Case studies

Hong Kong International

Chek Lap Kok Airport is the fifth busiest international passenger airport and the busiest international cargo facilities in the world.

Xcalibre Equipment Ltd was involved in the construction of the new airport, we supplied hydraulically powered diamond drilling equipment which was used to test the integrity of the newly laid runways.

The drills take a sample core which can then be analysed by experts to ensure it meets specific standards.

Second Severn Bridge

The crossing over the River Severn, UK, joining England and Wales, the crossing is 3.186 miles (5.127 km) long.

We provided the equipment to drill the 19,000 holes for the crash barrier installation.

Home to some of the most influential people in English history.

English Heritage commissioned Xcalibre Equipment Ltd to take core samples of the sandstone walls of the castle so that their present condition could be monitored.

The Magnum Hand Held Core Drill was successfully used on this occasion.

Swimming pool repair with our underwater drilling

Our drills can even be used underwater, ideal for swimming pool repairs and eliminating the need to drain the pool.

Underwater drilling can save you time and money on this project to drain the pool would have taken 2 days!
