LEICA TMS – Tunnel Measurement System

LEICA TMS – Surveying for Tunnelling Professionals

Today’s tunnelconstruction challengeswith ever more complex pro-ject demands and massivecapital investment on the onehand, and steadily growingpressure on price andcompletion deadlines on theother, demand cost-savingsolutions, yet without sacrifi-cing precision and quality.

Therefore, successful tunnel builders increasingly rely on intelligent surveying solutionsas an integral part of theirtunnelling equipment.

■ effortless transfer of complex planning data

■ Short preparation times■ Multifunctional and flexible

operation■ Optimal support for all tunnel

construction processes■ Round-the-clock availability

LEICA TMS: an integratedsystem brings together thesebenefits in one surveyingsolution, resulting in efficien-cy and precision in all phasesof conventional tunnel con-struction.

Tight budgets, tough quality demands and enormous time pressures require

total efficiency from all aspects of tunnelling. Now, Leica Geosystems and

Amberg offer a surveying solution that sets new benchmarks in measure-

ment and automation for conventional tunnelling: LEICA TMS

ICA TMS – Tunnel Measurement System

LEICA TMS is the measurementsolution for tunnelling professionals. With good reason:

Efficiency: LEICA TMS adoptsan on-board philosophy:Permanent access to all project data and geometricelements directly on theTotalstation - regardless oflocation. Therefore no needfor separate field computersand time-consuming coordi-nate calculations.

Flexibility: With all the pro-ject data on board, it is possible to switch betweenvarious construction tasksseamlessly. And should adhoc work arise while tunnell-ing, LEICA TMS has the solu-tion ready to hand.

Economy:Thanks to its in-genious operational concept,LEICA TMS supports the tunnelling crew to performroutine surveying tasks auto-matically. The result: opti-mised working procedures,reduced down times, in-creased productivity andreduction of overall projectcosts.

Modularity:The modularLEICA TMS system architec-ture enables the most suitableand economical system con-figuration to be chosen.

Simplicity: Logical, straight-forward operation makesLEICA TMS the surveyingsolution for skilled and nonspecialist users alike.

LEICA TMS SETOUT PLUScompared to traditionalstake-out methods can achieve optimised productionprocedures with considerablecost savings in personnel,set-out and profile complianceand by reduced down time.

Using LEICA TMS PROFILEin a typical 1000m tunnelwith in-situ concrete lining, a reduction of over-break ofjust 10cm will result in poten-tial cost-savings of well over0.5 million US$.

The LEICA TMS surveying solution brings together perfectly coordinated

system components. The hardware is based around the LEICA TPS1100

total station, while LEICA TMS OFFICE provides the software platform for

data management. A wide range of software application modules and

standard accessories makes your surveying tasks simpler and more

productive.

LEICA TMS – Tunnel MeasurementSystem – seamless compatibility

Application software on-board

On-board the Leica TPS1100total station: LEICA TMSSETOUT and LEICA TMSPROFILE. These powerful,tried and tested applicationprograms set new bench-marks in tunnel surveying.The modular LEICA TMSsystem architecture meansthe system configuration can flexibly adapt to meetproject needs.

LEICA TMS OFFICE data management

Multiple LEICA TMS appli-cations, all running within asingle software platform.This is the concept behindthe systematic data manage-ment principle of LEICA TMSOFFICE. Management of allmeasurements, set out andsurvey point data for everyTMS software applicationmodule takes place here.That brings numerous benefits:

Project data management

■ Define or import project data just once

■ Interactive project data entry with a graphic online display of all project elements

■ Define complex point groups (including sub-group management) and assign positions for automatic set out

■ Hierarchic data management for flexible project data editing

■ User-defined, project-specific menu displays for the tunnellingcrew

■ Data import/export in ASCII, DXF,GSI and Bever Team formats

■ PCMCIA card for exporting project data to the Totalstation

LEICA TMS – Tunnel Measurement System

LEICA TMS SETOUT PLUS: The round-the-clock surveyor for routine set out work

Surveying by the tunnelling crew:

Thanks to separate operatingmodes for the surveyor andtunnelling crew, TMS SEToutPLUS facilitates defined sur-veying tasks by the tunnell-ing crew and thus becomesan integral part of the produc-tion process. Avoiding wait-ing and down time quicklygenerates potential for timeand production optimisation.

■ The TPS1100 total station is set up as a stationary, console mounted, motorised constructionlaser

■ Lean working procedures at thetunnel face using predefined automated functions

■ Reduction of the surveyor’s on-site requirement by as much as two thirds

■ Two operating modes: DESIGN MODE for surveying specialists,PRODUCTION MODE for use by the tunnelling crew

■ Flexibility thanks to remote control

■ Intelligent system monitoring functions for continuous sur-veillance of instrument position

■ Project-specific menu display for the tunnelling crew

■ User administration with password protection

■ Log files for comprehensive quality control

No exaggeration: TMS SETout PLUS, with its ingenious operating concept,

adds a round-the-clock surveyor to your tunnelling crew. Once the tunnel

surveyor has set up the system, the crew can perform routine surveying

tasks themselves, using the total station as a motorised tunnel laser. That

makes for highly flexible and productive working, and less time on-site for

the surveyor.

Automatic functions for the simplest possible operation

As easy as using a mobilephone, the tunnelling foremancan do the routine productionsurveying tasks using theTMS SETout PLUS automaticfunctions in PRODUCTIONMODE. Guided by a project-specific menu display, thetunnelling foreman selects atask rapidly and directly bypressing the function keyson the RCS1100 remote con-trol.
