Make difficult drilling positions manageable
Setups adapted to clearance
We adjust equipment and positioning around the usable space at the core point.
Nearby areas controlled
Work zones help separate drilling from occupants, finishes and live activity.
Constraints checked early
A detailed assessment identifies access or fixing problems before mobilisation.
Core drilling where normal access is missing
A straightforward hole becomes a different job when there is little room for the rig, no easy fixing position or a restricted route for equipment. We adapt the drilling setup for tight spaces after checking the available clearance, orientation and access. This may involve changing equipment, the fixing arrangement or the order of operations. We need accurate measurements around the drilling point as well as the required core size. Conditions on the far side matter too, especially where the released core, water or dust cannot be allowed into an uncontrolled area.
Careful controls around people and finishes
Occupied buildings and sensitive areas need more than a compact machine. We plan how to isolate the immediate work zone and protect nearby finishes, users or ongoing activity. Access routes, permissible fixing points and working hours can all affect what is feasible. Where restrictions are significant, we may need a detailed site assessment before choosing the method. That early review allows us to explain practical limits and prepare controls around the real environment, not an empty room imagined from a single photograph.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a confined drilling position?
It may involve limited rig clearance, restricted operator space, a narrow equipment route or difficult access to the far side. Send measurements and photographs from several angles so we can make an initial assessment.
Can you drill while a building remains occupied?
We can assess work in occupied buildings, but suitability depends on isolation space, dust or slurry controls, noise limits and safe access. We plan a defined work zone and may request a site assessment before confirming the method.
Why might a site assessment be necessary?
Photographs do not always show fixing points, clearances or conditions beyond the surface. A site assessment lets us check the equipment route, drilling orientation, nearby finishes and controls before committing to a setup.
