Program overview
Program structure
Tunnel Manager is based on an SQL Server Compact Edition database, where all
tunnel data (tunnel lines, laser lines, drill plans, contours, section logs, MWD logs,
etc.) are kept in a defined structure.
The topmost level of the structure is the site. As an option intermediate structures can
be defined as Levels and Areas. These structures are especially designed to adapt
Tunnel Manager to use in mines.
A site can comprise of one or several tunnels, mostly operated from one office and
by the same drill rigs. A site contains one or several tunnels, each defined by a tunnel
line, fixpoints and drill plan rules.
The tunnel line is defined in the tunnel line table where the tunnel location is
specified by section numbers and x, y, z coordinates for the direction of the final
tunnel.
In the database structure each tunnel line have nodes for different laser lines, drill
plans and contours, that will be used for the excavation of different sections of the
tunnel.
The tunnel also have nodes for log data from the excavation (section logs, MWD
logs and profiler logs) that can be analysed and presented to improve drilling quality
and rock mass characterisation.
Starting Tunnel Manager

Tunnel Manager is started from the Program folder on the Start Menu or by ”Double
clicking” on a program icon that you place on the Desktop.
Figure 5 Program Icon
Installation  10
The main window
When Tunnel Manager is started the main window will appear:
Figure 6 Main window.

The main window is titled “Tunnel Manager”, “Tunnel Manager Pro” or “Tunnel
Manager MWD” depending on what option you have purchased. The upper part of
this window consists of a menu bar and below that a toolbar with 4 push buttons.
The area below the toolbar is divided in two parts. The left window show the
“Browser Tree” that is used to display and organise sites, tunnels and all data
connected to each category.
In the right window, the “Working area is used for displaying information and
properties of selected work sites, tunnel line, laser line, drill plans and drill log
reports etc.

The Browser Tree can comprise one or several Sites. Each Site can comprise one or
several Tunnel Lines, each representing one tunnel. The different types if data items
in the browser tree will be covered in the rest of this manual.
Filter logs in Browser Tree

Each tunnel line has a "Round Logs", "MWD Logs” (Tunnel Manager Pro/MWD)
and "Profile Logs" node under which a selection of sections is shown. There are
three modes on which the listings of logs are filtered.
Default settings will show the logs within the selected range of sections in the Tunnel View. Read more in “

Data Handling
Introduction
Before we can dig into the core features of Tunnel Manager we need to understand
how we handle data items. This chapter will focus on common functionality such as
adding, modifying, deleting, importing and exporting data.
Containers and data items

In windows explorer we are used to working with folders and files. Files contains our
actual data, folders are used to structure our files. You can put a file into a folder, but
you can’t put a file into a file.
In Tunnel Manager it works quite the same. In this manual we will refer to
“containers” and “data items” instead of “folders” and “files”.
In the browser tree below you can see how our data items (Test Drill Plan 1, 2 & 3)
which are located in our container (Drill Plans).
Data Handling  17
Add, edit and delete items
Add data item
To add a data items you need to address its container. If you want to add a drill plan,
use the “Drill Plans” container. Right-click on it and select “Add Drill Plan”.
Some containers, typically log containers, don’t allow you to add a log, but only to
import a log.
Open view / Switch view

Most types of data items have a default view representing the data. You open the
view by…
 …double-click on it.
 …right-click on it and select “Open View”
An existing node is opened by double-clicking on the node in the browser tree.
Different data from several projects can simultaneously be opened in the working
area, since each project is handled separately. Use the “Window” menu or the
browser tree to change between opened projects.
Rename data item

How Tunnel Manager lets you edit a data item depends heavily on what type of item
you are working with. Many types of data items are possible to rename by selecting it
in the tree and…
 …press F2.
 …right-click and select “Rename”.
 …left-click again.
Delete data item

To delete a data item, you can…
 …select it and press DEL button.
 …right-click on it and select “Delete”
Cut, Copy and Paste
In the same manner as files can be copied in windows explorer, data items can be
copies in Tunnel Manager.
For cut, copy and paste, the most convenient way is to use shortcut keys,
 Ctrl + X (Cut)
 Ctrl + C (Copy)
 Ctrl + V (Paste)
It is also possible to right-click on the item.
Paste
An item which has been cut or copied can only be pasted in the corresponding
container for that data item. To paste a drill plan, right-click on “Drill Plans”.
Drag & Drop

Items may be dragged between different containers by using standard Windows drag
& drop-behaviour.
Left-click on an item, hold the button pressed while moving the item to another
container. When placed above the container, release the button.
Import and Export
Almost all types of data items in the browser tree have one or more file formats
which they can be imported from and exported to.
Export
To export a data item, right-click and select “Export…”.
A standard file dialog will appear that allows you to select where to export the file. In
most types of data items you will be able to select which file format you want to use.
Import
To import data items, right-click on the container of the item type and select
“Import…”.
In the dialogue that appears, you may enter a folder path and press “Refresh file list”,
or you can choose to browse to a folder. The list will contain the files that match what
you are importing. If you are importing drill plans only xml-files that actually are
drill plans will appear in the list. Select the files you wish to import and press OK.
Planning phase
Sites
Introduction
A Site symbolises a worksite with one or several tunnels. If required a worksite can
be divided in several sites
Each site is identified by its name in the Browser Tree structure. All information
about a site is stored in the Tunnel Manager database.
Site properties
To modify the information of a site, “double click” on the site in the browser tree or
right-click and select “Site Properties…”
Planning phase  24
The following dialog will appear.
Figure 10 Property field for a new site.

In the property field, general information regarding the site can be entered. The fields
of this form are:
Name: The name of the site. The value of this field is

also used as a suggestion for filename in the
“Save As...” dialog box and to identify the site
in the browser tree.
Date: The date of creation, for example.
Sign: The signature of the "site manager".
Use Levels: A check-box to select the intermediate level
"Level".
Use Areas: A check-box to select the intermediate level
"Area".
Comment: Arbitrary comment to store along with the site.
Importing/Exporting sites
For general information on how to import and export data items in Tunnel Manager,
please read “Import and Export” on page 22.
A site-file contains the entire site and all data items in it. Sites can be stored in two
file formats with extensions .sit and .sitx.
.sit-files comes from versions of Tunnel Manager previous of 1.6. These files can
only be imported in Tunnel Manager 1.6 and later, not exported.
.sitx is a new file format which stores data in a more compact format and has Unicode
language support. Tunnel manager supports both import and export to this format.
For safety reasons it is recommended that you create backups by regularly perform
export of your Tunnel Manager sites.
Importing and exporting sites can consume a considerable amount of time if the sites
are large.
Site Production Report
Tunnel Manager offers the possibility to generate site production reports. Different
reports can be generated based on:
 Site
 Tunnel
 Drill rig
 Section interval
 Time interval
Right-click the site and select “Production Report”.
Figure 11 The production report window.

