Definition

A tunnel monitoring system measures convergence, settlement, lining strain, vibration, tilt, and environmental variables during construction or operation.

Engineering Problem Statement

Tunnel projects need rapid insight into excavation influence, support behavior, adjacent assets, and operational risk.

System Architecture

  1. Displacement and convergence sensors
  2. Fiber optic or strain sensing
  3. Vibration and tilt monitoring
  4. DAQ and telemetry
  5. Alarm and reporting workflow

How Products Work Together

QuakeLogic solution architectures should be specified as complete systems: sensors generate measurements, acquisition hardware synchronizes and stores data, communications move data to reviewers, software supports dashboards and reports, and documentation supports procurement, commissioning, and maintenance.

Selection Guidance

  • Separate construction monitoring from operational monitoring
  • Define alarm criteria with geotechnical and structural engineers
  • Protect sensors and cables in confined access environments

Recommended Product Families

Industries Served

  • Transportation, Rail, Airports, and Tunnels

Frequently Asked Questions

Which sensor should I choose?

Choose by measured quantity, range, frequency, accuracy, installation environment, calibration needs, and data use case.

What data acquisition hardware is required?

Confirm sensor signal type, channel count, sampling rate, timing, local storage, telemetry, power, and software compatibility.

Which communication method is appropriate?

Use wired links for controlled short runs, wireless or cellular for remote sites, and local storage where communications are unavailable or not required in real time.
