The exclusive agreement between Vermeer and the manufacturer of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) air hammers will allow customers to access new systems through the global Vermeer dealer network.
Vermeer spokesman Dave Wisniewski said “This agreement provides our customers with access to a proven rock boring system that can enhance rock boring productivity.”
“HDD contractors are looking for better solutions to bore through rock and Pioneer One has a system that can help complete the job.”
Pioneer directional drilling air hammers are designed to bore through difficult rock formations using a combination of thrust, pressure and rotation to chip and carve rock from a hole.
The Prospector system is available in 3 and 4 inch sizes and features advanced steering capabilities.
Pioneer One also offers a variety of custom-designed Prospector bits to match various ground conditions.
