Continuous monitoring system in tunnelling

Predating tunnel or other underground constructions, a main grid is in need of establishing, and within the data it encompasses, all other networks employed for surveying puposes of objects and structures both above and under ground should consistently be incorporated. When speaking of a deformation network of this sort, the author of the article proposes a specific type of monitoring system furter elaborated upon in the article, and with an emphasis on an departure and improvement from previous systems in terms of accuracy and reliability, online availability, cost efficiency, safety and lack of influence upon the environment. Online data acquired through the use of the proposed system is processed so as to render it suitable to being individually adapted in accordance with multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary expertise, which one can then employ over all control parameters of construction events and consequences. Because an enormous number of differing sensors is available for such a system, and also because of the possibilities of interdisciplinary collaboration involved in the use of a monitoring system, a particular monitoring system is designed for a particular planned object in a particular location. The following article will discuss the designing of such a particular system, and illustrate its benefits further, both theoretically and with the application of a specific monitoring example, which has already been carried out and which tangible provides procedures, obtained results, accuracy analysis et al.