The fields of the window are:
Tunnel One or all tunnels can be selected.
Section range You can delimit the report to specified sections.
Rig From the drop list, you can delimit the report to
cover just one drill rig.
Date You can delimit the report to cover a specified range
of dates.
Settings By checking the box you can chose if you want to
have the detailed list of included log files or not.
Reports
All tunnels
A report choosing all tunnels will look similar to this:
Single tunnel
A report with a single tunnel will produce an extra page including the tunnel graph.
Fixpoints
Introduction
The reference or fixpoints used for navigation in the tunnel or mine are stored in a
Fixpoints node. Fixpoints can be typed or imported into Tunnel Manager.
Fixpoints View
The Fixpoints view is opened by double-clicking on the “Fixpoints” node. The view
is a standard data grid with editable cells. It is possible to paste in fixpoints from
Excel or a tab-separated list.
Figure 12 Fixpoint view.

A fixpoint is defined by:
Id: The number of the fixpoint that will be shown in

the drill rig when navigating with a totalstation.
This must be a unique identifier.
Name: A user name of the fixpoint. For the moment not
used in the drill rig.
X, Y, Z The coordinates of the fixpoint.
Type A classification of the fixpoint.
DirX, DirY, Optional. An end-point of the fixpoint vector
DirZ showing in what direction the fixpoint is visible.
Origin Where the fixpoint was defined.
Date When the fixpoint was defined or updated.
Importing / Exporting fixpoints

Fixpoints can be imported and exported in .xml (IREDES)-format.
Fixpoints also exists in .fix file format. Tunnel Manager supports only import of these
files.
Linking Fixpoints to Tunnel

This operation will be covered in “Linking Fixpoints to Tunnel” on page 77.
Rigs
Introduction
The Rig item represents a rig and its geometry. The purpose is to support the drill
plan designer with information about manual rotation angles and to have “Send data
to rig”-information in a suitable structure.
Rig view
Double-click in the rig to open the view.
The values possible to enter are the following.
Rig Info
Name The name of the rig
Boom type The boom type if the rig.
Rig id The rig serial number.
Export info
Export Path: When sending data to rig, this is the path where the data will
be exported to.
IREDES Version: When sending data to rig, this IREDES-version will be used.
Different file format does not support all versions of
IREDES. The most appropriate format will then be used
according to your choice.
Using subdirectories: Select if you want the data to be exported in a hierarchical
manner.
When Sending Data to a drill rig equipped with an Atlas
Copco Tunnel Profiler it is required that you use
Subdirectories. The RCS system needs to receive data in a
hierarchical structure when the Tunnel Profiler is present.
Boom
Available Indicates weather the rig has this boom.
Mounting Defines the boom mounting. This has to be correct in order
for manual rotation angles to work properly.
Boom body Defines where the boom body is positioned in relation to the
rig laser. The radius will define the size of the circle drawn
in drill plan designer.
Boom reach The radius will define a circle around the boom body
indicating the boom reach.
Feed Affects the graphical representation of the feed in drill plan
designer when using manual rotation angles.
Color The color of the sequence lines in the drill plan designer.
The feed height and side distances are individual for each boom type. The following
table show nominal settings for some boom types:
Boom type Height Side
BUT35 Top-Left 0.9 0.0
BUT35 Top-Right 0.9 0.0
BUT35 Side-Left 0.5 0.6
BUT35 Side-Right 0.5 0.6
BUT45 Top 0.9 0.0
BUT45 Side-Left 0.6 0.7
BUT45 Side-Right 0.6 0.7
Importing / Exporting Rigs

Rigs can’t be imported or exported to a file. The rigs will however be included in the
sitx-file if you choose to export an entire site.
Firing & Charging
Introduction
The data items in “Firing & Charging” are at the moment only used in the drill plan
designer. Since the node is placed under the site, these items are common for the
entire site.
Importing / Exporting Firing & Charging items

Firing and charging items can’t be imported or exported to a file. The items will
however be included in the sitx-file if you choose to export an entire site.
Explosive view
Explosives has a name and a density
Detonator view
A detonator has a designation and a family name.
Press the button “Edit firing delays…” to add firing delays to this detonator family.
Press “Add…” and you will be asked for the number and the delay in milliseconds.
Charge Combination View

A charge combination consists of a bottom explosive and a column explosive.
Drill Plan Rules
Introduction
Drill plan rules are used to generate the holes for a complete drill plan, except for the
cut. This option is valid either in Tunnel Manager Pro, Tunnel Manager MWD
or in the Boomer drill rig (ABC Total or ABC Regular). In Tunnel Manager Pro
and Tunnel Manager MWD there are possibilities to define several drill plan rules.
Importing / Exporting drill plan rules

Drill plan rules can be imported and exported in .xml-format. This format is not
officially a part of IREDES at the moment.
General
Figure 13 The Contour tab
A set of Drill Plan rules can be stored under a specific name. Several Drill Plan rules
can be defined; however all of the rules will be presented to the driller.
The type (a rounded roof = continuous or a flat roof) of the contour to be used for
drill plan generation has to be set in the rules. The correct choice is fundamental for a
correct hole placement.
Enable second contour:
Generation of a second contour can be enabled or disabled.
Contour tab
Displacement:
Distance tunnel wall-First contour.
Distance tunnel floor – Bottom holes.
Burden First contour:
Distance First contour - Second contour. Values are measured from
the bottom of the hole.
Burden Second contour: (if applicable)
Distance Second contour – easers. Values are measured from the
bottom of the hole.
Lookout:
The contour is made of two parts.
- Left/right wall and roof as first part
- and the bottom as second part.
Positive values make the holes point outwards (downwards) from the
contour.
The second contour (if selected) is oriented such that it is parallel to
the first contour.
Bottom type first contour:

Independent bottom creates a contour bottom which uses separate
parameters for hole space. These are entered at Hole space -> Bottom.
Area bottom creates a contour bottom which uses parameters for hole
space from:
- if you are not using a cut area; Areas -> Top -> Hole space
- if you are using a cut area and Areas -> Bottom -> Hole space.
Contour bottom creates a contour bottom which uses parameters for
hole space from Contour -> Hole space -> First Contour
“Independent bottom” is the general setting, which is used for most
applications.
Bottom type second contour:

Area bottom should be used as standard value, which basically
removes the bottom from the second contour.
Hole space first contour:

