Raise Borer Audit App

Raise Borer Audit App turns raise borer audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each raise borer against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare raise borer audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.

What is Raise Borer Audit App?

Raise Borer Audit App runs a scored raise borer audit covering mast, gearbox, and thrust bearing, drill string, stabilisers, and reamer, hydraulic and lubrication systems, guards and rotation controls, and water and cuttings management, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, raise borer findings live on paper and in chat. A raise borer fault such as thrust bearing wear slips through. An audit then means rebuilding raise borer evidence from folders.

Raise Borer Audit App keeps one record per raise borer and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each raise borer finding is tracked to verified closure. Raise boring crews see raise borer completion and overdue actions across the mining portfolio. Every raise borer record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What to Include in a Raise Borer Audit App?

A comprehensive raise borer audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit raise borer operations with weighted scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking. Your audit should include sections for mast, gearbox, and thrust bearing; drill string, stabilisers, and reamer; and hydraulic and lubrication systems, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.

How to Use Raise Borer Audit App

A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a raise borer audit:

  1. Open the raise borer audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
  2. Score each raise borer against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
  3. Let the app calculate the section and overall raise borer score so the site is comparable to others.
  4. Raise a corrective action for each failed raise borer criterion with an owner and due date.
  5. Sign off the raise borer audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.

What Does a Raise Borer Audit Cover?

A raise borer audit scores condition against DGMS and MSHA standards and manufacturer operating manual, checking mast, gearbox, and thrust bearing, drill string, stabilisers, and reamer, hydraulic and lubrication systems, guards and rotation controls, water and cuttings management, and emergency stops and isolation. Each raise borer finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the raise borer audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

  • Drill string, stabilisers, and reamer
  • Hydraulic and lubrication systems
  • Guards and rotation controls
  • Water and cuttings management

  • Reamer condition photo
  • Thrust bearing note
  • Guard photo

Templates align to DGMS and MSHA standards, manufacturer operating manual.

What Raise Borer Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere

Raise Borer work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Raise Borer Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.

Raise Borer Audit App: Raise Borer issues get logged, then quietly forgotten

Raise Borer issues get logged, then quietly forgotten

A failed item is noted during a routine audit. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next audit finds the same problem on the same raise borer. The raise borer issue is logged, not closed.

Problem

  • Failed raise borer items noted but never assigned to anyone
  • No due date on a raise borer fix, so nothing is ever overdue
  • The raise borer fix is marked done with no proof it happened

Solution

  • Every failed raise borer item becomes an owned corrective action
  • Closure needs a raise borer verification photo before sign-off
  • Overdue actions escalate automatically
Raise Borer Audit App: You find out about a raise borer problem from a complaint

You find out about a raise borer problem from a complaint

There is no live view of raise borer status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the raise borer is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.

Problem

  • No live view of raise borer status across sites
  • Raise Borer problems surface as complaints, not as data
  • Raise Borer risk is invisible until it becomes an incident

Solution

  • Live multi-site dashboard of raise borer completion and open issues
  • Raise Borer risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
  • Configurable dashboards filter raise borer results by site and date
Raise Borer Audit App: Every auditor scores the raise borer audit differently, so sites cannot be compared

Every auditor scores the raise borer audit differently, so sites cannot be compared

One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The raise borer audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.

Problem

  • Raise Borer scoring depends on which auditor showed up
  • Raise borer sections get skipped with no record
  • Raise Borer scores are not comparable across sites

Solution

  • Weighted raise borer criteria baked into the audit template
  • Mandatory raise borer sections, so nothing is skipped
  • Comparable raise borer scores that roll up across the estate

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Raise Borer Audit App check on a raise borer audit?

Raise Borer Audit App runs a scored raise borer audit against DGMS and MSHA standards and manufacturer operating manual, checking mast, gearbox, and thrust bearing, drill string, stabilisers, and reamer, hydraulic and lubrication systems, guards and rotation controls, and water and cuttings management. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for raise boring crews rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.

Which raise borer defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?

The audit targets the raise borer failures that matter most: thrust bearing wear, drill string or reamer damage, hydraulic or lube leaks, and unguarded rotation. Left unchecked, a fault such as thrust bearing wear can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so raise boring crews fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.

Which standards does Raise Borer Audit App support for raise borer work?

Raise Borer Audit App keeps raise borer checks aligned to DGMS and MSHA standards and manufacturer operating manual. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, raise boring crews pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.

Can teams run raise borer checks offline and across multiple sites?

Yes. Raise Borer Audit App is offline-first: teams complete raise borer checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So raise boring crews get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.

What evidence proves a raise borer audit was completed?

Every completed raise borer audit carries reamer condition photo, thrust bearing note, and guard photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, raise boring crews can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
