Tunnelling
Tunnelling is designed to check the clearances for the
final tunnel alignment. It can also calculate overbreak
and underbreak volumes, along with a range of setting
out options for laser guidance and tunnel floor
intersection points.
Tunnel alignments can be entered either manually or
by extracting digital design information. Errors can
then be checked and eliminated.
Two alignments can be compared i.e. that of the tunnel
and the laser. By entering details of how the tunnel
centre and target are related to the setting out
Shapes are hung from the design alignment to
represent a design profile or a train’s kinematic
envelope and react with the cant of the tracks in a
variety of ways to meet most design criteria.
Asbuilt surveys can be imported and converted into
section files. The asbuilt position can be compared to
the design alignment and if required the alignment can
be redesigned to put the tunnel back on track.
Reports can be created by running a wriggle using
surveyed asbuilt data and the design data to highlight
overbreak or underbreak areas, overbreak or
underbreak volumes, maximum and minimum
clearances and pinch points. The same can be done
using a train’s kinematic envelope and the design data
for clash detection.
Tunnel monitoring allows asbuilt profiles to be
monitored. Reports can be generated showing graphs
of movement/time, jellyfish plots, convergence and
divergence,isopachs along with excavation steps to
show the progress of the tunnel.
