The portal allows the engineer rapid access to all the information associated with the tunnelling works. Any of the recorded parameters can be graphed for any section of the tunnel

Maxwell GeoSystems is seeing great success with its innovative MissionOS system.Customers are discovering how it enables collaboration on projects. It’s proving to be a real game-changer for the construction industry and ideal for tunnelling applications. The system is beingchosen for major infrastructure development projects as well as ongoing maintenance management. This innovative technology platform is revolutionising how our clients can exploit automation of project data to reduce time & costs, making teams more e�ective.

MissionOS is a bespoke software platform for the display and interpretation of construction data and has a module speci�cally con�gured for tunnelling. The software utilises a robust, expandable, tiered and secure database architecture to process the construction data before displaying it on a fast, ultra-light, con�gurable web interface for rapid interrogation anywhere that has an internet connection.The key features of the system are its con�guarability, the level of engineering tools and timelines available to the user. Hosting on cloud services means that MissionOS can readily deal with the largest projects.

MissionOS - Tunnelling

The Tunnel Data Management System(TDMS) is an application of both the MissionOS Designer and Builder streams combined into one integrated platform for the speci�c high risk construction activity of tunnelling. The platform combines several layers of functionality to enable the user to e�ectively link data to the tunnel excavation and lining process to design, investigation and instrument feedback for better tunnel process control. The portal allows the engineer rapid access to all the information associated with the tunnelling works. Any of the recorded parameters can be graphed for any section of the tunnel.

The STEMS Control Room on Singapore’s DTSS2 using MissionOS-TDMS to manage 100km of tunnelling built by 27 collaborating contractors with 86 shafts

The TDMS system has been successfully utilised on numerous projects in Hong Kong (Regional Express Line, Shatin Central Link, Hong Kong West Drainage, Lai Chi Kok and Tsuen Wan West Drainage, LiantangLam Tin and others), Singapore (SPPA cable tunnels), Thailand (MRTBLE) and Malaysia (KVMRT 1&2),United Kingdom (Thames Tideway), U.S. (Los Angeles Metro & Washington NEBT) as well as in Australia (Brisbane Airport Link, Perth Airport Link).

The Proven Solution for the Toughest Jobs

Managing Tunnel Risk


MissionOS

Obtaining accurate prediction data becomes quick and easy using MissionOS. The system provides a range of analytical tools enabling the user to create instant comparisons and the critical analysis of project data can be achieved dynamically.

With such a high level of built-in con�gurability, any TBM parameter can be immediately compared with predictions and instrument data as sections, plots & contours. The ability to combine key TBM parameters such as face pressure, thrust, cutter wear etc. with geotechnical data provides an important insight into critical parameters as the TBM progresses through the ground.

This allows the Project Engineer to readily undertake forecasts such as volume loss analysis or the impact of water in�ow & tunnel pumping.

A signi�cant capability of the system is the newly introduced automatic 3D model generation feature. This allows for the interrogation of data to be presented in a 3D rendering in real-time.

A critical element of any tunnel project is the e�ective management of risk & hazards.

MissionOS creates an environment in which all relevant tunnel geological plans and pro�les together with pre-tunnel assumptions, including the geology revealed through drill hole data, can be easily loaded.

It is possible to identify hazards and register them within the MissionOS platform through simple digitising and classi�cation. Additional relevant hazards & consequence meta-data such as building damage assessments can also be incorporated.

MissionOS can host all geotechnical and survey instruments installed in a tunnel as well as at the surface. On-going records of ground movement and instrumentation monitoring can then be carried out both in manual mode as well as in real-time.

The system hierarchy can be readily con�gured combining geotechnical, survey and TBM parameters into single & tables in order to assess correlations.

The unique MissionOS user-interface is extremely intuitive and allows for the creation of a bespoke dashboard for key instruments or parameters.

Once con�gured, geological cross-sections and generic canvas screens can automate the reporting process, manage alarms, safety events and processes using collaborative blogs.

Importantly, this frees up valuable engineer’s time to focus on risk management and mitigation.

Managing Productivity


MissionOS

MissionOS optimises all input data to generate a common cycle of statistics allowing for cross-comparison and analysis against the forecast plan.

The system monitors the time records of all site related activities during excavation and throughout thelining of the tunnel. Each record is then identi�able within the critical path activity.

As the tunnel progresses, data can be acquired from the TBM in real-time and automatically converted into structured data & analysed using highly con�gurable graphing & reporting to produce customisable interfaces combining all key TBM machine data with other measured parameters.

Tunnel geology and hydro-geology information can also be incorporated with the MissionOS system.Other construction records including temporary works ( Probing, grouting, mapping, support, installation),QA/QC tests ( Both concrete & steel) plus photographic & CCTV records can all be included.

This provides a platform for more comprehensive collection of data, from probe hole drilling & Pre/Post excavation records to photographic records of jobs and structures.

MissionOS was awarded a “Productivity Improvement Project” award by the Singapore Building Authorityin 2015.

Managing Safety


MissionOS


MissionOS allows the user to monitor all critical aspects of tunnel activities & safety in real-time.

The system automatically prompts Alerts and Actions to a heirarchy of users for assessment and furtherinterrogation of data. These warning noti�cations can be sent by e-mail & SMS-text automatically, oralternatively, by the engineer responsible after veri�cation. Reports can also be produced in PDF format.

The Blog feature gives user group members the opportunity to add their own comments and feedback to any given topic. Attachments can be included to a Blog comment and easily viewed.

Users can search speci�c topics, check for updates as well initiate their own new threads. The systemautomatically archives all Blog information ensuring that the data history is fully maintained throughoutthe duration of the project and afterwards providing a valuable accesible library resource if required.

MissionOS is a highly con�gurable, structured operation system, which monitors and controls all the various activities a tunnel project generates, reducing risks and managing safety.

System users can easily operate the software through its intuative user-interface.

TBM Process Control

Tunnel process control is the feedback between the observed behaviour of the TBM and supporting plant with data records, predictions and observations. The objective is to tunnelsafely and e�ectively, maximising productivity, whilst minimising any harmful e�ects, such assettlement. This feedback requires numerous streams of data to be connected and comparedin real-time and MissionOS is the most complete and con�gurable system to do this. System users can freely interrogate data and provide enhanced levels of supervision, knowingthat MissionOS is managing the data processing.
