Expert “Laser Total Station” system

New features and benefits of the expert “Laser Total Station” system

• The “Quick-Check” option simplifies and speeds up the control surveying process, reducing downtimes and significantly simplifying system handling
• Alternative calculation methods such as vertical coupled navigation provide indications of floating thrust pipes
• The system requires 50% fewer control surveys than the all-rounder “Gyro” system
  ➤ Less interruption of tunnelling, shorter downtimes, increased tunnelling performance
• The automatically recorded actual position of the pipeline approx. 30m behind the TBM is displayed – alongside the recorded TBM position – in the reference line editor, providing an indicator which evaluates the accuracy of the currently displayed TBM position
  ➤ Ensures less deviation from the design alignment, enables more precise steering and thus reduces the jacking forces – which, in turn, reduces the load on the pipes
• Additional measurement and control of the product pipe position 30-50m behind the tunnelling machine
  ➤ Monitors and documents pipeline behaviour during advance, thereby ensuring its correct final position
