Record Bore Path
Record Bore Path
Locate drill head every half-length of pipe. As the job is completed, record the actual data for each drill
pipe. List pitch and depth of each joint and a brief description of the procedure. In addition, draw a simple
sketch of the site and record depth and rough location of pullback.
The Trac Management System Plus is also available for plotting and tracking your bore path. It utilizes the
tracking system, a tracking beacon, and special software. The tracking display can store jobs in its memory
or the system can be run in the field using a laptop computer. See your Ditch Witch dealer for details.
Surface Drill Head
Moving tools will kill or injure. Shut off drill string power when anyone can
be struck by moving or thrown tools. Never use pipe wrenches on drill string.
Turning shaft will kill you or crush arm or leg. Stay away.
To help avoid injury:
• Tracker operator and drill operator should maintain two-way communication.
• Keep everyone clear of the exposed drill string.
• No one should enter pit until clear communication is given by the drill operator that the drill unit is
shut down. If using tracker control, do not enter pit until tracker control is turned off and green light
on drill unit is lit.
• Drill operator should be instructed to discontinue drill string rotation as soon as drill bit exits the
bore. Use thrust only to extend drill string beyond exit hole.
