Richard Blakey. Contracts Manager.NMC PLC: Brush Traction Ltd, Loughborough.
Scope of work: Removal of internal floor slab 40 lin metre long x 15 lin metre wide x 2400mm thick to allow new machine foundations to be formed. Due to ultra delicate in-use engineering equipment sitting on the slab which was operating on a 24/7 basis, Hi Tec Diamond Drilling Ltd carried out the slab removal by vibration free diamond floor saw cutting and stitch drilling methods.
The works required on site consisted of forming a perimeter break line x 500mm deep in to the r/c floor slab, this was carried out with the use of a diesel powered floor saw fitted with a 1200mm dia wet cut diamond saw blade. 415v high frequency and hydraulic powered drilling rigs with attached 150mm dia wet cut diamond core bits were used to carry out the stitch drilling works vertically through the r/c slab.
Due to limited access, working space, and factory headroom the centre section of slab had to be stitch drilled into sections varying from 1000mm x 1000mm up to 1750mm x 1750mm, each piece weighing up to 13 tons each. Upon completion of the stitch drilling works each slab section to be removed had 3no 40mm dia x 500mm deep angled lifting holes drilled , lifting bolts were bonded in to each hole with epoxy resin as to allow removal at a later date by the client with the use of the on site overhead crane.

Kim Hunter. UK LandcareHenry Boot Construction
Hi-Tec Diamond Drilling Ltd have proven to be a first class subcontractor for Henry Boot Construction Ltd at Games Workshop, Nottingham.
Their operatives showed true professionalism in their safe working within an existing building on this project. Their cutting and breaking out works on the project were carried out over on a last minute basis over a weekend following a late design change by the Structural Engineer prior to the piling works being carried carried out.
This subcontractor excelled in providing operatives to complete the works within the tight timescales required due to the nature of the project through the use of top quality machinery necessary. It has been a pleasure working alongside them and we hope they will be able to continue working with us in future.
