The locating systems from industry-leading manufacturer DIGITAL CONTROL combine state-of-the-art technology with decades of locating expertise.

During the pilot hole, the operator needs to be constantly aware of the orientation and position of the bore head to be able to rotate the drill rod in the desired drilling direction or to be able to correct the direction in case of deviations from the planned drilling path. This is achieved by using a walkover system. In addition to sufficient frequency bandwidth, depth range and data range, the locating system must be as insensitive as possible to interference signals. DCI's technology sets the standard in the industry.

For steerable drilling with the GRUNDOPIT mini drilling system and GRUNDODRILL drilling rigs, we recommend the following locating systems:

DigiTrak Falcon F1+®.

The easy-to-use and affordable F1 is optimal for short and shallow boreholes, e.g. for house connections with the GRUNDOPIT PS40 or GRUNDOPIT PS60

DigiTrak Falcon F2+®

The DigiTrak F2 locating system has a reputation as a workhorse that provides reliable locating for standard drilling applications with the GRUNDOPIT PS60 or GRUNDODRILL 5X.

DigiTrak ARES®

The ARES is one of the most advanced HDD tracking systems on the market and sets new standards in precision and efficiency with its automatic, AI-assisted frequency selection, intelligent signal processing and quick setup. It is ideal for demanding, complex drilling operations and is perfectly suited for use with GRUNDODRILL drilling rigs.