Distance between holes along the first contour.
Hole space second contour:

Distance between holes along the second contour.
Bottom:
Distance between holes along the bottom row.
Bottom burden:
Distance between the holes on the bottom row and holes that lie on
the row above the bottom row.
Area tab
Figure 14 The Area TAB
Left/Right/Top/Bottom areas:
A contour with reaming/cut area is divided in 4 parts.
The area below the reaming area is called Bottom area.
The area directly left/right of the reaming area is called Left/Right area.
The area above is called Top area.
Important: When no reaming/cut area is set to be used for generation, the whole
contour will be filled with holes, using the settings for Top area.
Left/Right side area burden:

The horizontal distance between holes.
Left/Right side area hole space:
Vertical distance between holes.
Top/Bottom area burden:
The vertical distance between holes.
Top/Bottom area hole space:
Horizontal distance between holes.
Reaming space:
To the left/right/top and bottom of the reaming/cut area, a distance can be defined at
which the drill holes will meet the reaming/cut area. These values can generally be
set to 0.00, unless a large reaming space is desired.
Advanced tab
Figure 15 The Advanced TAB
Lookup left/right/top/bottom:
When adding a reaming/cut area, the drill plan generation is split in four different
areas.
Each area can have its own look up of the drill holes.
When no reaming/cut area is available, the setting for “Lookup top” is applied.
The setting is relative, i.e. it adds to the value calculated by the generator, increasing
or decreasing its value.
Levels & Areas
Introduction
The information in Tunnel Manager can, optionally, be structured in Levels and
Areas. This function is merely developed for mines where there are numerous drifts
in several levels and areas.
Right-click on your site and choose “Site properties…”. In this dialogue, check
“Use levels” and “Use areas”.
You can now add levels and areas as desired. Add your tunnels under a site, level or
area depending on what is suitable.
Level properties
Level properties are reached through double-clicking on the level. Here it is possible
to give the level an appropriate name.
Area properties
Area properties are reached through double-clicking on the area. Here it is possible to
give the area an appropriate name.
Tunnels
Introduction
Tunnel lines are used as a reference line inside or close to the tunnel. Tunnel lines
mostly have one or several reference points to the external geographic grid system.
Tunnel Manager and the drill rig use a right orthogonal coordinate system where
the direction of the z-axis is upwards.
Importing / Exporting tunnels

Tunnel lines can be imported and exported in the .xml (IREDES), .tli and .tl8 file
formats.
It is also possible to import a tunnel line, as a table of coordinates, from other
programs or with other formats than the one specified above. I.e. if the data originates
from another computer program.
The format must, however, coincide with the first five columns in the tunnel table,
see Figure 16 .
The columns can be blank-delimited or TAB-delimited and decimal point (.) is
required.
A header can be present but is not required. The imported tunnel will always be
called "Imported". The name can be change in the properties dialogue of the tunnel,
see Figure 17.
Importing tunnel with linked contours and fixpoints

The IREDES-modification 1.2AC includes support for linking fixpoints and contours
to a tunnel line. If the files follow this format, they must be placed in a specific folder
hierarchy. The tunnel line shall be placed in a separate folder. The fixpoint and
contour files must then be placed in sibling folders named “fixed_points_xml” and
“profiles_xml”.
Example:
 C:\TunnelFromCAD\TunnelLine\MyTunnel.xml
 C:\TunnelFromCAD\fixed_points_xml\fixpoints.xml
 C:\TunnelFromCAD\profiles_xml\Contour1.xml
 C:\TunnelFromCAD\profiles_xml\Contour2.xml
The tunnel line table
The tunnel line table displays all data contained in, and connected to, the tunnel line.
The tunnel line table is opened by double-clicking on the tunnel line.
Figure 16 The tunnel line table.

The tunnel line table consists of nine columns, which are:
Section NB! This definition of the tunnel sections is critical!!

Sections are the relative distance in meter describing how far
into the tunnel the point is. The consistency of the distance
in meters is dependent on correctly entered values when the
tunnel is defined.
Section numbers and the x-, y-, z- coordinates must
correspond otherwise the navigation will be jeopardized.
Tunnel Manager does not check that the section numbers
and the coordinates correspond automatically. For validation
of tunnel line, read “Section number validation” on page 45.
X, Y, Z Coordinates of a point on the tunnel line. The coordinates
represent the distance in meters from a defined origin.
Within Tunnel Manager a left oriented coordinate system is
used. X is north, Y is east and Z is upwards.
Camber Angle between the horizontal plan and the bottom surface of
the tunnel profile.
Contour Reference to the contour to use for this section
Drill Plan Reference to the drill plan to use for this section
Bolt Plan Reference to the bolt plan or any type of drill plan to use for
this section
Injection Plan Reference to the drill plan holding the probe holes or any
type of drill plan to use for this section
Editing a tunnel line table
Generate a new section
To add a section to a tunnel line, first make sure the tunnel line table is visible and
selected. If not, double-click on the correct tunnel line in the browser tree.
The last line of the table is blank. A new section can be added to the tunnel line table
by writing directly in the last line of the Tunnel Line Table, see Figure 16.
When the cursor moves to another line or beyond the fifth column, the new section is
entered into the table, and the cursor is put at the last line again.
The first column, the section number, is mandatory and must always have a value.
If only the section number is added, or if some of the other cells are left blank,
Tunnel Manager helps you to automatically interpolate the coordinates and/or the
camber based on the sections before and after the entered section. If the new section
is smaller or larger than any other sections, the coordinates and/or the chamber is
extrapolated based on the two lowest or highest values.
If the newly added tunnel section is not located at the end of the tunnel/tunnel line,
Tunnel Manager will correctly place the new section so that the section numbers are
oriented in a consecutive order.
Edit a section
If you want to edit values in the tunnel line table, double-click on the cell that you
want to change. Rewrite or move with left and right arrow. Confirm with Enter.
Delete a section
If you want to remove a section from the tunnel line table, mark the entire row by
pushing the row-“button” to the left and press the delete button.
Tunnel Line Properties

The tunnel line properties dialogue box contains general information on the specific
tunnel line.
To open the tunnel line properties dialogue box, right click on the tunnel in the
browser tree and select “Tunnel Line Properties…”.
Figure 17 The tunnel line properties dialogue box.
The Tunnel Graph Window
The Tunnel Graph Window shows a graphical representation of the tunnel including
the tunnel line, tunnel width, laser lines, nearby tunnels, and site fixpoints. When
selecting a section it is also possible to view the drill plan and the contour of the
tunnel.
To open this view, right click on a tunnel in the Browser Tree and select “Show
Graph…”.
Figure 18 The tunnel graph window.

