As-built versus design tunnel profiles

A cross-section is meaningful only when its location, orientation, source surface and design reference are clear.

Illustrative tunnel point cloud and geometric cross-section analysis in Tunnel Tools
DEMO — Illustrative technical view
Illustrative views, not customer results. Embedded interface labels remain in Spanish. Results depend on the survey data and documented engineering criteria.

Read the section before interpreting a distance

01

Measured and design profiles

The measured profile represents the surveyed geometry at a station. The design profile is the reference section applicable there.

02

Overbreak and underbreak

Overbreak identifies excavation beyond design; underbreak identifies areas where the excavation has not reached it. Interpret both with the agreed tolerance.

03

Direction matters

Horizontal, vertical, normal and radial distances are not interchangeable. Use a direction and origin appropriate to the floor, roof, sidewall or curved region.

Preserve continuity and uncertainty

01

Successive stations

Review the progression of cross-sections along the alignment and the corresponding floor and roof trends.

02

Open or incomplete profiles

Distinguish missing data from a real surface. Do not silently close an unmeasured region without a documented criterion.

03

Traceable output

Keep station, orientation, design revision, tolerances and source references with exported profiles and tables.

Start with your tunnel, your data and a clear validation objective.

Request a technical evaluation focused on cross-sections, as-built versus design comparison, quantities or traceable deliverables. The 15-day evaluation period begins when the licence is activated, subject to prior coordination and availability.

No automatic download. Commercial licensing and deployment scope are agreed after technical review; no unverified price or guaranteed outcome is advertised.
