Dynamic Tunneling Package
Today all tunneling projects exist in a 3D CAD model. With the Dynamic Tunneling Package the drill rig can create its own drill plan directly at the face of the tunnel. You simply download the contours of the tunnel or mine drifts to the drill rig together with a drill plan rule file and the drill rig will create drill plans tailored for the section it is currently navigated on.
Accuracy and efficiency
The drill plan will always be generated at the actual section where it's navigated, meaning that it will always be a perfect match. There is no longer any need for free-hand drilling to make the extension, or to use an old drill plan that "almost" fits. This will generate better blasting and better quality of the contours.
Today, in large tunnel or mine projects, much time is spent going back and forth with new drill plans. The Dynamic Tunneling Package creates the drill plans directly, saving time. With the Dynamic Tunneling Package, you only have to download the contour of the tunnel and a set of rules. The rest is created by the drill rig.
If you use fixed and predefined drill patterns, there is a risk that they will not fit to the actual section. In a ramp tunnel, for example, your blasting may not have reached the designed depth, leaving you behind your plan. Instead of using the drill plan for a planned section, you have to return to the office to modify the drill plan. In projects with a lot of size variations in cross sections, a great amount of time could be spent on modifying drill plans.
On many projects, the surveyor is responsible for the drill plans. If the surveyor is not present when the drill plan is needed, there will be a lot of waiting. With the Dynamic Tunneling Package, there is no more waiting for the surveyor on a matching drill plan.
Automated and tele-remotely controlled operations can significantly increase productivity and improve safety at the same time. It can also increase consistency of daily operations, yet providing predictable results.
Why spend time on making drill plans when the drill rig could do it by itself?
With the Dynamic Tunneling Package the drill rig can create its own drill plans directly at the face of the tunnel.
You just download the contours of the tunnel or mine drifts to the drill rig together with a drill rule file and the drill rig will create drill plans tailored for the section it is navigated within. No more going back and forth with drill plans. And improved accuracy of the excavation due to the fact that the drill plans will always be fitted for the current section.
