Risk Monitoring System for Tunnel Boring Machine and its Application in Risk Prediction and Management

Abstract:

Parameters monitoring and risk management is more and more important and necessary for Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) along with strata and environmental conditions are becoming increasingly complex. The accurate and real-time monitoring of TBM construction process is the basis of security for structure, environment and avoiding the engineering accidents. However, almost all existing TBMs only have the functions of data collecting and storing, how to use these data to monitor and evaluate the status of TBM advancing in real-time, as well as realize the functions of risk prediction and management are still a continuous research problems. In this paper, Risk Monitoring System for Tunnel Boring Machine (RMSTC) has been researched and developed to monitor the process of TBM tunneling and manage the construction risks. The engineering practices show that the RMSTC is a safe and credible system which can achieve data transmission, parameters analysis and material consumption statistics in real-time, and it offers a new efficient way for risk recognition, analysis, evaluation, prediction and control.
