- My name is John Gregor.
I work for Miller Pipeline.
I'm the HDD Supervisor for the company.
We have a 20-inch steel
project about to happen,
and there's some directional drills on it
that are going to be difficult.
They're gonna be in a rock.
Engineer provided us some
pretty good drawings.
We like to look at it hands-on.
I like to use the Project
Tool to do my own profiles
for the borers.
Before Projects came out,
a lot of times you'd have
to have two guys out there,
you know, and you've
got a level and a pole.
Projects has pretty much eliminated that.
It's really a one-person deal.
You go out there, you get
your iPad out, you pair it up
with a Trimble unit if
that's what you're using,
and you can go to your entry point,
take a shot, go to an important point
where you need to have a certain
amount of depth of cover,
if you're crossing a river or
a creek or a major roadway.
And you can put in your required depths,
and then you go to the
other side, the exit side,
take your shots for your exit,
and it's all done in as long
as it takes for you to walk
from one side to the other,
punch in a couple numbers.
With Vermeer Projects,
I'm able to save myself a
lot of time in the field.
Can do a 500-foot bore in
20 minutes, as opposed to
what used to take couple,
two or three hours.
Vermeer Projects is saving
Miller time every day.
By using Vermeer Projects,
we've been able to help
our customers tremendously.
