Description

Introduction
Overview
The RoadRunner Tunnel application is an "add-on" component to the System 1200 RoadRunner application. The tunnel application allows the user to perform tunnel specific survey tasks. The application consists of two main functions: Check Tunnel for checking a built or excavated tunnel with a tunnel design; Stake Tunnel for setting out tunnel features during construction. Each function consists of two main tasks, in the case of Check Tunnel, these tasks are: Check Profile for measuring any point in the tunnel and comparing the measured point with the theoretical design point. Scan Profile for measuring profiles of the tunnel. The Stake Tunnel function consists of: Stake Face, a task that allows setting out at the point of excavation. Stake Profile for setting out any point of the tunnel at a given chainage. The centre line of the tunnel may be imported for use on-board the sensor using the industry standard LandXML data format or in formats exported from a number of other tunnel design packages using the Design to Field component of the Leica Geo Office application. Refer to chapter "2.1.1 Tunnel Centreline" for more information regarding the import of centre line data.

Basic stake out and check elements

Elements for Tunnel Stake Out and Check Measurements

In general there are two different basic stake out and check elements within a tunnel: Tunnel Face Tunnel Profile Tunnel Face It is usually required to stake out the tunnel face to indicate the postion to excavate when certain tunnelling methods are used (e.g. Drill and Blast or excavation using a roadheader). The points to stake on the tunnel face may be defined in various ways:

1.3.2 Staking tunnel profiles Basic terms

Tunnel Profiles Tunnel Profiles are normally staked after excavation to indicate the position of tunnel design elements or services such as lighting or ventilation. Usually a tunnel under construction is designed and built in various stages such that a given chainage can have various design profiles (e.g. shotcrete, final lining... ). Each design profile is called a layer.

RRT12_007

Working arears

A tunnel profile is defined by its chainage and the design profile assigned to that chainage. Points to stake on any layer of the design profile may be defined using the same methods as those used to stake the tunnel face. When staking out in a tunnel, it is normally the case that the excavated profile does not coincide exactly with the design profile. In these cases, the irregular form of the excavated profile may mean that it is not possible to stake a particular point at a particular chainage from a given instrument position (e.g. in a tight curve).

Introduction

For this reason, a tight tolerance may be used to determine whether a staked point be accepted or not, the stake out process will stop once a measured point is within the tight tolerance limits. In extreme cases where the instrument positions itself very far away from the point to stake, it may not be worth trying to stake the point. In this case a bailout tolerance may be introduced. If a measured point is outside of the bailout tolerance during the stake out iteration process, the stake out of the point is abandoned. The bailout tolerance may also be exceeded if an obstruction such as plant machinery is situated between the measurement sensor and the point being measured. Plan view

Measuring tunnel profiles

Tunnel Profiles are normally measured after excavation to compare the excavated profile with the design profile during the excavation phase of the project or for quality control checks of the built tunnel. When measuring tunnel profiles, it is possible to scan various profile from one instrument position. The profiles to scan are defined with respect to a defined chainage. Profiles may be scanned at a given forward and back interval within a given forward and back distance from the defined profile. Plan view

General

Shifts
When working on site, it is often the case that design data does not match the measured data. For example, an existing road surface that should intersect with the design surface may be 15 cm higher than the plans indicate. To guarantee a smooth intersection, this difference has to be distributed over the remaining 100 m of paving. To handle these situations, Road-Runner allows the possibility of adding shifts to the existing design data. A shift is applied when selecting the element to stake out/check. Shifts do not change the stored design. They are applied temporarily for stake out purposes.

Radial offset

When using a reflector to check a design profile it is important to take into account the reflector radius parameter in the General page of the application configuration. If this parameter is set to Yes, the measured point will be projected by a distance equivalent to the radius of the reflector in a direction perpendicular to the tangent of the design profile. If this parameter is set to No, the design profile will be compared to the coordinates of the centre of the reflector at the measured position. If reflectorless measurements are used or no design profile is has been defined, the reflector radius parameter will not be used in the calculation.

The Plot panel of the Check Profile dialogue displays a plot of the measured point with respect to the design profile.

