GEOMETRIC CONTROLACTUAL MODULE WORKFLOW
DATA CHAINCapture → analysis → decision
From 3D capture to executive decisions.
Tunnel Tools goes beyond the profile. Geometric results can be consolidated in a Dashboard and executive reports so engineering, planning and management share one view of tunnel development.
Executive intelligence
Dashboard and Management Report: indicators, tracking by section and chainage, executive summaries and history to communicate results across field teams, the technical office, engineering and management.

Five stages connect 3D capture with profiles, quantity calculations and technical information delivery.
Step 1 of 5Capture or point cloud
STAGE 01 · TECHNICAL WORKFLOW
Capture or point cloud
Photogrammetry or LiDAR laser-scanning data enters the workflow as a compatible mesh or point cloud, retaining its spatial reference and tunnel-section context.
- 3D mesh or point cloud
- Spatial reference
- Verifiable coverage

Actual module captures show how geometric control is organized and converted into traceable deliverables.
01
Sequential profiles by chainage
Each cut retains its alignment, chainage, elevation, section and geometric source.
02
Spatial view of the tunnel section
The isometric view supports checks of orientation, continuity and overall position.
03
Longitudinal trend
Floor, roof and deviations are reviewed continuously along chainage.

AS-BUILT VS. DESIGN PROFILE
See the deviation. Measure its impact.
An explicit view of overbreak and underbreak separates the visual finding from the geometric measurement.
DEMO — ILLUSTRATIVE VALUESPK 0+024 · CROSS-SECTION CONTROL
A geometric difference becomes a reviewable measurement.
Tunnel Tools overlays the as-built profile and design section to identify excess excavation and areas where the design has not yet been reached. The visual reading retains its chainage and accompanies the calculated areas.

- 4,80 m²
- Underbreak
- 0,60 m²
- Profile balance
- +4,20 m²

Geometric evidence
As-built vs. design profile: a reused illustrative visual reference. It does not represent the specific geometry of the DEMO section or allow the displayed volumes to be derived.
Illustrative findings
- In this sample, overbreak volume exceeds underbreak volume. No acceptance tolerances are defined.
- The profile comparison makes outline deviations visible; review by chainage preserves the geometric context.
Technical conclusion · illustrative
Review deviations and their evidence by section and chainage before reaching an acceptance conclusion. Interpretation and technical approval remain the responsibility of the qualified professional.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What to know before an evaluation.
Integration, minimum inputs, illustrative data and the current product scope.
If your case is different, technical contact is available at the end of this page.
01Does Tunnel Tools replace Agisoft Metashape?+
No. Tunnel Tools works within Agisoft Metashape Professional 2.3.1 and adds specialized tools for alignments, profiles, geometric comparison, quantity calculations and technical deliverables.
02What do I need for an evaluation?+
A project with a mesh or point cloud, the tunnel alignment, the design section and a consistent spatial reference. The minimum inputs are reviewed during activation.
03Can I evaluate it with my organization’s data?+
Yes. The 15-day evaluation is intended to validate the workflow with one real tunnel section selected by the organization on an authorized computer.
04Are the Dashboard results from an actual mine?+
No. The values shown belong to an illustrative campaign and explain the product structure; they are not a promise of universal performance.
05Does the module already use predictive artificial intelligence?+
Tunnel Tools Professional prepares and relates variables for future analysis, but it does not claim to include a trained predictive model. The current priority is reliable, traceable geometric data.
06What happens when the licence ends?+
The module blocks production commands after the licence period, but it does not delete projects or results. The licence remains tied to the authorized computer.
07What happens after the 15-day evaluation?+
We review the results and the required scope. If there is a technical and commercial fit, a proposal is prepared for the appropriate licence option; there is no automatic purchase.
08What does the Tunnel Tools licence include?+
It authorizes use of the module for the period, computers and capabilities defined in the proposal. The exact content depends on the agreed licence option.
09Are implementation and support included?+
Only the scope stated in the proposal for the selected option is included. Additional implementation, onboarding or support needs are coordinated and quoted separately.
