Tunnels Under High Pressure – Decisions Require Data
An unforeseen incident in the tunnel. Traffic has come to a standstill. A major transportation route has been cut off. Public pressure is mounting with every passing hour. Management is demanding answers: When can the tunnel be safely reopened?
In crisis situations like these, having data available quickly is of critical importance. Traditional surveying usually requires additional downtime, ties up valuable personnel, and provides results only as isolated observations. But what’s a better way?
Their Solution: Continuous 3D Monitoring
With the SuessCo 3D sensor allows for continuous, high-precision monitoring of tunnel movements—contactless, compact, and without disrupting traffic.
- Three-Dimensional Motion Measurement
- Plug and Play
- Alerts When Predefined Thresholds Are Reached
- Access to measurement data at any time via the SuessCo Datahub
The result: transparency regarding actual deformation behavior—in real time. And quick answers for management.
Quick decisions. Minimal downtime.
Digital remote monitoring enables:
- Immediate Analysis of Incidents
- Autonomous Monitoring Without On-Site Personnel
- Minimal traffic disruptions
- A Solid Basis for Decision-Making for Operators and Government Agencies
That's how uncertainty turns back into confidence in taking action.
Case Study: Rastatt Tunnel – Safety in the Home Stretch
For Deutsche Bahn’s Rastatt railway tunnel, the experts at TABERG ISB GmbH & Co. KG implemented a state-of-the-art digital monitoring network. To ensure seamless protection of structural integrity during the critical grouting work, the high-precision SuessCo 3D Sensor XT was used to monitor the tunnel segments.
The sensors detected even the slightest joint movements in the micrometer range and provided reliable real-time data for an immediate assessment of the structure's condition.