3.3.3 Profile settings

Defining Profiles to Scan When measuring tunnel profiles, it is possible to scan various profiles from one instrument position. Note that the instrument will always measure the profile in the chainage where the instrument is stationed before measuring additional profiles. If it is required to measure more than one profile from an instrument position, the profiles to scan are defined with respect to a defined chainage. This defined chainage, Profile Chain, may or may not coincide with the chainage at which the instrument is stationed. Profiles may be scanned at a given forward (Fwd Interval) and back interval (Back Interval) within a given forward (Fwd Distance) and back distance (Back Distance) from the defined profile. Depending on the configuration this can also be forward (Fwd Chainage) and back chainage (Back Chainage).

Defining the Interval

The limits for the profile measurements, forward distance and back distance, may be entered manually in the General panel of the Scan Profile dialogue or may be measured using the GET B and GET F keys: GET B (F2) Measures a distance from the instrument position and calculates the difference in chainage between the measured point and the chainage of the instrument position. The calculated difference is then set as the Back Distance. GET F (F3) Measures a distance from the instrument position and calculates the difference in chainage between the measured point and the chainage of the instrument position. The calculated difference is then set as the Forward Distance. Note that the measured point for a back distance must always be at a chainage less than the chainage of the instrument poition. The measured point for a forward distance must always be at a chainage greater than the chainage of the instrument poition. If these conditions are not met, an error message will be displayed and it will be necessary to redefine the distance.

3.3.4 Inclusive and exclusive sections

Scan Limits Once the chainages of the profiles to scan have been defined, and before starting the measurement, it is necessary to define the limits of the scan. The scan limits are used to define the angular limits to be scanned in a plane perpendicular to the centreline. These limits normally define the starting point and end point of the profile to scan as well as any zone that should not be measured.

The scan limits can be defined using the LIMIT (SHIFT-(F5)) key in the Scan Profile dialogue. Limits are defined with respect to the instrument axis. In the following example a limit is defined that includes the entire area to be scanned (Limit 1) and an overlapping area (Limit 2) that should not be scanned because a ventilation shaft is obstructing a clear view of the tunnel surface.

Any number of limits may be defined. In addition each limit needs to be defined as an include limit (ie. measure within the defined zone) or an exclude limit (ie. do not measure within the defined zone. If overlapping zones are defined, an exclude limit has priority over an include limit.

To define a limit

1. Enter the Limit Name and place the cursor on the Angle Start line. 2. Turn the instrument to point at the starting angle of the limit. 3. Press the DIST (F2) key to measure the distance. 4. Move the cursor to the Angle End line. 5. Turn the instrument to point at the end angle of the limit. 6. Press the DIST (F2) key to measure the distance. 7. Decide on whether the limit is an include limit within which points should be measured ([Link] = Yes) or an exclude limit which should not be measured ([Link] = No) 8. If the measurement status is set to Yes, enter the approximate distance between points to be measured on the line Increment.

The position of the limit can be reviewed once it has been defined by placing the cursor on the Angle Start or Angle End line and pressing the POSIT (F4) key. The instrument will turn to the corresponding angle.

Store a limit

Once the limit has been defined, it can be stored using the CONT (F1) key. The application will then return to the Angular Limits dialogue.

Once the limits have been defined they may be edited from the Angular Limits dialogue by pressing the EDIT (F3) key or deleted by pressing the DEL (F4) key. To return to the Scan Profile dialogue after defining the angular limits, press the CONT (F1) key.

3.3.5 Measure additional points

Defining Discrete Points to Measure In addition to defining the chainage and the angular limits of the profiles to scan, it is also possible to define discrete points in the profile that should be measured at each chainage. These points could represent a breakpoint in the section, for example, or a point that is required for positioning services such as electricity cables. To define a manual point: 1. Press the MANU (F4) button in the Scan Profile dialogue. 2. Aim at the point to measure. 3. Use the ALL (F1), DIST (F2) and REC (F3) keys to measure the point in the usual manner. 4. Repeat the process for all of the manual points that are required to be added to the profile.

3.3.6 Starting the scan

Making a Scan Once all manual points have been defined, the scanning of the profiles may commence by pressing the AUTO (F4). If no manual points are required, scanning of the profiles may be started by pressing the START (F1) key. Once scanning has started, the values of the measured point may be viewed in the Info panel of the Scan Profile dialogue. The values shown in this panel may be configured in the application configuration. Refer to chapter "7 Configuration" for more information on modifying the Info panel. It is possible to abort the scan once started using the STOP (F1) key. Should it be necessary to pause the scan, for example to allow passing site traffic through, this can be done using the PAUSE (F2) key.

