Tunnels

Helping you succeed in the dark.

From trench to tunnel end, Trimble provides fast, interoperable and reliable solutions for surveying, constructing and collaborating. Minimize downtime, maximize ROI and deliver to your clients confidently everyday with Trimble tunneling solutions.

Tunnels

Rely on a trusted brand for your tunneling workflows.

Planning and design

Set a route to success

No matter the scale, Trimble tunnel survey solutions can handle your project requirements. Automation, interoperability and scalability combine to get the job done.

  • Perform pre-design topographic surveys efficiently and accurately and create base plans with ease
  • Combine all survey data into one package and perform 3D least squares adjustments for robust network verification
  • Set projects up for success by leveraging flexible and automated design tools to define tunnel geometry—no matter how complex—and seamlessly exchange data and designs with field crews

Construction

Maximize ROI with automated in-field workflows and comprehensive deliverables

Fast-paced tunneling demands that your survey support is equally fast and precise. Our tunneling solutions enable you to confidently perform multiple functions from one instrument while seamlessly integrating all geospatial data into one source of truth.

  • Automate set-out positions for rock anchors and blast holes to ensure accurate construction
  • Report on over/underbreak and as-built positions in real-time from the palm of your hand
  • Guide machines precisely with robust optical technology ensuring the tunnel stays on line

Operations

Improve decision-making to ensure operational efficiency and public safety

Collect real-time positions of above- and underground assets to inspect infrastructure, identify issues, and inform stakeholders.

  • Gain insights faster with automated processing, cleaning and feature extraction
  • Make more informed decisions and reduce production personnel risks with detailed, 3D data of tunnel assets
  • Maintain productivity and support a safe working environment with consistent and reliable data that drives real-time analysis, visualization and alarming

Maintenance

Our monitoring technology is always on-site—even when you’re not

Trimble solutions offer real-time data and increased site safety. With our interconnected workflows, you can automatically collect multiple sets of convergence points and produce displacement reports.

  • Quickly capture high-density, accurate 3D data to improve decision-making on tunnel rehabilitation and integrity
  • Leverage our monitoring platform to automatically detect movement and inform stakeholders of potential risks in real time
  • Combine geotechnical, environmental and geodetic data for a comprehensive view of tunnel and surrounding infrastructure health, enabling real-time decision making and improving risk management.
