Wireless HDD Guidance/HDD Steering
Incredible accuracy. No wire splicing. Perfect for double rod drills.
Accuracy
Our specialized guidance sonde sends us reliable, consistent data without the need of a walkover for bores that require absolute precision. We are unmatched in the HDD steering field.
wireless Communication
No more splicing wires or tripping out because of a break. Our tool communicates wirelessly using our patented technology with very little setup time, and uses high quality lithium batteries for long-term sustainable power.
any rig, anytime
Our tool has been designed with double rod rigs in mind, and can be used with even the largest rigs Ditch Witch has to offer. Single rod rig? We work with you too.

About Us
Savant Guidance uses its own in-house HDD steering system as an upgrade to the more traditional wired system technology. It not only eliminates maintenance costs, but also eliminates lost time due to splicing costs and failed wireline repair trip-outs. Additional savings result from the increased drilling efficiency that is provided with accurate and easily assimilated graphical presentations of drilling progress relative to the planned trajectory. Our steering system may be operated by a steer hand and/or the driller from the cab of the drill. The Savant steering system is wireless through-the-earth telemetry, which eliminates the need for expensive and troublesome wirelines.
Our technology
Our patented steering system is unlike anything else on the market. Thanks to our two independent sets of data, we can steer through regions where interference would leave you struggling to figure out where you were going. Our wireless communication allows us to go places that would normally be impractical, such as large water crossing or underneath interstates.
