A method for introducing a borehole into the ground with converging drill heads, comprising:
- detecting, by a detection unit on a first drill head, the first drill head advancing in a first direction, of a second drill head, the second drill head advancing in a second direction;
- and
- responsive to the detecting of the second drill head, adapting of at least one of the first direction relative to the second direction and the second direction relative to the first direction.
A soil drilling device, comprising:
- a drill head;
- a detection unit adjacent to the drill head, configured to detect an alignment of another drill head;
- an orientation unit in communication with the detection unit, and configured to, responsive to the detected alignment of the another drill head, modify a direction of advance of the drill head.