Pause and options before continuing

Once the scan has been paused, the user has several options available before continuing:
STOP (F1)) Aborts the scan RESUM (F2) Continue the scan at the next position. Turn the instrument to skip a section of the profile if needed. PROF+ (F3) Skips the remaining points in the profile being measured and moves onto the next profile.

MANU (F4)
Allows a point measured manually to be added to the measured profile. The automatic scan may be resumed by pressing the AUTO (F4) key if this key has been pressed.

Scan settings

Whilst scanning, the application makes a series of checks based on the values entered in Scan page of the application configuration. These checks ensure that the measurements are within the required tolerance values.

CONF (SHIFT-(F2)) To open the Scan page of the configuration within the application.

Scan Mode The Scan Mode indicates the type of profile to be scanned. Vertical and perpendicular (tilted) profiles are supported. Min/Max Limits The Min/Max Limits defines the limits either by distance or by chainage. [Link] The [Link] defines the maximum difference in chainage with which a point will be recorded. It is also related to the [Link] parameter. When measuring parallel profiles it is necessary to check the measured chainage of a point against the nominal chainage. Since no information is avaialable regarding the tunnel surface before scanning, the theoretical position of the point is measured. If the difference between the measured values and the nominal values are greater than the chainage limit, the instrument iterates to a new position where its calculated point is likely to be.

Invalid measurements

This process is repeated until the measured point is within the chainage limit or the maximum number of iterations has been reached. Should this happen, the user is advised that it has been unable to measure the point. This situation could occur, for example, in irregular tunnel surfaces, where the horizontal alignment is formed by a curve with a small radius or if the back distance or forward distance defined in the General page of the Scan Profile dialogue were too large. The tight behaviour (Tight Behav.), tolerance (Tight Toleran) and Tight Ignore refer to the distance of the measured point from the design profile. If the distance between the measured point and the design profile is greater than the tight tolerance and less than the tight ignore value, the application will perform the action defined as the tight behaviour. This may be Store all the values, Store only those values within the defiend tolerances, Pause the application with a warning message and store the values or pause the application with a warning message. It is possible to return to the Scan Profile dialogue from the configuration by pressing the CONT (F1) key.

Stake Face and Profile

Setting Out the Tunnel

Overview
The Stake Face and Stake Profile options can be accessed from the RoadRunner Setup Panel.

CONT (F1) Select the required option and press the CONT (F1) key to proceed.

The Stake Face option allows any point on the excavation face of the tunnel to be set out. The points to set out may be defined with respect to the horizontal and vertical alignment or to the design profile. The Stake Profile option allows any point at a given chainage in the tunnel to be staked. The points to set out may be defined with respect to the horizontal and vertical alignment or to the design profile.

4.2
Overview

Setting Out the Tunnel Face

When excavating a tunnel, it is usually required to set out the tunnel portal before excavation can begin. In addition, for excavation methods other than those involving tunnel boring machines (TBM's), it is then usually required to set out the tunnel face at given intervals during the excavation. The tunnel face can be set out at any time within the System 1200 RoadRunner Tunnel application using the Stake Face function. This function allows the setting out of a series of points perpendicular to the horizontal alignment that indicate the position of the design profile at the chainage of the tunnel face.

Points to set out

Given that it is likely that a degree of rock debris is present at the tunnel face or that inexact excavation techniques such as blasting are used, it cannot be assumed that the tunnel face at any stage of the excavation is perpendicular to the horizontal alignment.

This in turn implies that we cannot set out a point on the tunnel face at a given chainage as the chainage of the tunnel face at any particular point is unknown. Iterative techniques are necessary to enable any defined point on the tunnel face to be set out accurately. The Stake Face function involves setting out a point on the tunnel face at this unknown chainage. First of all the point to set out on the tunnel face is set out at an approximate chainage (e). The point may be defined by offsets with respect to the centre line or by its position along the design profile and its offset from the profile. Given that the excavated tunnel face does not intersect the defined chainage, another point (e') is measured.

