Monitoring



In an integrated additional database, monitoring data is stored that is retrieved from arbitrary instruments registered in the PROCON II data warehouse. Here, an instrument consists of a number of data series which contain the individual data. For each instrument the position and its assignment to a specific class of instrument (e.g. extensometers or leveling points) is captured. The data series contain additional information regarding their assignment to a monitoring section and their warning and alarm levels which can then be applied to determine the status of the instrument. Using this information, the location and the time of measurement of each data entry is connected with the project reference system.
This allows specific visualization options for monitoring data. The development of settlement troughs, for example, can by shown by visualizing monitoring cross-sections.

Settlements

Settlements


The monitoring data module provides several features for displaying settlement data and other monitoring data in an interactive environment. Some of these features are listed below:

  • Visualization of monitoring points in the interactive map
  • Visualization of the timeline of a specific instrument by clicking its icon in the map
  • Display of settlements along the tunnel alignment in a combined chart
  • Display of settlements in cross-section charts along the alignment.
  • Comparison of settlements with machine data in customized dashboards.


Monitoring Instruments


To monitor the status of the individual instruments, PROCON provides a page where instruments are listed in a table as well as shown on map. The table and map are linked so that only those instruments listed in the table are visible on the map. The content of the table can be individually defined applying several filters like the instrument type or the status of the instrument. Another filter shows only those instrument in the table which are located near the current position of the TBM in order to rapidly list and access those instruments in the area of influence of the tunnel excavation works. By default, the instruments in the table are sorted by their status so that the most critical instruments are always shown first.
For monitoring an instrument more closely, several chart options are provided for openening a standard chart, shield passing chart or cross section chart. Additionally, data of the corresponding instrument can be checked in a data table popup.

Site monitoring


During a tunneling project some buildings are highly sensitive and have to be monitored very closely. In PROCON for these building individual dashboards can be created which contain structural images where installed monitoring sensors have been marked. By clicking on the marker, a chart pops up and displays the data of the sensor. Thus, the user can very fast and easily inform himself about the status of corresponding building.

All aspects of a tunneling project can be captured with PROCON as well as the monitoring of the construction pit. The arrangement of the individual sensors can be shown on a specific plot where each captured sensor can be clicked to show its sensor values in a chart. Some corresponding charts of the monitored area can be arranged on the same dashboard to get a quick overview.
