Electronics comprise the most significant change in utility work since 1994, said George Taylor, vice president of operations and engineering with UTILX Corporation. And UTILX has been at the forefront of the developing technology.
In 1984 three engineers at the company’s research and development lab in Kent, WA, succeeded with an innovative drill pipe, signaling the beginning of widespread guided boring.
“Like cowboys bull-dogging in a rodeo, two guys wrestled with a hand-held frill motor while a third engineer braced the spinning drill pipe against his leg,” said Ken Fender, one of the original FlowMole research and development team. “We would push like crazy, stop, add a section of drill pipe, and then do it all over again. To everyone’s amazement, the damned thing came out of the ground exactly where we had steered it.”
