Diamond drilling is a non-percussive technique that uses diamond-tipped drill bits to cut precise holes in hard materials such as concrete, asphalt, and stone. The process produces smooth-edged cores for laboratory testing, minimising noise, vibration, and dust.

Suitable for a wide range of applications, including structural investigations, geotechnical testing, and utility installations.
