Pathfinder®

Globaltech Corporation is leading the way in drillers operated Survey Technology. Pathfinder® probes empower drillers to fully survey their own drill-holes accurately eliminating the need for a follow up survey team saving money and time. Pathfinder® technology is extremely easy to use, reliable, robust and supported by quality checks that quantify anomalies thus taking away the burden of reliability from the operator (or driller). Data can be instantly viewed on site or saved directly (without a PC) to a USB memory stick for later analyses by surveyors and/or geologists. Pathtracker® Pro offers 3D images from variable standpoints and provide exact GPS positions anywhere along the hole-path. You can always depend on the survey data provided by Pathfinder®.

3 Pathfinder Variants to Suit Your Needs:

	This is state of the art digital version of the traditional mechanical survey tool used to survey holes (typically in 30m intervals) during drilling. Like its mechanical predecessor the ESS has a timer which is pre-set by the driller but in this case the timer and countdown is displayed on the handheld controller that remains with the driller during a survey so the driller knows precisely when the survey is completed & knows exactly when to pull out the tool and continue with the drilling.
	The S@W has the same function as the ESS but it’s designed where it is difficult for the driller to estimate the time required to place the tool in the survey position. Instead of pre-setting a timer the driller simply inserts the tool into the drill-hole and when the survey position is reached the driller starts the survey from the handheld controller. The survey is then taken and the handheld will confirm survey completion so the driller can retrieve the tool and commence drilling.
	The EMS is typically used after the drilling is ended. The EMS gets attached to the front of the core barrel and then sent to the end of the hole. The EMS is pulled out as the drill rods are removed. Each time a rod is removed the driller can initiate a survey at that interval from the handheld controller. Therefore a high resolution multi-shot survey along the entire hole-path can be acquired as the rods are being pulled out eliminating the need to deploy a follow up survey team.
