HSHA Rate Gyro - In Rods RC/DDH Holes

To ensure maximum directional data recovery we only survey inside the Reverse Circulation (RC) or Diamond Drill Hole (DDH) drill rods with our HSHA Rate Gyro.

A small pulley is attached to a lead rod on the mast and raised to approximately 4m to allow the HSHA Rate Gyro to be winched in and out of the hole safely.

We usually require a drill rig operator present during our directional surveying.

The thin barrel configuration of the HSHA Rate Gyro (42,3m) allows us to survey inside 4" RC rods and inside BQ rod string.

Once the HSHA Rate Gyro has determined the initial azimuth it is run into the hole in high speed mode at 50 meters per minute recording directional data every 5m. In areas where directional drilling or wedging has occurred the interval is reduced to every 1m producing high quality positional data.

An independent QA test is performed at the completion of every hole by taking a single Gyro compass reading. The QA test is used to check against the high speed mode. Acceptable variations are +-0.5 degrees. Your guarantee that our surveys are accurate.
