Diamond Drilling Hire Has High Consumable Costs and Application Precision Requirements
A diamond core barrel costs hundreds of pounds and lasts a finite number of metres. Without tracking blade wear per hire, operators send out worn barrels that drill slowly, overheat, and fail mid-job — generating customer complaints and replacement costs. Matching the right blade specification to the concrete strength is equally critical and rarely documented without a proper system.
Diamond Drilling Hire That Maximises Blade Life and Job Success
Core Barrel Metre Tracking
Log metres drilled per barrel per hire — worn barrels rotated out before they fail and replaced transparently.
Concrete Strength Specification Matching
Record concrete strength and aggregate type per booking — blade specification matched to substrate for optimum performance.
Water Suppression System Records
Log water pump condition and flow rate per rig — silica dust suppression compliance documented per hire.
Rig and Stand Condition Checks
Inspect anchor bolt condition, feed mechanism, and motor brushes per rig on return — maintenance triggered before next hire.
For Specialist Hire Depots Serving Structural and Utility Drilling Contractors
Diameter and Depth Capability Records
Store core diameter range and maximum depth per rig — customers confirm application is within machine specification at booking.
Wall Saw Sub-Fleet
Manage wall saws and wire saws alongside core drills — separate inventory, compatible blade consumable tracking.
Consumable Blade Sales
Sell diamond blades and core barrels alongside rig hire — stock adjusts automatically, consumable revenue tracked.
Structural Engineer and Contractor Accounts
Structural engineers, M&E contractors, and concrete cutting firms get credit accounts with monthly invoicing.

Diamond Drilling Hire Software — Common Questions
Staff log the metres drilled per barrel at each return. The system accumulates total metres per barrel and flags any barrel approaching replacement threshold — preventing worn barrels going out on the next job.
Each booking captures the concrete compressive strength and aggregate type. The system cross-references these against your blade stock and recommends the appropriate segment specification — reducing blade failures and customer callbacks.
Water pump condition and flow rate are checked and logged per rig before every hire. The record demonstrates that adequate water suppression was provided — supporting the customer's silica dust control documentation under COSHH.
Yes — blades and core barrels are consumable items in the system. Customers add them to their booking at the counter or online. Stock levels adjust automatically and consumable margin is tracked separately from rig hire revenue.
