The DigiTrak® Eclipse® SST® advanced HDD wireline guidance system is easy to use, delivering quick and accurate steering data. The system eliminates the need for a DC wire grid and its lengthy setup time. Due to the small size of the SST® transmitter, tight turning radii can be achieved.
The SST® system monitors the tool’s compass heading (azimuth) in degrees and provides the operator with a lateral deviation (in degrees) from the intended path for quick steering corrections.
With the Eclipse® receiver and remote display, the operator can view real-time position and depth data. A laptop computer also graphically displays the tool’s progress in real time. It shows both a profile view of the bore and a bird’s-eye view of the lateral deviation.
