Phase 2: Tunnel Construction Surveys

Shotcrete and Tunnel Lining Quality Control

Trimble's robotic and scanning total stations reduce field time by automating the data collection process when performing shotcrete and tunneling lining checks. Provide clients with detailed reports verifying tunnel designs using Trimble Business Center Tunneling. 

Shotcrete and Tunnel Lining Quality Control

Efficient and Accurate Tunnel Excavation Surveys

Provide construction operators efficient set-out and excavation positioning using Trimble Access Tunnels field software and S series total stations. Once excavation has been performed, automated as-built profiles reduce manual operator tasks and increase the tunnel construction efficiency.

Tunnel Beneath the Bay

For decades, California's Hetch Hetchy water system has supplied water to the San Francisco Bay Area. But the aging system is nearing the end of its useful life and is seismically vulnerable. Constructing a solution requires accurate, nerve-racking surveying.

The New Link

A team of Belgian surveyors seamlessly adopt a new class of instrument midway through a large, multi-modal transportation project in Belgium, after problems arose from reliance on legacy surveying tools and methods. Adoption of the Trimble SX10 solved the issues and provided the surveyors with new options for rapid collection of 3D data.
