The TX-300 Borehole & Shaft Inspection Camera takes downhole inspections to the next level with higher clarity imaging, adjustable LED lighting, and on-screen depth/orientation overlay. It is the professional’s choice for mining, hydrogeology, geotechnical and civil engineering where detail and reliability are critical.
A rugged reel and heavy-duty cable support deeper inspections while maintaining smooth deployment and retrieval. The control unit streamlines on-site work with fast setup, intuitive operation and one-touch recording for clear video and stills, so your team spends more time inspecting and less time configuring equipment.
Key Features
- Pan & Tilt camera head for fine crack detection, casing evaluation and clear geological observation.
- Adjustable LED array to balance brightness in clear water, turbid wells or dry shafts.
- Depth & orientation overlay gives every frame precise context for rapid decision-making.
- Rugged reel & cable engineered for repeat deployment at extended depths.
- Pro-grade recording for high-quality video and still images ready for clients and regulators.
- Panoramic / 360° viewing to reduce multiple passes in wide shafts.
Technical Design & Performance
Underground conditions change with depth, turbidity and geometry. The TX-300 addresses this with a professional quality pan & tilt camera head and adjustable LED array that can be tuned to the environment. The on-screen depth overlay ensures every clip and still image is referenceable to a precise location, making it easier to plan remediation and document outcomes.
The heavy-duty reel and cable are engineered to handle extended depths and frequent deployment. The control unit prioritises speed and simplicity — quick boot, intuitive controls and direct recording/export workflows that cut time on site.
Applications
- Mining & geology — shaft wall inspection, water ingress detection, void identification and post-blast checks.
- Hydrogeology & water wells — deep casing checks, leak detection, screen verification and repair assurance.
- Civil foundations — drilled piles, caissons and deep shafts for structural validation and QA.
- Environmental monitoring — aquifer layers, plume boundaries, screen intervals and contamination screening.
- Research & universities — high-fidelity visuals for subsurface studies and teaching labs.
Benefits & ROI
- Reduce rework by confirming conditions before committing to costly excavation or drilling.
- Accelerate decisions with high quality clarity and precise depth/orientation context.
- Raise client confidence by supplying professional-grade footage and findings.
- Support compliance with accurate records for audits and regulators.
- Win tenders by demonstrating advanced inspection capability and documentation.
Efficient Field Workflow
- Prepare — position the reel, connect the control unit and verify camera/lighting operation.
- Deploy — lower steadily; adjust LED intensity for the clearest wall detail.
- Capture — record clear video with overlays; take stills at key depths.
- Annotate — note depth/orientation for each finding; add operator commentary as required.
- Export — offload files in common formats; attach to reports for stakeholders and regulators.
TX-300 vs Standard Systems
Where standard borehole cameras struggle with detail or depth, the TX-300 delivers HQ fidelity, tunable illumination and accurate data overlays. If you need to confirm micro-fractures, subtle casing defects or fine stratigraphic boundaries at extended depths, the TX-300 provides the clarity and context to act with confidence.
TX-300 FAQs
How deep can the TX-300 inspect?
Depth is 300m in standard configuration, but can be optionally extended to 500m. The platform is designed for extended-depth inspections in mining, hydrogeology and civil foundations.
Is the video clear?
Yes — the system records high-quality video and stills for analysis and reporting using standard file formats.
Is it suitable for water-filled wells?
Yes. The industrial camera head is designed for submerged use. The camera head is waterproof to 2,000m.
Is panoramic / 360° viewing available?
Yes, panoramic viewing can reduce multiple passes in wide shafts and improve coverage.
