Diamond win for Coventry drill business
Coventry-based drilling specialist Diamond Drill has been hired by cement and concrete supplier Cemex to clear out waste material from its production plant in Rugby.
Cemex, which generates more than £1bn worth of global annual sales, has appointed Diamond Drill to blast holes through the refractory of the kiln that processes materials into cement.
Stuart Gould, a D-Drill technician, said: “There is occasionally a build-up of material within the refractory and it needed blasting out – it was our job to drill the holes to allow that to happen.
“It’s a very important operation for Cemex because it would have halted production had it not been resolved.”
The contract win comes after Diamond Drill’s award win at the International Concrete Drilling and Sawing Association Project Awards in Las Vegas.
