VACDRILL for rail and infrastructure
Short possessions, fixed scope, no room for rework.
The job
Infrastructure fixings go into tunnel linings, bridge structures, retaining walls and station fabric — heavy concrete, frequently overhead, and usually inside a short access window.
Where the tool fits
Precast tunnel segments and finished concrete structures are good vacuum surfaces.
When the possession is four hours long, consistent first-time-right holes matter more than raw speed, and machine-set depth removes a whole category of rework.
Confined and enclosed
Tunnels concentrate dust. Capture at source is a serious control, not a convenience.
Assurance
Infrastructure clients audit anchor installation. Consistent, specified hole geometry is easier to evidence when it is machine-controlled.
Typical work
- Cable route and containment fixings in tunnels.
- Signalling and equipment mounting.
- Structural restraint and monitoring fixings.
Before you attach
- Precast tunnel segments seal well; sprayed linings generally do not.
- Possession windows are short — surface preparation is faster than rework.
- Enclosed environments concentrate dust; extraction is a real control here.
