Amberg Tunnel – Measuring gives you perspective
Amberg Tunnel – Measuring gives you perspective
Tunnel construction
Modern tunnelling is subject to numerous demands: Tunnelling companies must keep costs low, finish projects in less time and still keep up with the high quality and safety standards.
Subsequently the main goal is always to optimise the tunnel excavation process and workflows. Efficient, cost-effective surveying solutions are needed, without placing precision and safety at risk. Equipment needs to be tailored optimally to specific project requirements and be usable by the tunnel crew on site.
The Amberg Tunnel product portfolio offers the customer an innovative and reliable solution.

AMBERG SEISMICS
See ahead – build safer with Amberg Tunnel Seismic Prediction (TSP)
Today, successful tunnel builders don’t leave a safe and fast tunnelling to chance. They rely on TSP and avoid a costly decrease of production efficiency usually related to unforeseen geological hazards. TSP provides advance notice of geological uncertainties in the rock mass and is the key factor for efficient risk management.
- Very high suitability for use on construction sites: Malfunctions are reduced to a minimum
- Sophisticated, automated 3D data processing and visualisation: Precise and reliable information is illustrated for everyone
- Timely results: Valuable information come in when the right action has to be taken