The left window shows the tunnel line and laser lines from above, i.e., data are
projected on a horizontal plan. The X and Y co-ordinates above and below the
window refers to the window borders. “Grid” is the grid size for both X and Y
direction.
The upper right window shows the tunnel line from the side: The section number is
the independent variable (x) of the graph. This means that, in this view, any turns of
the tunnel is straitened out. The Z co-ordinates above and below the window refers to
the window borders. Section numbers below the window refers to the window
borders. “Grid XY” is the grid size from left to right representing the length of the
tunnel in the XY-plane. Grid Z is the height of the tunnel.
The lower right window shows the profile of the currently selected section. If there is
a valid laser line for the section, the position of the laser will be represented by a red
dot. Below the contour is the section number specified, as well as the name of the
drill plan and contour, if present.
The circular green mark on the tunnel line in both graphs represents the position of
the selected section. To select a different section, use the left and right arrow keys or
left-click in the graph.
It is possible to zoom by using the toolbar or rolling the mouse-wheel.
Presentation of each graphs separately are also possible by selecting one of the tabs at
the top of the window.
The “Refresh” button could be used if data has changed outside the graph. For
instance if the coordinates of the tunnel line has changed or a laser has been added.
Compress tunnel line
The “Tunnel” menu is only available if the tunnel line table is activated.
Figure 19 Compress tunnel line

With the Compress tunnel line function the “unnecessary” sections in a tunnel line
can be excluded. If a tunnel line forms a straight line only the first and last section
numbers are needed. The Compress tunnel line function checks the tunnel line for
sections that are not needed.
The Compress tunnel line function looks at three adjacent sections. The middle
section is deleted if:
 it’s on a straight line between the two other sections (max deviation is
configurable, read “
Options dialog” on page 16).
the camber value differs less than the preset parameter (parameter is configurable,
read
the same or no contour is linked to the sections.
 the same or no drill plan is linked to the sections.
Before the compress action is taken there is a confirmation.
Figure 20 Confirmation question.

This action can not be undone!
Section number validation
To ensure that the section numbers are correctly set, there is a function “Section
number validation...”
This function checks that the distance (3D) between two adjacent sections are the
same as the distance calculated from the coordinates for the two sections. The
tolerance is configurable, read “Options dialog” on page 16
Figure 21 Validation report

The result from the validation is given in a report. Alternatives are “Ignore”,
“Correct” just this value or “Correct all”.
Tunnel Line Report
A tunnel line report over a Tunnel Line can be generated by right-clicking a tunnel
and selecting “Tunnel Line Report”.
The report consists of;
 Graphs from the tunnel graph view, and an addition graph for camber.
 The coordinate data from the tunnel line table.
 All laser lines.
Figure 22 Generate a tunnel line report.
Lasers
Introduction
In a tunnelling operation a laser line or a navigation laser is a specified line used for
navigation of production machines, for example drill rigs. The laser definitions define
the coordinates of the navigation laser in the tunnel.
The Laser View

The laser window contains a form for entering and editing laser line properties. The
laser window is opened by double-clicking on the laser in the browser tree. It is
however possible to use the laser definition with two or three points. The third point
is the optional middle point added mostly for control when manually entering the
laser. The third point is activated in the Options Dialog, read “Options dialog” on
page 16.
Figure 23 The laser window.

The fields of the laser window are:
Laser: Name of the laser
Date: Date for creating of the laser definition.
From Section: The section where the laser is mounted
To Section: The “theoretical” end point of the laser. Normally
initially somewhere inside the rock mass in front of
the face.
From – To define the range where the laser is valid.
At Laser (X, Y, Z) Co-ordinates of the starting point of the laser.
Middle point (X, Y, A point on the laser line. All three points must form a
Z) Optional straight line.
At Face (X, Y, Z) Co-ordinates of the end point of the laser.
The form also contains the check box labelled "Show Laser in Graphs" which
indicates whether the laser line should be visible in the tunnel graph window or not.
Importing / Exporting lasers
A laser definition is stored in a laser file with extension .las or .xml. In earlier
versions, up to four lasers definitions could be store in a single laser file. However,
Tunnel Manager handles only one laser definition per laser file. When importing
laser files consisting of several laser definitions to Tunnel Manager, each one will be
imported and stored as a separate laser definition.
Validation of a laser
The button "Validate Laser" will check the consistency of the laser. In the validation
check Tunnel Manager controls that;
 The direction of the laser specified by the coordinates for the laser “At
laser(start)”, “At face(end)” agree with the direction of the section interval
specified by “From Section(start)”, “To Section (end)”. I.e. that the laser
definition and the tunnel line correspond.
 The laser is valid within the tunnel sections and none of the From Section or To
Section must be defined outside the tunnel. N.B. the x, y, z coordinates can
however be defined outside the tunnel, but must be consistent with the tunnel.
 If the third (middle point) point is selected the validity check also controls if the
three points are on a straight line. Activate middle point in laser view in options
dialog, read “Options dialog” on page 16.
If a laser line is valid the OK is shown beside the Validate Laser button. If the laser is
not consistent (the rules above are violated) you will receive a warning as shown in
Figure 23.
Contours
Introduction
In Tunnel Manager, tunnel contours can be designed, edited, imported, organised and
utilized for the design and realization of a tunnel project. Contours for the tunnel or
drift can be used as a basis for design of drill plans and for control of a varying tunnel
contour.
For each tunnel (tunnel line) you can store all contours designed for that specific
tunnel. You can also assign these contours to the corresponding sections or to
specified drill plans. Tunnel Manager also offers a consistency check that the
designed drill plan and the designed contour match.
However, contours can be edited within Tunnel Manager.
Importing / Exporting Contours

Contours can be imported from .xml-files (IREDES) or .dxf- and .dwg-files
(AutoCAD). Tunnel Manager supports release 14 and release 13/LT95, but not
release 12/LT2 of AutoCAD.
Contour format conventions

 The contours are always considered to be drawn in the tunnel line direction. I.e.
increasing section numbers.
 The contour must form a closed loop; neither open forms nor free extra lines are
accepted.
 When designed and exported from AutoCAD, the dimensions of the tunnel
contour shall be metric and in meters.
 The origin (x=0 and y=0) of the drawing will be interpreted as the tunnel axis.
 It is recommended that the contour is defined clockwise starting from the left low
corner.
Contour properties
Right-click on the defined contour and choose “Contour Properties…”. The name of
the contour can be changed.
Figure 24 Contour properties
Edit a contour
Start the contour editor by double-clicking on the contour. The Contour Editor
window is opened, see Figure 25.
Figure 25 Contour Editor (General – X, Y, Z)

