With increased monitoring of the environment associated with the use of TBMs, says guidance manufacturer VMT, “it is essential that this information can be suitably processed and presented in such a way as to be useful for the safe and effective driving of the TBM.”
VMT has developed a Controlled Boring Process (CBP) feature, which it says: “Enables the integration of all this data into one common database to give near real-time evaluation of all incoming data for the continuous monitoring and visualisation of surface structures and for the display of deformations in front, above and behind the TBM.” This includes the implementation of steering aid options for the shield driver and the supply of warning messages in case of dangerous drive conditions.
“The entire presentation can also be transmitted to the offices of the client as well as the contractor for even closer monitoring during critical situations,” adds the company.
