Practice Without the Risks of Live Drilling
Learning HDD fundamentals or testing new techniques can be dangerous on a real jobsite. Use the Simulator to practice 200′ bores and get evaluated on a 400′ bore that counts towards your certificate of completion. The course will grade on rotating the magnets, gearbox float, dropping your rod row, greasing your threads, counter rotation, and pitch accuracy.
Incorporate Both Green & Tenured Drill Operators
New operators and experienced drillers alike can benefit from Simulator Training. The focus can be on learning what drilling is and how to do it or honing new techniques and fixing bad habits. There is always more to learn when it comes to HDD.
Dedicate the Worthwhile Time to Train
The training is most effective in groups no larger than 3 people, which usually takes about 4 hours to complete. Our HDD Specialists can be prepared to train up to 6 people in one full day.
Have the Mobile Simulator Come to You
While select Vermeer All Roads locations can facilitate training for your team, our HDD Specialists can also bring the Simulator to wherever you are, from South Carolina to Ohio to Maine.
