Instrumentation Monitoring in tunnelling & construction projects

In construction projects around the world, one of the most important and crucial aspects is the monitoring of instruments to protect the works and its surroundings. This has never more true than in tunnelling.

Manual and real-time measurement of instruments at various points in and around tunnels provides data on displacements, strains, pressures loads, temperatures, flows. Hundreds of sensors on the machines provide information of pressures and forces applied and the reaction of the ground. The data from these sensors must be interpreted within the context of a model of the ground which is built from data in boreholes and probe holes The reliability of the ground model can constantly improve as the data revealed in machine behaviour, spoil observations and face mapping is used to update models regularly.

Maxwell GeoSystems’ award-winning cloud-based MissionOS system, allows project engineers to monitor the performance of the instruments during the construction phase, combine these with machine parameters and relate this to a constantly improving ground model. Data is pulled into the system, processed and combined and then displayed in real time on dashboards and displays, digitising the way in which information is presented and shared.