Project data

Project and Job Management

Overview
Working on a tunnel construction site implies working with various data such as: Control points Horizontal and vertical alignments Measurement data Tunnel Profile design Digital Terrain Models To avoid having to select individual data sets each time the application is used, data can be grouped into projects. This makes the selection much easier and reduces the risk of selecting wrong data set.

Project

A project consists of different kinds of jobs that are grouped together to form a project. By selecting a project automatically all referenced jobs are selected as well. A project can reference: one fixpoint job one measurement job one road job one tunnel job one DTM job. Since jobs are only referenced by a project, they may be used in more than one RoadRunner project, as well as in other applications. For example the same collection of control points may be used in two different projects.

Project A

Meas-Job B

Project A and Project B reference the same fixpoint job (Fixpoint Job A) and road job (RoadJob MY), however, their results are stored into different measurement jobs (Meas-Job A; Meas-Job B). In addition, Project A references the tunnel design data through a Tunnel Job (Tunnel Job A). Fixpoint job The Fixpoint job holds all control point information needed in the field. For example, control points, points with known coordinates used for a TPS setup. Measurement The measurement job is where information generated in the field is Job recorded. All measurements, points and other values stored in the field are added to this job. Road Job All road design information for road data outside of the tunnel, either typed in manually or exported from a design package is stored in the road job. Like the fixpoint job, it is a source of information. Refer to the RoadRunner Technical Reference Manual, chapter "6 Tunnel Job" for more information on road jobs.

Each tunnel job consists of two major parts: Design data: Contains all the information about the tunnel design including the geometry of the centre line and the tunnel cross-section. Working tasks: Tasks define how the design elements of the tunnel are staked out or checked in the field, they also define any offsets that should be applied to the design data. Refer to "6.3 Tasks" for more information on tasks.

6.2
6.2.1 Alignments

Design Data
Horizontal and Vertical Alignments All tunnel jobs must consist of at least a horizontal and a vertical alignment. These data may be converted from a road design package using the Design To Field component within the Leica Geo Office application.

6.2.2 Profiles

Design Profiles Depending on the complexity of the tunnel job, the design data may vary from being a single horizontal and vertical alignment to a design containing many different design profiles with dozens of defined vertices. Design profiles may be defined and edited in the Profile Editor application that is integrated into the LEICA Geo Office (LGO) application.

6.2.3 Layers

Layers Tunnels generally consist of layers made of different materials, for example a shotcrete surface or a lining. At different times throughout a project it may be required to work with different layers of the tunnel. RoadRunner allows the possibility of creating such layers by grouping together design profiles that will be used at the same chainage.

Overview

Tasks
When staking out or checking a tunnel, it is often the case that it is not possible to finish a particular task in one go. RoadRunner Tunnel allows the possibility of storing the element to be staked out or checked together with all defined settings as a work task. Tasks are stored as a part of the project. A task defines the offsets required for setting out and checking as well as the layer of the design profile to use and the chainage limits within which the task applies. When pressing CONT (F1) on the RoadRunner Setup panel a list of available tasks will be shown.
CONT (F1) Select the highlighted task and continue. NEW (F2) Create a new task. EDIT (F3) Modify selected task. DEL (F4) Delete selected task. MORE (F5) Toggle between Date and Time info. TEMP (F6) Create a new temporary task. The task is created in the same way as an ordinary task but the task is not saved.

6.3.1 Overview

Creating a New Task The Selection Wizard-Start page defines the name of the task and whether shifts should be applied to the design data. Shifts are applied temporarily to the design data for the defined task, the original design data is not modified when a shift is applied. Refer to chapter "6.3.2 Working with Shifts" for more information on applying shifts. The same selection wizard is used for all tasks within the application.

6.3.2 Overview

Working with Shifts If a shift is defined on the first page of the selection wizard, the parameters associated with the shift must be entered after defining the chainage limits. Two types of shifts may be applied: Constant or linear. The application of the shift is dependent upon to which entity it should be applied: Horizontal alignment, Vertical alignment or Design Profile.

Refer to chapter "1.4 Shifts" for more information on the type of shift for each entity.

For linear shifts

The parameters required for applying the shift are identical for all entities.
