Raise Borer Inspection App runs structured raise borer inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each raise borer, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see raise borer compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
Raise Borer Inspection App runs a structured raise borer inspection 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 Inspection 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 Inspection App?
A comprehensive raise borer inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect raise borers with rod string, rotation head, and ground support checks plus defect logging for vertical development. Your inspection 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 inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Raise Borer Inspection App
A consistent routine keeps raise borer inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned raise borer template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, raise borer, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the raise borer.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially thrust bearing wear, drill string or reamer damage, hydraulic or lube leaks, unguarded rotation.
For every failed raise borer item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the raise borer form. The raise borer report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does a Raise Borer Inspection Cover?
A raise borer inspection covers 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. Raise boring crews capture photo evidence on each raise borer point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the raise borer round off. So every raise borer record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What Raise Borer Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
Raise Borer work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Raise Borer Inspection App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Raise Borer issues get logged, then quietly forgotten
A failed item is noted during a routine inspection. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next inspection 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
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 checks signed off on paper with no proof the raise borer was actually checked
A raise borer inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the raise borer was actually checked, and whether thrust bearing wear, drill string or reamer damage, hydraulic or lube leaks, unguarded rotation were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the raise borer passed.
Problem
Raise Borer checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
No way to confirm thrust bearing wear, drill string or reamer damage, hydraulic or lube leaks, unguarded rotation were actually inspected
Raise Borer findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay
Solution
One digital raise borer form with required fields and validation
Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every raise borer check
Raise Borer findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Raise Borer Inspection App check on a raise borer inspection?
Raise Borer Inspection App runs a structured raise borer inspection covering mast, gearbox, and thrust bearing, drill string, stabilisers, and reamer, hydraulic and lubrication systems, guards and rotation controls, and water and cuttings management. Each point is captured on mobile with photo evidence against it, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so raise boring crews work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.
Which raise borer defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection 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 Inspection App support for raise borer work?
Raise Borer Inspection 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 Inspection 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 inspection was completed?
Every completed raise borer inspection 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.
