Precise Drill Alignment

True North Surveys has lined up over 500 drill holes that reached their target.

Drill alignment in drilling operations refers to the process of ensuring that the drill is accurately positioned and oriented according to the desired trajectory. It is a critical aspect of drilling, especially in applications such as directional drilling or when precision is essential.

Before drilling begins, the engineers and geologist define a target path that the drill steels need to follow. This path is determined based on project requirements, geological considerations, and the desired location for reaching resources or completing a specific task.

Using conventional survey equipment like GPS and Total Station True North Surveys has lined up over 500 diamond and R.C drill holes that reached their target with low deviation tolerance. This include adjusting the dip angle and azimuth direction of the drill to navigate through specific geological layers or to reach a target zone accurately.
