Rodded Boretrak
Measuring Borehole DeviationRB
The Boretrak® provides a unique solution which can be used for downhole and uphole use. The system is non-magnetic and therefore can be used in areas of ferrous materials and hole casings.

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.

This is the most versatile system for measuring borehole deviation. Uphole surveys can be carried out with this system by fitting extra sensors and modifying the joints.
MDL's Boretrak® 3D software is used to process the data and produce a hard copy of the results. Holes can be displayed individually or in any combination to determine hole separations.

Non-Magnetic Borehole Deviation System

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