (such as if there is a tower crane on site).

Installation

Depending on the scope of works and the required programme, our operatives will organise the materials into the order and area they are needed and will begin assembly on the ground of possible and necessary. They will work through all the materials until everything has been installed to plan.

Quality Control & Sign off

Following full completion and resolution of any snags, we will walk the site with the client to view and approve all elements and will ask the client to sign the works off accordingly.
