Tunnel Design

Tunnel Design Module

GEOVIA GEMS™ Tunnel Design automates much of the tunnel design process to eliminate repetitive steps, and reduce design errors. With the abilitfy to automatically space and locate safety bays and check intersections for clearances between equipment and infrastructure, it’s easier to create tunnels quickly while ensuring safety standards are met.

Benefits

• Tunnels are created using only centrelines and combination of profiles to automatically create walls and solids, reducing the number of steps it takes to create a tunnel
• By using profiles instead of manually modelling tunnels, GEMS makes it possible to change a tunnel’s profile many times along its length for the easy addition of elements like safety bays and ore pass pullouts.
• Ramp design is made faster with preconfigured templates and time saving design tools that roll up multiple steps into one.
• Merge intersections easily with the fileting feature to create realistic turning circles.
• Easily merge sections of an existing tunnel centreline so intersecting line segments transition smoothly
