Making Concrete Diamond Drilling Easy at its core

Diamond drilling so simple just one person can start coring and go all day

We set out to make diamond coring easy

SCHEDULING

Because of time and complexity, many contractors outsource diamond coring. Scheduling means that a jobsite often must wait around for an outside coring team to be sheduled, travel to the site, do the work, and clean up. Sometimes just for a few holes.

LABOR

Second, it takes multiple people with skill and experience to core. They need to move equipment, set up the core rig, provide a continuous water supply, re-fill buckets, and clean up slurry after drilling.

WATER SOURCE

Third, finding a water source on site, transporting to your coring location and managing the flow of water to the core bit while drilling can all be a problem. In fact, maintaining a constant water supply often occupies much more of your time and reduces your productivity than the actual drilling process.

So easy, every jobsite will benefit

This is on-demand diamond drilling

The big advantage of empowering your trade experts to handle their own coring is that a project never gets stuck waiting around for an outside coring team to get called in, travel to the site, do the work, and then clean-up - sometimes just for one or two holes.

Designed for non-specialists to use easily and accurately

Hilti has figured out how to make diamond coring easy for people who aren't coring full-time. We did this by identifying the major problems of water management, tool mobility, and clean up and devising solutions that make operation simple, intuitive and fast.

Turns a multiple person job into a one person job

From the setup to cleanup, one person is all it takes. Because it is easy to manuver and self-contained, Hilti's diamond coring system eliminates the need for multiple people to be involved in coring work. This can reduce the labor from an average of three people to just one.

It's the fastest way to core in the industry, from start to finnish

Speed is a natural companion to productivity. Not only can one person do an entire coring job solo, the time it takes them to setup, drill, cleanup is typically 40% faster than the next best alternative.

Pays for itself in just two or three jobs

No tricks or complicated math required: The upfront investment of the system pays for itself very quickly when compared to costs for outsourcing coring and waiting for work to be done.
