APLITOP has developed TcpTUNNEL Scan, an application for the control of tunnel works in real time for the TOPCON scanning robotic total station.
The software commands the scanning of the tunnel dome or face and show the point cloud in a powerful 3D viewer. High definition tunnel cross-sections are calculated, and they can be compared to the tunnel design, showing the underbreak and overbreak areas. Selecting any point of the profile on the screen, the laser pointer marks the position in the tunnel and vice versa.
TcpTUNNEL Scan makes easier the stake out of the tunnel front, for example the drill hole points for the next blasting excavation sequence, points on the template, rock bolts, road surface and more.
These unique features allow to have accurate information on the current state of construction in the tunnel itself, without the need for post-processing in the office and facilitating decision-making, avoiding the work stoppage of expensive machinery and personnel.
