SmartDriller for PC

Do you need to design and adjust drilling paths in real time while working on-site? SmartDriller puts HDD operator tools directly on your desktop, letting you sketch pilot bore routes, manage pipe specifications, and track hang calculations without switching between devices. Built for horizontal directional drilling teams, this app turns complex path planning into a desktop workflow you can refine as conditions change.

SmartDriller on PC transforms how operators plan and execute drilling operations. The app's core purpose (designing pilot bore paths with live recalculation) works best when anchored to a full computer setup, where you can keep project files open, reference multiple datasets, and input pipe specifications without interruption.

Designing Drilling Paths at Your Desk

The app lets you build drilling paths either automatically or by hand, using an Earth surface sectional view and utilities trunks displayed on-screen. You can adjust automatically generated paths, set bending percent limits, and input drilling pipe operating lengths directly into a live Pipe Table. On a desktop, these tasks stay organized across a single workspace: no toggling between smaller screens. The automatic recalculation feature means your path adjustments and pipe data updates synchronize instantly, so the app stays useful throughout an active drilling session.

Measurement and Reference Systems

SmartDriller supports both metric and Imperial measurement systems, and it handles integral and fractional input values, letting teams work in their preferred units. The app calculates hang in percent and degrees, giving you precise angle data to reference while monitoring operations. Underground utilities and wells can be drawn on the plane itself, so every critical element sits in one visual map. Saving and loading projects means you can pull up past job configurations, compare them to current work, and build on established templates without starting from scratch.

Building Earth Surface and Site Data

You design Earth surface conditions through both graphic and tabular methods, adapting the entry style to your workflow and site conditions. With SmartDriller for Windows PC, you can maintain detailed project records, storing drilling parameters, utility locations, and path designs for future reference. This setup keeps all site-specific data in one place, letting you and your team access job history and performance notes whenever planning new operations or reviewing past work.