There are two modes to define the contour, General – X, Y, R (page 50) or Centre –
Angle (page 51). The mode is selected with the drop-down list in the upper left
corner.
General– X,Y,R
The editing menu consists of several sub windows.
Top window shows the graphical result of the contour definition. The reddish lines
show the defined contour. The red dot shows the position for the marked row of the
bottom sub window. The greyish lines show the circular segments of the contour.
The contour is always defined clock-wise from the left low corner.
The contour is always designed in the direction of the tunnel line!
Bottom window consists of a table where to define the breakpoints of the contour.
 The first column (Right) defines the horizontal coordinate, positive sign to
the right.
 The second column (Up) defines the vertical coordinate, positive sign
upwards.
 The third column (Radius) defines the radius of the next contour segment. A
straight line is defined by radius = 0.
 The fourth column defines the type of the present segment (roof, wall or
floor).
The contour is always displayed closed back to the first point, i.e. while defining the
contour it gradually opens up.
N.B. the contour must be closed! I.e. the last breakpoint must coincide with the first
breakpoint. The present version closes the design automatically but does not define
the last breakpoint; this can be confusing for the designer!
The contour Editor window is shown in Figure 25.
Centre – Angle
An alternatively method to define a contour is to use Centre – Angle, as shown in
Figure 26.
Figure 26 Contour Editor (Centre – Angle)

Top window shows the graphical result of the contour definition. The reddish lines
show the defined contour. The red dot shows the position for the marked row of the
bottom sub window. The greyish lines show the circular segments of the contour.
The contour is always defined clock-wise from the left low corner.
The contour is always designed in the direction of the tunnel line!
Bottom window consists of a table where to define the breakpoints of the contour.
 The first column (Centre Right) defines the horizontal coordinate for the
centre of the circular arc, positive sign to the right.
 The second column (Centre Up) defines the vertical coordinate for the centre
of the circular arc, positive sign upwards.
 The third column (Radius) defines the radius of the next circular arc. A
straight line is defined by radius = 0.
 The fourth column (Angle) is the angle for start of the circular arc.
 The fifth column (Arc/Line) defines if the segment is an arc or a line.
 The sixth column (Type) defines the type of the present segment (roof, wall
or floor).
The contour is always displayed closed back to the first point, i.e. while defining the
contour it gradually opens up.
N.B. the contour must be closed! I.e. the last breakpoint must coincide with the first
breakpoint. The present version closes the design automatically but does not define
the last breakpoint; this can be confusing for the designer!
Standard
The Standard function gives a possibility to define standard T-shaped contours.
Figure 27 T-standard contour

Suggestion: There are some predefined contours selectable by the drop-down list.
Graphical
The Graphical function gives a possibility to define the contour by pointing with the
cursor.
Figure 28 Graphical design of the contour
Figure 29 Graphical design

The lines are drawn by the cursor, radius must be manually entered.
Contour report
A Contour report can be generated from the Contour editor view. The report is
generated as an Excel worksheet.
Copy contour onto a drill plan

It is possible to copy a contour onto an existing or empty drill plan. The lines of the
contour will then appear as help lines when you design the drill plan in the Drill Plan
Designer. However, this is just a copy of the lines in the contour used for drawing
purposes.
To do this you mark the contour in the browser tree and drag it onto the drill plan. As
confirmation you are asked if the contour shall be copied as it is drawn or if it shall
be mirrored see Figure 30.
Figure 30 Copy a contour onto a drill plan.
Contours are always drawn in the tunnel line direction. However, if drilling is done in
the opposite direction the contour has to be mirrored to coincide with the drill plan.
Drill Plans
Introduction
One of the most essential parts of Tunnel Manager is designing and assigning
different drill plans for the sections in the tunnel line. Furthermore, Tunnel Manager
handles the import and export of drill plans back and forth to the drill rig.
Drill Plan Properties

Each drill plan has assigned properties. Right-click on the drill plan and select “Drill
Plan Properties…”.
Figure 31 Editing the properties of a drill plan.
Drill plan properties has the following fields:
Name The name you assign to the drill plan. This is the
name that will be used in the drill rig.
Rig The rig which the drill plan is connected to.
Contour The contour, if any, that is assigned to this drill plan.
Linking a contour to a drill plan will make it
possible to view a background contour in the
designer. The linked contour will appear next to the
name of the drill plan in the browser tree.
Direction This defines if the drill plan is to be used in the

direction of the tunnel line or in the direction against
the tunnel line!
The direction is visualised by a green arrow (along)
or a red arrow (against) in the drill plan symbol in
the browser tree.
Head Head text.
Date Date for creating the drill plan.
Planner Name of the planner.
Comment Free comments.
Importing / Exporting Drill Plans
The drill plan files to can be imported must from .xml, .dpc or .dpt files.
Match drill patterns with logs

This command examines the database and tries to match the selected drill plan with
available imported round log files, which has used this drill plan.
Right-click on the drill plan and select “Match Drill Plan with Logs”.
Edit a drill plan

To open drill plan designer and edit a drill plan, double-click the drill plan in the
browser tree.
Figure 32 The Drill Plan Designer main window.
Drill plan objects

Objects in this manual refer to the objects of which the drill plan is built upon.
There are three types of objects:
 Lines, also called Help lines, are used in different ways to simplify
working with a drill plan.
 Holes which represent the actual holes to be drilled
 Texts has no impact on the functionality of the drill plan but is used to
make human-readable notes.
Designer user interface

The designer is split in two panels: The interaction panel to the left and the
graphical panel to the right.
The interaction panel has a set of different views used for different purposes such
as editing object properties, view settings of the drill plan and manipulating the drill
plan.
The graphical panel is used for viewing and manipulating the objects.
Both panels will be covered later in this chapter.
Shortcut keys and Focus Frame

The designer responds to the usual shortcut keys, which also are available as menu
choices:
 Undo (CTRL + Z)
 Cut (CTRL + X)
 Copy (CTRL + C)
 Paste (CTRL + V)
 Delete (DEL)
However, it is important to know how and when the designer responds to these
actions since it depends on which part of the designer that is in focus. When the
graphical panel has focus it is indicated with a Focus Frame, a thin gray rectangle.
View the image below. Although it might seem like a fuzzy indicator, it appears
clearly when working in the application.
Figure 33 Focus frame

When the focus frame is visible, the shortcut keys (or menu choices) will apply to the
direct manipulations of the drill plan. For example, pressing CTRL-Z will undo your
last change to the drill plan.
If the focus frame is invisible, the shortcut keys will have normal windows behaviour
including copy paste of ordinary text etc.
Graphical Panel
To the right the drill plan is graphically displayed.
Figure 34 The DPD graphical panel.

