Railway station provides platform for D-Drill

21 November 2011

Drilling experts from a Coventry-based company were called in to help with the refurbishment of Balsall Common Railway Station.

D-Drill (Master Drillers) Ltd was asked to undertake a drilling operation to help the Murphy Group, the main contractors carrying out the work, fit a new hand rail at the station. The handrail posts needed to be diamond drilled 32mm in diameter by 1500mm deep, vertically down through brickwork which is a substantial depth.

Julie White, of D-Drill (Master Drillers) Ltd, explained: “It sounds like a fairly routine job but the substantial depths to be achieved made this an interesting project. D-Drill operative deployed to commence the project had considerable experience and knowledge to complete this project in a safe and speedy manner, above and beyond the customers expectations.

“We have vast experience in diamond drilling and D-Drill is well known in the industry for our ability to carry out more complicated tasks and being able to complete them on time and on budget.”
