Tunnelling Analytics | Automated Tunnel Data

  Analytics for Mechanised Tunnelling MissionOS Data Object Models In order to do repeatable feedback on tunnel data first the information has to be gathered in structured automated or semi‐automated ways. The MissionOS platform has a completely configurable and dynamic data model which enables users to create tables. Monitoring Objects Monitoring objects include sensor data recorded both manually and in an automated data‐logged way. These include data from environmental, geotechnical and structural monitoring and data streams from machines. Geospatial Data The GIS capabilities of MissionOS are used to effectively store layers of geospatial data such as topography, land-use, ground-hazard and settlement sensitivity, rainfall etc. All these can be used as a part of the analytics process. Construction Objects Construction objects are the objects to be built either as temporary or permanent works. These are often identified within the project BIM (Building Information Modelling) and a...

Ground Risk Services using Geostatistics | GI Data Auditing

  What is Geostatistics? Most interpretation of project geology is deterministic in that a geologist or Engineer makes a determination of a single interpretation of the model. There is no measure for how good this is or how coloured this might be by their own practical experience. As such it is difficult to rigorously defend against any other expert opinion. Geostatistical simulation provides a means for truly quantifying the uncertainty spatially in the interpretation. For example, the uncertainty around the location of lithological boundaries, or the presence of lenses and boulders. It tells you what it is possible to interpret from the data set and the confidence in all possible interpretations while offering a best estimate. You decide the level of risk you want to take. It is used widely in mining and environmental contamination studies and the process is normally as follows: GI Data Auditing and Exploratory Data Analysis. Auditing and checking borehole logs and other ground i...

Off-site Construction & Component Management Systems

  Factory Management Systems Maxwell GeoSystems configurable MissionOS platform is being used to manage all aspects of componentised "off-site" construction. The combination of SCADA, GIS and BIM in one web-based platform leads to simpler systems and more connected working. Process Management We create bespoke SCADA type factory production interfaces to manager process flow in real time (<5 seconds). Hundreds of process sensors can be arranged to track production lines according to your exact requirements. Productivity Management The data from these sensors are automatically linked to the production shift report module which records production, waiting and downtime according to a set of codes you design. Embedded Instrumentation Maxwell GeoSystems and sister company, Etherterra, design embedded instrumentation systems for a variety of conventionally reinforced and fibre reinforced components. These new IoT solutions use new techniques to monitor the components during const...

Risk Management Tool For Groundwater & Settlement Control

  MissionOS as a Risk Management Tool Insurers require every construction project to implement active risk management. This comprises the identification of geographic and well as activity based hazards, evaluating consequence and risk and alerting the various project staff on a constant basis as information and progress changes. Productivity Management through Interactive and Automatic Shift Reports Admin users can design activity lists for both planned and actual shifts accompanied by plant and labour records. A variety of shift report types are available from simple manual gantt type data entry, zone and rig- based with activities which can be populated directly from dataloggers. Hazard and risk data can be added for activities as well as geographical risks and combined in blogs into live reports. Management of Construction Records Records and forms are a key component of all construction contracts and their production can absorb staff time unnecessarily, particularly if there is...

Tunnel Excavation Software | Excavation monitoring

  One of the keys for sound engineering management of infrastructure projects is to be able to have access to quality transparently audited information as quickly as possible. Maxwell GeoSystems’ web-based MissionOS system is developed to provide quick access to all site technical data, at any given time & location and with powerful tools to aid analysis and reporting. In an age where communication and easy access to information are vital factors for Engineers, Consultants, Stakeholders and Owners for the analysis, interpretation and decision-making, the demand for setting up web-based Integrated Data Management Systems for small and large scale infrastructure projects has increased in recent years. Maxwell GeoSystems has recently developed a module of its MissionOS system, catering specifically to Shaft and Tunnel Excavation works, that is designed to provide timely and sufficient information on instrumentation data combined with construction related works. Engineers & Con...

Geotechnical Process Control | Risk analysis in construction industry

  Client-Contractor Collaboration for Integrated TBM Process and Geotechnical process Control – Power Grid Cable Tunnels Singapore For many years partnering has been a well-established principle for promoting a “best for project” culture within a construction contract. This endeavors to remove the adversarial nature of classical “engineer’s design” contracts by openly discussing issues which may impact on project performance and look to engineer ways to mitigate them within the terms of the contract. These discussions rely on information and often the data available to client, engineer and contractor is incomplete, different or ‘selectively’ chosen to support a particular point of view. On many contracts clients have implemented project wide systems either independent of the main contractor or as part of the contractor’s specification and these have seldom provided the common information base desired in order to facilitate the partnering approach. The Powergrid Cables tunnels in S...

Gls monitoring | Sydney metro central station expansion

  MissionOS is deployed on the Sydney Metro Central Station Expansion . Maxwell GeoSystems is providing its cutting-edge Data Management system, MissionOS, for GLS Monitoring on the major construction works for Sydney Metro’s Central Station. Works consist of a new 27-meter deep metro station box next to the existing Central station precinct with about 6,000 tonnes of crushed rock excavated each week. In addition, an 80-meter long, 19-meter-wide construction tunnel was excavated under 10 live tracks to deliver the Central Walk. Due to the requirement for uninterrupted rail service, MissionOS is serving as the primary risk management tool, providing real-time notifications of any extensive movements and automated report generation. Sydney Metro – Central Station Main Works instrumentation produces data in many formats. The Generic Data Loader (GDL) is user-configurable and can transfer text file based data into MissionOS databases. MissionOS accepts raw data and performs calculation...