The toolbar at the top enables different ways of manipulating the drill plan. The
buttons are grouped by their functionality. Below follows a description of each group.
Select / move objects -

There are two ways of selecting objects, arrow select and
rectangle select. When selecting you can use the CTRL,
SHIFT and ALT keys to add or remove objects to your
current selection, similar to the file explorer in windows.
Use the arrow to select one object at the time. If you

press CTRL or SHIFT, the clicked objects selection will be Select rectangle
inverted while keeping the selection on the other objects.
Use the rectangle to select several objects. Press

SHIFT key to add more objects to the current selection.
Press ALT key to remove objects from selection.
When the arrow is positioned above a selected hole, the
mouse cursor indicates that “move objects” is possible. Move objects
Push the left mouse button and drag the objects to the
desired location.
Select filter -
The select filter is directly related to the selection of objects above. There are three
kinds of objects: Lines, holes and texts. The different types of objects have a
corresponding button in the toolbar above. If none of the buttons are checked, like the
image above, all objects will be selected using the select tools. Toggle a button will
result in filter which will make it possible to select only that kind of object. You may
combine the selection by toggling for instance both holes and texts, but not lines.
The last button in the toolbar indicates group selecting. Toggling this button
will result in selecting not only the clicked object but also the group it belongs to.
Read more about grouping later in this chapter.
Zoom and Pan -

These buttons are quite self explanatory. Simply select one of them, push the left
mouse button in the designer area and move the mouse to reach your desired view.
Shortcut keys Ctrl will select Zoom, and Space will select Pan.
Add, Edit and Delete objects -

To add objects, click the one of the buttons above and use the left button on the
mouse to place the objects in the drill plan. Repeat this action as many times as you
want and when you are finished, press the right mouse button.
To delete objects, select them and push the DEL key on your keyboard or click the
delete button in the toolbar above. If you use the keyboard the focus frame needs to
be visible.
Editing objects is done in the interaction panel to the left of the designer tool. Make
sure the object properties view is visible by clicking the button . It is possible to
adjust the properties of the objects as they are added. For instance, the line added
below has a radius property set while adding.
Read more about object properties view and other interaction panel view later in this
chapter.
Figure 35 Add object (line)
Save, Undo and Redo

The changes made to the drill plan is not saved unless the save button in clicked. If
you close the designer and haven’t saved changed, you will be asked if you want to
save or not.
All manipulations made to the drill plan can be undone. There is no limit to the
number of undoable steps. There is a possibility to redo the actions if the undo button
was hit to many times. Undo is also possible using shortcut key CTRL + Z.
Remember to make sure the focus frame is present.
Display different views

When designing a drill plan different tasks require different kinds of views. The
designer supports three kinds of views: Front view, Top view and Free view. Use the
buttons in the toolbar to toggle their visibility.
Grouping objects
Object can be grouped to simplify selection and in some cases also to improve
functionality in the designer.
To group objects, select only one type (lines, holes or texts) and push the group
button. To ungroup objects, select the objects and press ungroup.
Grouping lines differs a bit from the other types of objects. When grouping lines they
have to be adjacent. Moving a grouped line will also move the adjacent lines.
Flip and Mirror objects

Select objects and use these buttons to flip objects around X-axis or mirror them
around Y-axis. Note that during the mirror action, boom sequences are switched since
the boom can’t be mirrored on the rig and we still want the proper boom no on the
correct position. If a sequence has manual rotation angles those are mirrored around
Y-axis.
Boom sequence handling
The boom sequence handling toolbar looks as below.
Strategy
The ABC Total option in the RCS (Rig Control System) on the drill rig has different
strategies for different types of holes. As a general strategy the feed is rotated to show
as much of the drill steel to the operator as possible.
For:
 Contour holes: The feed is rotated to get the drill steel as close to the wall as
possible without risk for colliding with the surrounding rock.
When a contour hole is drilled the boom is move a bit inwards and then to the
next contour hole (if in sequence) still maintaining the same lookout angle.
 Second contour
 Easers
 Bottom holes. The feed is moved that no part of the boom will be bellow the
button (hole line) of the tunnel.
 Cut holes
 Reamers are normally not part of an automatic sequence. If included they are
treated as an easer.
 Bolt holes. Not included in automatic sequences.
 Injection/grout holes. Not included in automatic sequences.
Boom sequence buttons
When editing sequences, make sure you have enabled the visibility of the sequence
information you may need, such as sequence numbers and lines. Adding holes to a
boom sequence is done by using the button . When selected, use the left mouse
button to select the holes to include in sequence.
To remove one or more holes from their sequences, select them and push the
button .
It is possible to move a sequence between the holes. Click
the button and square sequences handles appears on
the holes which are included in a sequence. Move the
cursor to a handle, click the left mouse button and hold it
down. Drag the handle to another hole and release the
mouse button. See the picture to the right.
It is possible to add a hole in the middle of a sequence.

Hold down shift and click the button and square
sequences handles appears on the holes which are included
in a sequence. Move the cursor to a handle, click the left
mouse button and hold it down. Drag the handle to another
hole and release the mouse button. See the picture to the
right.
Manually defined rotation angles
Manually defined rotation angles are only valid for the drill rig that they were defined
for. i.e. if you have drill rigs with different boom configurations you need to
duplicate the drill plans.
Make sure you have a rig connected to your drill plan. Right-click on the drill plan in
the browser tree and select “Drill Plan Properties…”. Select a rig. If the rig is missing
you can define a new one under the “Rigs” node. Please read “Rigs” on page 29.
To manually enter a rotation angle, use the button .

