The smart locator
Our drills use a smart locator called the DigiTrak Falcon F5. A small sender rides behind the drill head and sends signals up through the ground. A crew member walks above it with the locator, which shows how deep the drill head is and which way it is going.
The locator also keeps a record of the bore. After the work, those records go to Drillbert, who turns them into clean maps and reports.
