An HDD project is more than the rig. A different tool set works at every stage from pilot bore to pullback: rods, directional bit, sonde housing, locator, reamer, swivel and thread adapters. Boremak supplies all of them from stock in İzmir, compatible with different rig brands.
Vermeer- and Ditch Witch-compatible sizes plus a special Midi/Maxi series; S145 and S135 heat-treated steel.

At the end of the rod string leaving the rig sits a directional bit (soft ground) or a rock bit (hard ground). The transmitter inside the sonde housing just behind it is read from the surface by the locator; the operator corrects depth and heading from that reading.
Once the pilot bore is through, the bit comes off, a reamer goes on at the exit side and the rod string is pulled back to enlarge the hole in stages above the pipe diameter. Soil class sets the reamer type; target diameter sets the number of passes.
On the final pass a swivel and pulling head are fitted between the reamer and the pipe. The swivel stops the rod rotation being transferred to the pipe; the pulling head carries the pipe against the force.
Rod tables give sizes and torque figures per Vermeer and Ditch Witch model; adapters bridge different thread standards. Sonde housings and swivels are chosen by your rig thread and pullback class. Buy them together with STETON HDD rigs or separately for the rig you already own.
Drill rods, a directional bit or rock bit, a sonde housing, locator and transmitter, reamers, a swivel, a pulling head and thread adapters. Bentonite and consumables come on top.
The rig thread standard and torque capacity come first; then rod diameter, length and minimum bend radius. A rod must not have a lower maximum torque than the rig. The rod page lists sizes and torque figures for Vermeer and Ditch Witch models.
The usual rule is a final reamed diameter of about 1.5 times the pipe outside diameter; the passes are planned from soil class and rig capacity. Mixing reamers for clay, fly-cutters for gravel, hammer reamers for rock.
Side-load and rear-load housings are available for common transmitters such as DCI, Subsite and Radiodetection, and for different rig thread standards. Tell us your transmitter model and rig thread.
Yes. Compatible rods, adapters and tooling for Vermeer, Ditch Witch and other brands ship from stock alongside STETON.
