Today, there are many equipment, tools and techniques used by professionals to drill. One of the most popularly used techniques is diamond drilling.
But what is diamond drilling? Diamond drilling is a technique used by experts to drill a hole straight into the earth’s surface. This technique is mostly used in mining, for extracting valuable core samples and minerals. Diamond drilling is also a preferred option of many contractors in creating tunnels for plumbing, electric, Wi-Fi, telephone network and large construction work like tunnelling underground to create a subway system.
Equipment Used In Diamond Drilling
A diamond drill consists of a motorized power source that basically drives the drill. When it is used, the drill rod extracts a piece or several pieces of the core samples when the diamond bit breaks into the Earth. Diamonds are used in this particular type of drill since this element is quite strong and more resistant to the wear and tear that occurs during drilling. A diamond drill can effectively pierce through concrete and various types of natural stones like marble and granite.
Although diamond drills are generally electrically powered, there are devices that are hand-held or battery powered so that contractors can use them in certain areas where the electrical supply is limited or absent. Diamond drilling equipment can also work on a hydraulic power source. And whether the drilling machine is hydraulic or pneumatic, the power source can be connected to a rig.
