CHECKING LINE & GRADE

No need to pull augers to check line and grade, saving time and money.

REAL TIME STEERING

Steering adjustments are made from the from the safety from the launch pit.

Efficiency on the Job. Completes longer on-grade bores compared to other methods, at a reduced cost, while helping contractors complete more bores in a time-efficient manner.