Square rotation handles now appears on the holes which
are included in a sequence. Move the cursor to the
handle and push the left button. Hold it down while
dragging the mouse to adjust the angle. Release the
mouse button. While dragging the boom feed is shown
as in the image to the right according to the settings you
made in the rig configuration.
Interaction panel
The interaction panel to the left contains a set of views used for different purposes.
Each view has its own button in the toolbar at the top. The current view is indicated
by its button being checked. This chapter will cover the functionality of the views.
Figure 36 Interaction panel
Object properties view

This is the most important view. In the image above, no objects is selected. By
selecting only one type of objects the properties appear as in the picture below where
a line is selected:
Figure 37 Object properties view

It is possible change a line into an arc by adding a radius. Make sure the radius is
large enough.
The properties adjust themselves according to the objects selected. If only one object
is selected, the objects all properties have values. If many objects are selected,
properties which share the same values have their value set. As an example, view the
three holes selected below to the right. They all share the same X and Z coordinates,
but the Y coordinate is of course not the same and therefore the value is empty.
Adjusting the X-value will move all holes along the X-axis. Adjusting the Y-value
will result in all holes being placed on the same coordinate.
Figure 38 Properties for holes

It's possible to step along the holes by pressing the arrows in the top area of the hole
Properties menu.
The Hole Number in section “5. Misc” above is possible to edit. If the entered Hole
number already exists all hole numbers will be shifted one step ahead.
Hole settings view
The hole settings view handles the appearance of holes in the designer.
Figure 39 Hole settings

Choose which hole types to display, if you want to display hole number, lookout lines
and holes from bottom. Adjust the hole size property of you want the holes to appear
larger, which could be nice to make the easier to select.
Misc Settings view

Linking data to the tunnel line
Introduction
A tunnel project is normally designed in advance, specifying both the location of the
tunnel and the geometry and design of different parts of the tunnel.
From an engineering point of view the tunnel location is specified as a tunnel line and
the geometry and design of the tunnel in different contours associated to different
sections of the tunnel line. In order to accomplish the final tunnel contour different
drill plans, bolt plans and injection planes are used for different section of the tunnel.
In Tunnel Manager this is done by assigning contours, drill plans, bolt plans and
injection plans to different tunnel sections in the tunnel line table. It is also possible
to assign specific drill plans to specific contours in order to simplify work and reduce
mistakes.
Assigning contours to tunnel sections

A contour can be assigned to a specific tunnel section. That means that the tunnel
section must follow the assigned contour and that any drill plan (not bolt or injection
plan) must be consistent with the same contour.
To assign a contour to one or several sections of a tunnel line, select the appropriate
cells in the tunnel line table by clicking and dragging. Then drag and drop a contour
from "Contours" node in the browser tree, to the selected area.
Assigned contours and drill plans will show up in the “graph window” of the tunnel
line.
Assigning drill plans to tunnel sections
A drill plan is assigned to sections in the tunnel line table using drag and drop from
the browser tree. Drill plans are assigned to the section after which it has been placed
in the table, see Figure 48 to Figure 50.
Figure 48 Mark the sections.
Figure 49 Drag the drill plan to the marked sections
Figure 50 Release the mouse and the drill plan is assigned to the sections
Remove Drill Plan/Contour Link
This command, Tunnel menu, is used to remove a drill plan or contour from a
specific tunnel section. With this command you do not delete the Contour or Drill
Plan, just erase the link between the contour, drill plan and the tunnel line.
To use the command mark the contours or drill plans you want to remove from the
tunnel line. Then use the Remove Drill Plan/Contour Link.
Assigning bolt- and injection plans

Bolt- and injection plans can be added to the tunnel line table without any
restrictions.
Linking Fixpoints to Tunnel

To decide which fixpoints that belongs to which tunnel there is a linking feature in
Tunnel Manager.
Double-click on the “Fixpoints” node to open the fixpoints view. Now push the
“Link…” button.
In the following dialog, select which tunnel you wish to work with in the dropdown-
list. Mark the fixpoints which you wish to connect. You could also switch perspective
using the button in the upper right corner. This will allow you to connect one fixpoint
to many tunnels, instead of connecting one tunnel to many fixpoints as in the picture
below.
Tunnel Manager offers an auto-link feature. Press “Auto…”. Select the tunnels which
you want to auto link.
Enter a suitable valid distance. All the fixpoints in the site will be calculated the
shortest distance to the tunnel line (3D). If the shortest distance is smaller than your
given valid distance, the fixpoint will be linked.
If “Keep existing tunnel links” is unchecked the existing links will first be removed,
then all fixpoints within the valid distance will be added. Keep this box checked if
you don’t want to remove links, just add new ones.
Linking through browser tree
There is also a possibility to auto link fixpoints directly from the browser tree. Right-
click on the tunnel (area, level or site) and the dialog will only check the appropriate
tunnels for you.
Data to the Boomer
Introduction
Tunnel Manager is a planning and evaluation software integrated with the drill rigs
that are used in the tunnelling operation. Transferring data from the program to the
rig and from the rig and back to the program is therefore an essential part in order to
achieve maximal function of the system.
Designed tunnel line, laser lines, drill plans and fixpoints is initially transferred to the
rig and used for conducting the drilling operation. After drilling, log data is
transferred back to Tunnel Manager for analysis and evaluation in order to improve
planning of the next round.
Data transfer to rig

To transfer the data (tunnel line, laser definitions, drill plans, fixpoints) to the rig,
insert a PC-card/USB-stick in the computer and select the “Send Data To Rig”
command in the “Tunnel” menu. To do this the tunnel line table must be open in the
working area.
Figure 51 Sending data to the rig.
Data to the Boomer  80

If some sections are marked in the tunnel line table, only data for these sections will
be exported to the rig. If no section is marked the whole tunnel will be exported.

Round logs
Introduction
A round log file is generated for every drilled round. The log contains geometrical
information of the round such as hole length, collaring points etc. The file also
contains time and statistical information from the round such as start and stop times
and average parameter values etc. This information provides an important foundation
for improving the drilling quality and the production rate.
Round logs are, like all other data, administrated in the browser tree under the “Log”
node. You can store multiple round logs on the same section in the browser tree. A
digit after the log name will show how many log files that exists for the section.
Round logs  82
Importing / Exporting Round Logs
Round logs files are transferred on a PC-card from the rig to the office computer.
Round logs from Boomer ABC Regular or ABC Total are imported with the Import
Round Logs (File Menu). Log files can be in *.log or *.xml (IREDES) format.
The imported round logs will show up in the browser tree. If you miss any of them
you shall control the optional "Show All Logs" in the "View Menu".

