Simplify HDD Drill Tooling Configurations Adapted from Information by Ditch Witch Ditch Witch’s HDD Advisor was created to simplify tooling configuration and streamline parts purchasing for horizontal directional drill (HDD) operators. This online platform helps operators minimize downtime by quickly configuring a drill for a job and easily connecting with a local dealer’s inventory to access the parts needed. Historically, identifying the proper tooling for jobsites has been a time-consuming and paper-intensive process. Using HDD Advisor, operators and dealers can quickly get the correct configurations and solutions by answering a few questions about the drill, drill pipe, and jobsite. The platform automatically populates all the possible options for building out a drill string. For added peace of mind, HDD Advisor only allows users to select tooling that will correctly configure with each drill. “HDD crews can save crucial time and money with this easyto-use platform,” said Josh Kennedy, product marketing manager for HDD tooling & drill pipe for Ditch Witch. “HDD Advisor gives drill operators the confidence to quickly and correctly select downhole tool options - everything from the drill pipe to the back reamer - to match the drill unit they’re using and soil conditions on the job. And, if parts break, HDD Advisor allows contractors to verify their local dealer has the needed parts to get them back up and running on the job.” HDD Advisor includes the option to save drill string configurations for future reference and to simplify the ordering of replacement parts. Operators can also share drill string configurations with their dealer and print or e-mail summaries. DIR
