As the first manufacturer to introduce a range of HDD machines that run on electric power, Normag is a trailblazer in the trenchless technology industry.
Using the newest permanent magnet motors and compact power electronics, this marks the first step towards fully electrically powered HDD drill Rig facilities. Through the application of “power on demand”, a 50% fuel saving can easily be achieved. The additional advantages of a lower environmental impact (CO2 emissions), a lower local impact through reduced noise and lower maintenance costs make it clear that these electrically powered machines will become the new standard.
It is now relatively simple to drill from within a building or a tent. A huge amount of highly accurate data is returned from the motors, which will aid in further improving the drilling process. Breakdown detection and certain repairs can be carried out remotely, which is expected to further reduce maintenance costs.
