HDD Locating and Tracking Systems

The HDD Locating & Tracking System is a high-precision electromagnetic navigation tool engineered for Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and trenchless utility installation. Designed to deliver reliable subterranean guidance, this system provides drill operators with real-time telemetry data to steer the pilot bit accurately, avoid existing underground utilities, and strictly adhere to target bore paths.

It is an essential solution for underground infrastructure projects, including fiber optic deployments, power cable installations, gas pipelines, and water main crossings beneath highways, railways, and rivers.

Key Features & Capabilities

Real-Time Telemetry Tracking: Continuously monitors and transmits critical drilling parameters, including pitch (inclination), roll (clock-face orientation), depth, sonde temperature, and battery life.
Advanced Interference Mitigation: Features multi-frequency signal technology to filter out active and passive electromagnetic interference caused by high-voltage cables, reinforced concrete (rebar), and metal structures.
Exceptional Depth Capability: Delivers precise transmitter detection and high signal retention at extended depths and distances.
High-Visibility Rig Display: Features an intuitive remote display unit mounted directly on the drill rig, giving machine operators clear, real-time graphical feedback under direct sunlight.
Rugged & Weatherproof Design: Sonde housing and receiver units built with high IP ratings to withstand high fluid pressures, vibrations, and severe job site conditions.

System Components Included

Walk-Over Receiver (Locator Unit): Ergonomic handheld receiver used by field operators along the surface path to track sonde signal and direction.
HDD Transmitter (Sonde): High-output subterranean beacon installed inside the drill head housing.
Rig-Mounted Remote Display: Wireless display unit providing real-time steering data directly to the drill machine operator.
Complete Accessory Kit: Heavy-duty protective carrying case, rechargeable lithium battery packs, and rapid charger.
