How do you get into directional drilling?
To become a directional driller, you need excellent mathematical and problem-solving skills, an understanding of mechanics, and patience. Attend a program at a directional drilling school; such programs can last up to eight weeks and teach the necessary skills and responsibilities of directional drilling.
What is HDD training?
HDD simulator training provides an opportunity for new operators to gain familiarization and understanding of machine controls to learn proper operating procedures. Experienced operators can benefit by refining skills to increase productivity levels. Contact your dealer to set up a simulator training session.
What do you do at Ditch Witch?
The Ditch Witch was designed to dig small trenches. There have been machines such as steam shovels and wheel trenchers available for more than a century to dig big trenches, but such machines are unsuitable for small trenches such as the ones used to carry water, power and telephone lines.
What does a directional drill locator do?
A Directional Drill Locator at Team Fishel will interpret the signals sent from underground transmitters about location, angle, temperature and other factors for the drill operator, who operates the drill.

What is horhorizontal directional drilling?
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD), also known as directional boring, is a minimal impact trenchless construction technique used to install underground pipelines, conduits, cables or any other utility along a predefined path.
What is Stage 3 of the horizontal directional drilling process?
Stage 3 of the horizontal directional drilling process is p ullback. Once the directionally drilled hole is enlarged, the conduit can be pulled through it. The pipeline is prefabricated at the end of the bore opposite the drill rig. A reamer is attached to the drill string, and then connected to the product by a pulling head and swivel.
What is a horizontal drilling rig?
The components of a horizontal drilling rig used for pipeline construction are similar to those of an oil well drilling rig with the major exception being that a horizontal drilling rig is equipped with an inclined ramp as opposed to a vertical mast. HDD pilot hole operations are not unlike those involved in drilling a directional oil well.
How does directiondirectional drilling software work?
Directional drilling software receives input from multiple measurements while drilling (MWD) sensors in the drill bit, and at any branches or junctions. (Other measurement tools include Electromagnetic MWD and Global Positioning Sensors (GPS)).
