Guide Tracks Surveys & Alignment

On a derrick, the travelling gear moves vertically on guide rails to feed the drill pipe during drilling. Regular maintenance of the guide rails to ensure correct alignment is vital to maintain continuous operations.

SSI regularly carries out Guide track alignments; from installation, survey & final alignment on the new build derricks we have erected, to field repairs, replacement, modifications and alignment checks on existing tracks.

Surveys are carried out using either a SOKKIA Total Station, a rotating laser, or laser detectors and measuring devices, depending on specific operating conditions.
