  • Survey tool system for blast hole drilling rigs
    Patent number: 12698704
    Abstract: A survey tool system (100) for surveying deviation of a previously drilled hole (10, 20) from a selected hole path (30) comprises: an assembly of drill pipe sections (55) co-operable with said previously drilled hole (10, 20); and at least one sensor (125) included within the assembly of drill pipe sections (55) for collecting survey data including data correlated with deviation of said previously drilled hole (10, 20) from said selected hole path (30). A processor (130) processes data collected from the at least one sensor (125) and determines deviation of the previously drilled hole (10, 20) from the selected path (30) for said previously drilled hole (10, 20).
