Diamond Drilling

OVERVIEW

Skyline Rope Access has wide experience of carrying out diamond drilling, at height, on a variety of buildings and structures, where the use of conventional access method would prove to be expensive or disruptive.

Diamond drilling is a quiet, non percussive way of forming precision holes. Openings can be drilled through all types of material

including reinforced concrete. It’s an effective method of creating holes for the installation of pipes, cables or anchoring bolts and load carrying devices.

In Addition

  • Diamond drilling can also be used to take core samples from 50mm to 200m and to a depth of 2 meters.
  • Water and dust control measures can be adopted to maintain a clean working environment
  • Machines can be operated in horizontal, vertical and inverted positions for use just about anywhere including confined spaces

Inspection

OVERVIEW

Skyline Rope Access Ltd employ qualified and experienced engineers who are able to undertake inspections of steep embankments, cuttings, rock & cliff faces or structures ranging from high rise housing & office blocks, bridges, towers, masts & chimneys to chambers, shafts & tunnels where confined spaces may pose a hazard. Levels of inspection available include:

  • Simple Visual
  • Safety & Quality
  • Full in-depth Condition

Safety & quality surveys will determine whether the fabric of a structure is in a safe & secure condition or can check the quality of workmanship on new & refurbished buildings.

For full in-depth condition survey’s the data collected is collated in a concise & readable report, with schedules of any defects supplemented by photographs & location drawings if required.

This provides a comprehensive picture of the type and location of significant defects both quickly & safely with the minimum disruption so that you can determine the most appropriate & cost effective strategy.

We at Skyline employ specialist abseilers with an extensive knowledge of curtain wall & cladding systems who can identify the causes for the failure & produce detailed reports with proposals & designs for cost effective remedial options

  • Leak detection & water testing
  • Independent review & on site performance testing
  • Quality control inspections of on-site installation processes
  • High level glazing replacement

Rope access is a single source solution; we gain access to the work area & carry out the task, meaning less administration, easier site co-ordination & controlled costs.
