Auger Hawk – Screw Pile and Drilling Thrust Performance Torque Measurement

Q: What solutions can Datum Electronics offer to help me measure the torque on my helical screw pile installation?

Datum’s Auger Hawk system is designed to allow helical screw pile operators to be able to record and prove the integrity and correct successful implementation of their machinery. Quick and easy to install, Auger Hawk will show a range of parameters such as Torque, Angle, Thrust, RPM and depth monitoring all in one simple smartphone app. Data is logged and can be stored in a database for later retrieval if required for monitoring and verification purposes.

Introducing Auger Hawk

The Auger Hawk C441© helical screw pile torque, thrust, angle rpm measurement system is a wireless completely contactless highly accurate torque sensor for those who need to confidently measure and verify heavy duty torque for insertion of helical screw piles.

For 8 years now, The C441 Helical Screw Pile Torque Measurement Systems (and its predecessor C440) quickly become established as the industry standard for the Helical (Screw) Pile foundation insertion, Drilling and Digging industries, where torque monitoring relating to pile insertion is of paramount importance.

This application monitors WiFi enabled shaft mounted torque transducers. Displaying measured torque, shaft angle and RPM. It is able to log all raw transducer data during drilling operations and email the file to the operator.

Helical Screw Pile Torque Monitoring

In the past, a method of assessing the integrity of a helical screw pile was by estimating the hydraulic back pressure generated using visual hydraulic gauges and recording this data by hand. This process was both time and labor intensive and generally had very poor accuracy of between 10-30%.

The C441 helical screw pile measurement system has an accuracy rating of better than 0.25% with its data wirelessly transmitted effortlessly to an Apple or Android app. The data can also be emailed from within the apps and exported to other software including Microsoft Office programs, such as Excel, for easy analysis and storage.

The C441 Torque Monitoring System is easy to introduce to any Helical Screw Pile torque measurement system and allows for a far simpler, more accurate, efficient and reliable method of installation and reliable method of installation giving a greater sense of confidence in any foundation Piles being installed.
