Industry pain points
Traditional work methods are being plagued by these problems.
Traditional cross-section measurement points are few
Manual cross-section measurement can only cover a limited number of points, resulting in poor representativeness and a high risk of missed detections.
Over- and under-excavation control is difficult
Under-excavation requires secondary excavation, while over-excavation requires additional concrete backfilling, directly increasing costs.
Short measurement window
The tunnel construction process is compact, and the available time for measurement is extremely limited.
Harsh environment
The dim, dusty, and humid environment poses a severe test to both equipment and personnel.
Solution Introduction
How can digital tunnels break the deadlock?
How can digital tunnels break the deadlock?
The VORTEX over- and under-excavation system consists of VORTEX over- and under-excavation processing software, a total station, and a 3D laser scanner. It enables laser big data processing to quickly determine the over- and under-excavation status of the excavation outline, promoting the transformation of quality inspection methods towards digitalization, precision, and speed.

Core Functions
Why choose the VORTEX under-digging system?
Highly automated, single-person operation
The software remotely controls the entire robot workstation, and laser-guided construction operations can be completed by a single person, improving work efficiency.
Comprehensive tunnel information coverage
Dense laser point clouds cover the entire tunnel, providing more comprehensive and detailed information on over-excavation and under-excavation.
Quickly obtain over- or under-digging status
Tunnel construction scanning data is quickly collected and remotely transmitted to VORTEX over- and under-excavation data processing software, and the results are processed on-site in real time.
System Workflow
VORTEX System Workflow
After the system is deployed to the construction site, the computer-controlled VORTEX over- and under-excavation processing software operates the total station and 3D laser scanning head to quickly acquire over- and under-excavation information during the scanning operation, and accurately provide various spatial data required for tunnel construction procedures on site.
Generate over- and under-excavation distribution maps and cross-sectional views for any mileage, enabling the total station to obtain comprehensive and accurate over- and under-excavation data, monitor the tunneling machinery in real time to precisely adjust the target surrounding rock, and facilitate the rapid implementation of support procedures.
Accurate clearance data is fundamental for the initial support and rapid, precise completion of shotcrete during tunnel initial support. The VORTEX system effectively solves the problem that traditional measurement methods can only obtain data for specific cross-sections and cannot obtain overall clearance data, thus improving the accuracy and progress of mechanized construction.
Solution advantages
