THE NEW GRUNDODRILL GENERATION

THE NEW DIMENSION OF DRILLING

Horizontal Directional Drilling is a complex process, which places equally diverse demands on machine technology. The intensive examination of these requirements from the user’s point of view led to a unique development process in which we questioned every detail and rethought every component.  The result is the new GRUNDODRILL generation with a ground-breaking concept, allowing for utmost flexibility and maximum productivity in steerable trenchless pipe installations. Thanks to the trend-setting combination of innovative technology and maximum digitisation, this is easier than you may think – or “simple & easy” as we say.

WITH THE NEW GRUNDODRILL GENERATION, TRACTO-TECHNIK OFFERS A COMPLETE SERIES WITH SIX MODELS IN THE PERFORMANCE CLASSES FROM 60 TO 280 KN, WITH THE INTEGRATED CONCEPT CONVINCING IN EVERY RESPECT.

The modular construction for different machine sizes and a multitude of options allow the user to configure his drilling rig from this kit according to his individual requirements.

The modular construction for different machine sizes and a multitude of options allow the user to configure his drilling rig from this kit according to his individual requirements.

Due to the unique machine concept, the complete series can be used as a Jet Condition System (JCS) with normal rods in conventional soils, or as an All Condition System (ACS) with twin-tube rods in complex geologies and rocks.

The extensive automation of all processes enables remote-controlled drilling with the help of a specially developed, innovative remote control.

Intelligent software solutions that centrally link planning, execution, billing, documentation and service, allow for individual control and increase of productivity.

The intuitive operating concept, with almost all functions of the drilling rig being controlled via a central touch screen, is consistently tailored to the needs of the operator. This allows ergonomic and fatigue-free working with an increased degree of automation.

FURTHER INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
  MOBILE COMMAND CENTRE

The unique and innovative operating concept of the new GRUNDODRILL generation is the result of a thorough, in-depth development process in close cooperation with drill masters and experts in ergonomics and biomechanics. By combining state-of-the-art control technology with intelligent software and a high degree of automation, the operator can concentrate more than ever on his most important activity – drilling.

  OPERATION ”SIMPLE & EASY“
  • The entire operating concept is self-explanatory and intuitive – comparable to modern smartphones or tablets.
  • The automation of all processes and work steps leads to an increase in productivity and to a relief of the operator.
  • All central functions of the drilling rig can also be controlled manually as an alternative
  • Total overview:An integrated camera concept automatically provides the operator with an optimum overview of all relevant areas of the drilling rig at all times.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

A FLEXIBLE MODULAR SYSTEM

 

Due to the modular construction of the new GRUNDODRILL generation, it is possible to configure each drilling rig individually. A selection of almost forty options allows the user to flexibly equip his drilling rig according to its application range and the desired comfort.

That way, you only pay for the features you really need for your tasks.

In addition, numerous other options are available, such as central lubrication, camera monitoring, high-pressure cleaners or mounting kits for cable-guided drilling. Our sales staff will be happy to advise you on the configuration of your individual drilling rig.

REVOLUTIONARY IN ALL PERFORMANCE CLASSES INNOVATION DOWN TO THE LAST DETAIL

The well thought-out construction of the new GRUNDODRILL generation combines numerous innovative individual solutions into a future-oriented and unique overall concept. 

All models in the range have the same outstanding features that ensure maximum power for thrust, rotation and drilling fluid is always available.

  • INTELLIGENT CONTROL CONCEPT
  • POWERFUL ROTARY DRIVE
  • MAXIMUM DRILLING FLUID OUTPUT
  • EFFECTIVE THRUST

COMFORT OPERATOR CABIN – THE PERFECT WORKPLACE

The design and equipment of the comfort operator’s cabin have been consistently adapted to the needs of the operator. In combination with the camera concept, large panoramic windows offer an optimum all-round view and eliminate the need to swivel the cabin during operation. This makes it possible to work even in the tightest of spaces. The significantly enlarged cabin, in combination with an optimised cabin suspension and an ergonomic and optionally air-suspended seat, becomes the perfect workplace.

FURTHER FEATURES:

  • Central locking, electronic immobiliser, numerous shelves and charging sockets, bottle cooler, radio with Bluetooth hands-free kit
  • Optional: air conditioning or automatic climate control

NEW PERSPECTIVES: REMOTE CONTROLLED DRILLING

The drilling rigs of the new GRUNDODRILL generation can be operated completely by remote control even in drilling mode. Due to the intelligent operating concept, all functions of the drilling rig can be conveniently controlled and monitored from outside the operator’s cabin using a specially designed remote control unit.

This particularly hard-wearing device, which is suitable for construction sites, combines the same operating elements that are located in the cabin with an outdoor tablet, which is used as the central operating unit of the machine control system.

  • All control elements of the cabin and the remote control are identical in function, form and arrangement. This allows the equipment operator to choose freely and to switch quickly and smoothly between the different operating modes.
  • In combination with the new camera concept, full control of the entire drilling rig is always guaranteed, even when operating with the remote control.
  • Reduced downtimes on the construction site due to increased flexibility. Short-term personnel bottlenecks – e.g. when mixing new drilling fluid – can be bridged by the equipment operator operating the drilling rig and the locating technology simultaneously.
  • New perspectives for the operator – for example: Monitoring of the drilling fluid backflow or the pipe pulling process in the target pit, optical control when bypassing existing pipes and obstacles, etc.
The GRUNDODRILL remote control unit increases safety and flexibility in daily use on the job site and the efficiency when drilling. As simple as possible.

INTEGRATED LOCATION SOLUTION

The integration of the DCI location display into the control concept of the new GRUNDODRILL generation is a unique feature that sets new standards in the HDD market. By merging drilling equipment and locating technology into a single unit, all relevant data is brought together centrally to further simplify the drilling process.
  • One central screen for machine data and location information – even with remote drilling
  • Compatible with DCI locating systems F1, F2, F5 and Falcon F1, Falcon F2, Falcon F5
  • The integration of all DCI settings and the adaptation of the Look & Feel to the TRACTO-TECHNIK environment simplifies the introduction and training of new operators.
  • Contributes decisively to the fast and more sustainable training of new specialists – drill masters and locating technicians can follow the drill head together.

FAST LOADERS WITH GROWTH POTENTIAL

The new GRUNDODRILL generation’s rod magazine combines a large magazine capacity with an innovative and flexible reloading concept.
 
This clever solution guarantees very short cycle times when changing drill rods and minimum effort when reloading or removing drill rods for particularly long bores.

  • INTELLIGENT STOCK KEEPING
  • RELIABLE AND FAST THROUGH ALL GEOLOGIES
