The Drilling and Sawing Association

Since the Drilling & Sawing Association was formed in 1984, main contractors, engineers, architects etc. have increasingly recognised the value of diamond drilling and sawing technology.

This method of cutting is invariably more cost effective than other traditional methods because of its speed, accuracy, time saving and less necessity to make good. Reductions in noise, dust, vibration and debris can provide substantial environmental benefits.

See "Techniques" page for details of:-
- the benefits of drilling & sawing techniques as opposed to traditional methods;
- the various individual drilling & sawing techniques.

The DSA membership consists of Contractor Members and Supplier Members. Contractor Members are specialist companies supplying a professional diamond drilling and sawing service. Other available services can include bursting, crushing and thermic lancing. The Supplier Members provide the specialist machines and tools used in drilling and sawing.

The DSA has built up a membership of approaching 110 companies, and is committed to the development of consistent standards of workmanship and training. Clients can then have confidence in the quality and specification of work offered by our contractor members.

The DSA also has active links with the drilling and sawing associations in other countries through the International Association of Concrete Drillers and Sawers (IACDS).

The DSA provides Training and Accreditation Services through its subsiduary company DSA Training Ltd - Tel: 01773 820000 Fax: 01773 821284 Email: info@dsatraining.co.uk
