“With its many, and easy-to-use, options for designing and monitoring, our DrillGrade System leads to greater accuracy and increased safety,” said Randy Noland, vice president and director of machine control for Carlson. “The system then dramatically lowers costs because accurate drilling equals better blasting, which in turn equals better fragmentation, leading to lower downstream costs.”
The Carlson Drill Grade System promotes safety on the site by keeping the operator in the cab and out of harm’s way, thanks to the system’s stakeless drill pattern layout. In addition, the DrillGrade System has both audio and visual alarms to alert operators of avoidance zones. Alarms are triggered if a proximity zone is breached.
