Sensitive Hurricane Creek Crossing Solutions
Gregg Wilder, | HDD Division Manager, The ComTran Group
The ComTran Group has 15 drills, ranging from 9K class to 80K class.
We specialize in drilling rock and utilize a mix of AT and Hammers. Our
current project in the Southeastern United States requires us to drill in
some of the most difficult terrain, both elevation and geology. When it
comes to the tough bores, we rely on Underground Magnetics to get
us through. We started with one unit, now have 4, and are planning
on adding more as we retire other units from other manufacturers.
The depth and front locates we are able to work with allow us to avoid
wireline costs and be more productive.
Bore Profile 8/24 2020. Using UMmaps and UM's Precision GPS Navigation,
we set our bore path from start to finish and were able to stay on line using
preplanned GPS path.
The creek crossing and first climb!

OCTOBER 2020 | UCONonline.com
Recently, on a 1350 ft solid rock bore in Alabama, we used our Mag
8 system and an Echo 90 transmitter. This bore was a challenge to say
the least and because of the time restrains, I had a wire line crew on
standby just in case. Using our 6" hammer we drilled at 70' deep to the
bottom of the creek clearing the bottom by 30'. From there we needed
to climb almost 200 feet as fast as possible. While drilling up the side of
the cliffs, we were unable to locate directly over the head. We were still
able to monitor pitch and roll 50 foot off to the side, while running 102
foot deep. We never lost the head, and picked up the front locate again
at 80 foot deep to verify our bore path and come out on target. For us,
this is not an abnormal bore. We encounter multiple bores like this every
month. We started another bore 3 days later that had us running 140'
deep with the Echo 90 and Mag 8, again we could monitor pitch and
clock while we came up. All of this with no wires. The battery technology
of Underground Magnetics allows us multiple working days without
changing batteries and stands up to the vibration of our Air Hammers.
I absolutely recommend Underground Magnetics. Mike Young and his
team have always been available. The Underground Magnetics products
and team have delivered far above expectations. *
