Abstract

The invention relates to systems for monitoring the angles of the bottom of the borehole for horizontal directional drilling (HDD), used when performing works on trenchless laying of engineering communications. A system for monitoring the profile of the borehole bottom at the stages of reaming during the construction of communications using the method of horizontal directional drilling, which contains a computer, software installed on it for processing and constructing a profile of the bottom of the borehole, is made with the ability to connect to the computer a device for monitoring the angles of the bottom of the borehole. At the same time, the device for monitoring the angles of the bottom of the borehole consists of a housing with accelerometers installed in it, an electronic board with a processor, a device for recording and storing information, and a power source. EFFECT: providing the possibility of determining and controlling the angles of the borehole trajectory after each reaming to correct the geometry of inserting the siphon head into the borehole, providing real statistical data on the geometry of the borehole, processing them and building a profile of the borehole bottom.

Claims (5)

1. A system for monitoring angles of a profile of a bottom of a borehole at stages of reaming during construction of communications using a method of horizontal directional drilling, the system comprising:

a computer with installed software for processing and building a profile of the bottom of the borehole after each reaming and configured to connect a device for monitoring angles of the bottom of the borehole to the computer,

the device for monitoring the angles of the bottom of the borehole comprising a housing, the device for monitoring being spaced apart from and in the borehole behind a reamer during reaming;

the housing comprising accelerometers, an electronic board with a processor, a device for recording and storing information of the angles of the profile of the bottom of the borehole obtained during each stage of reaming, and a power source.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the device for monitoring the angles of the bottom of the borehole is connected to the computer via a cable.
