Rodded Boretrak®

Product number: 7001

Non-magnetic Borehole Deviation System

Incorrect setting of drill angles, borehole wander and drilling to incorrect depths, results in service problems particularly in the mining, quarrying and construction industries. MDL have designed the Boretrak® non-magnetic borehole deviation system as a means of auditing the results of drilling activity, quickly and accurately.

The Rodded Boretrak® is a unique, cost effective, portable non-magnetic, non-gyro borehole deviation surveying system. As the system is not affected by magnetic influences, flooded holes or casing, the Rodded Boretrak® can be used during or immediately after drilling to assess deviation.

The system features lightweight alignment rods that are continuously connected by a single axis hinge system used to lower the measurement head down a borehole. The sensor head calculates the borehole's deviation from the vertical at fixed intervals using inclinometer sensors located within the measurement head. The output from these sensors is compiled on a data logger in the field and then transferred to a PC for post processing.

MDL's Boretrak® 3D software allows the user to process data and produce printed and/or plotted results, typically, within 30 minutes of observation. Data can also be easily integrated into a wide range of software packages including MDL's comprehensive rock profiling package, Face 3D where it can also be merged with a face scan for a comprehensive and accurate burden analysis of the complete blast.
