Decommissioning Diamond Drilling & Grinding

Decommissioning diamond drilling and grinding consumables are used extensively in the decommissioning industry. Grinding is used to remove contamination left behind like rust, residues, paint or corrosion. Often when parts are removed, they are irregular and need a certain amount of preparation to enable them to be disposed of or recycled. In the oil and gas industry, when pipelines are decommissioned, cut and brought to the surface, there is a thick protective coating which requires specialist removal so the pipes can be recycled or put back into use. Removal of this coating can be undertaken with specialist twist knot wire drums and flap drums. All these products are available from Prime Industrial Direct and are made to exact customer requirements. Diamond drilling in decommissioning is used in the oil and gas, nuclear energy and mining industries. In the nuclear industry, its often used for taking samples to analyse structural integrity and to assess certain areas of the nuclear plant safely. Diamond drill bits can drill through steel and concrete and this is very beneficial in the oil and gas industry where offshore and onshore platforms may require drilling work to be undertaken
