Our in-house manufactured borehole probe was developed for the rapid and precise inspection of boreholes. Incorrect drilling angles, inaccurate drilling depths and deviations of the boreholes from the intended trajectory often lead to serious problems during blasting operations. The system offers an efficient and cost-effective way to detect drilling inaccuracies and to initiate appropriate countermeasures based on the results.
The system calculates deviations of the borehole from the intended trajectory at user-defined depth intervals using data from the integrated tilt sensor and digital compass. Detailed assessments of the borehole trajectory can be made directly in the field.
For further data processing in the QuarryX software, the borehole survey data can also be combined with the 3D fracture face models from the Pulsar 3D FastScan Profiler. This enables precise and comprehensive blast planning for increased safety and efficiency in every blast.
