PARATRACK BEACON TRACKER SYSTEM

FOR HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING

The ParaTrack Beacon Tracker is a portable dual-solenoid tracking system designed to enhance the accuracy of the pilot bore phase of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD).

Guidance You Can Trust

By providing a direct measurement between the Steering Tool in the pilot bore and a known surface position, the Beacon Tracker delivers an additional margin of safety prior to punch-out or when crossing adjacent utilities.

Wireless Surface Tracking

Power is provided by a standard 12v automotive battery, delivering all-day operation and flexibility in placement along the alignment. The built-in radio modem enables remote operation of Beacon functions, as well as wireless data transmission to the guidance engineer at the rig.

Power and portability combine to make the Beacon Tracker especially effective when placed on the edge of a waterway for river crossings, cable landings, and outfalls. The powerful magnetic signal transmits at an extremely low frequency (<3 Hz) that maximizes range while minimizing the effects of interference.

The Beacon Tracker System is part of the complete line of HDD guidance tools, available exclusively from your Inrock or Prime Horizontal dealer.

Benefits

  • Provides an external reference without need for surface wires
  • Wireless and portable

Applications

  • HDD pilot bore tracking
