National Drilling Services

Tungsten Drilling

Tungsten carbide percussive drilling is a highly effective technique for installing dowel bars, resin fixings and other anchors within concrete. The specialised drill bits, ranging in diameter from 12mm up to 50mm, create a rough textured hole that provides an optimal surface for subsequent resin adhesives to firmly grip fixings.

Modern anti-vibration drill machines, such as models from Hilti, allow operators to achieve clean, precise holes. The percussive rotary action of the tungsten carbide bits quickly cores through concrete while containing dust for a cleaner, safer work area. Installation of fixings with appropriate resin adhesives into the mechanically prepared holes creates a long-lasting, load-bearing connection.

With a team serving clients across the UK, National Drilling Services has extensive experience carrying out tungsten drilling projects both large and small We can accommodate any concrete coring or fixing installation requirement with our dedicated fleet of professional tools and equipment.