MWD Logs
Introduction
The following section is valid completely for Tunnel Manager MWD and partially
for Tunnel Manager Pro.
MWD is a technique to characterise the mechanical properties of the rock mass. It is
done by monitoring all relevant drill parameters during production drilling. Through
analysis, where variations due to interference by operator or control system are
removed from the data, only rock dependent parameter variation will remain. This
provides a true characterisation of the penetrated rock mass.
Compared to other methods for characterisation of the rock mass, MWD technique
provides:
 Very high data resolution since data is extracted with a few cm interval in all
production holes.
 Very low cost since monitoring of data is conducted automatically during normal
production drilling.
 Very low data risk, since monitoring is performed during the drilling of the hole,
and no instruments have to be inserted after drilling is completed.
 Minimal disturbance of production. MWD will require very limited extra work
for the operator.
MWD technique is available on all computerised drill rigs from Atlas Copco.
An MWD log file is generated for every hole that has been drilled with the MWD
option active. The raw data parameters that will be monitored are:
 Depth (mm)
 Penetration rate (cm/min)
 Feed pressure (bar)
 Percussive pressure (bar)
 Damping pressure (bar)
 Rotation pressure (bar)
 Rotation speed (rpm)
 Water pressure (bar)
 Water flow (litres/min)
MWD Logs  95
In Tunnel Manager MWD also calculated parameters based on MWD data are
available. The present parameters are:
 Rock hardness
 Rock fracturing
These parameters are un-calibrated rock mass parameters based on the theory in the
references below.
1. Schunnesson, H., Rock Characterisation Using Percussive Drilling. Int. J.
Rock Mech. Min. Sci. Vol 35, No. 6, pp.711-725, 1998.
2. Schunnesson, H: RQD predictions based on drill performance parameters.
Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, Vol. 11, pp.345-351, 1996.
The hardness parameter has in real applications shown good correlation with uniaxial
compressive strength and the fracturing parameter has shown good correlation with
RQD. Tunnel Manager MWD is also prepared for additional calculated parameters
that are open and available for anyone to design. This analysis must be written as a
.NET assembly.
Tunnel Manager Pro contains graphical tools for handling and analysis of both
raw MWD data and (Tunnel Manager MWD) calculated parameters. All graphical
tools and presentation features is similar for all types of data (raw data, calculated
parameters or customer designed parameters).
Importing / Exporting MWD logs

If the MWD option is active, on the drill rig, a MWD log is generated for each drilled
hole. Each MWD log is stored in a separate data file, on a PC card, on the rig. After
the drilling is completed the PC card is transferred to a computer with Tunnel
Manager Pro/ Tunnel Manager MWD installed.
Exporting MWD-logs is not available in Tunnel Manager. You could, however,
produce reports.

MWD Color Scaling
Introduction
The color scaling is essential for presenting data both in the detail graph window and
especially in the 3D window. Tunnel Manager MWD offers two possible color
scale types:
 A relative color scale with only max and min values for the color range.
 A fixed color scale (Advanced Colors) that offers full freedom concerning colors
and intervals. With this scale a detailed calibration of calculated parameters can
be done for a specific site. Based on mapping or other available geomechanical
data, color intervals can be specified to represent defined intervals of rock
strength, fracturing or any other parameter. Based on this defined site calibration,
rock properties for new data can be predicted and presented graphically.
MWD Parameters View

The selection of color presentation is done individually for each site. The choice
between a relative scale and a fixed scale for each parameter is done in the MWD
Parameter View. To open this view, expand the current site in the browser tree,
expand “Settings” and double-click on “MWD Parameters”.
If the check box in the “Advanced colors” column is check a fixed color scale is
selected otherwise a relative color scale is selected.
Figure 61 The selection of color scale in the MWD Parameters view.

The columns “Min valid value” and “Max valid value” allows you to set a filter on
the MWD data so that custom MWD parameter doesn’t use out of boundaries data
when calculated. The filtered line is possible to view in the detail graph in
“Restore default settings” will restore the initial settings for all parameters in the list.

(distance/(distance )). If the exponent is set to
1 than the point value is influencing the entire
influence area with its full value. The higher the
exponent the points influence on the surrounding
area decreases. Values between 1 and 10 are
accepted.

Profile Logs
Introduction
Profile log files, scanned with the drill rig, can be imported, evaluated one-by-one
and evaluated over the tunnel.
Importing / Exporting Profile Logs

When importing Profile Logs, if the tunnel name in the file matches the tunnel you
are importing to, the files will be checked when the dialog opens.
Tunnel Manager support importing of .lg4, .lg5 and .pxy-files.
Exporting profile logs is not possible. You can, however, create reports.

Settings for profile log evaluations
There are several parameter for evaluating the profiler logs, see Figure 75.
Figure 75 Settings for profiler log evaluation

Explanations:
1. General
1. Pel delta (m) Setting for calculations and stepping in chainage in
the viewer. If this is set to 0,5 meters the program
will take all the points that are 0,25 meters in each
direction from the actual chainage and draw them in
the viewer. The program will also calculate over
and under break from these profiles.
2. Contour layer used in If the contours contains several layers, like a
calculations blasting contour and a theoretical inner contour, it
will be possible to choose the reference layer.
3. Print every (profile) If the Pel delta is set to 0,5 and viewer is set to for
example 10 steps, the contour for every 5 meter
will be printed.
4. Contour radius add (m) This is for making the contour bigger or smaller.
Can be used to calculate overbreak/underbreak with
an offset to the original contour.
5. Extended contour interpol Normal interpolation from one contour to the next
index is done with the 1/R (radius) formula. This
extended version will do the same but with exact
tangent between the different radiuses. -1 indicates
value off. The extended interpolation will begin
from the radius that is given here. If the value is 2

then the extended interpolation will begin at the
second radius.
2. View
1. Hidden points To hide or show the points that is outside the values
set in the “Filter”
2. Estimates This is to turn on/off estimates in calculations. The
values are set in the “Estimation” dialogue.
Calculations is done between the given limits.
3. Draw line between points Turn on/off lines between the scanned points.
4. Minimum deviation from Turn on/off a graphical mark with value where the
contour scan is closest to the theoretical surface.
5. Maximum deviation from Turn on/off graphical mark with value where the
contour scan is furthest away from the theoretical surface.
6. Deviation every(m) To show a graphical mark with value at for instance
every 2 meter along the contour.
7. Model A triangulated model is made. From this model a
contour is calculated at the given peg value. No
changes can be made and saved in this mode.
3. Filter
1. Maximum distance If the distance between two points exceed this value
between points (m) there will not be drawn a line between them.
2. Maximum deviation All point outside this value will not be used in
outside contour (m) calculations. They can also be hidden if the
“Hidden points” is turned on.
3. Maximum deviation All point inside this value will not be used in
inside contour (m) calculations. They can also be hidden if the
“Hidden points” is turned on.
4. Estimation
1. Left side length along Where to set the start of the estimated
contour over floor start (m) values/calculations. If there are no points where the
estimate start the program will take the average
deviation and use that value where there are missing
points.
2. Right side length along Where to set the end of the estimated
contour over floor start (m) values/calculations. If there are no points where the
estimate ends the program will take the average
deviation and use that value where there are missing
points.

Recalculate
When having changed any of the settings it is necessary to recalculate the profile log
data. Recalculating is commanded as in Figure 76.

Profile Log Reports
Introduction
The scanned tunnel can be documented with the Profile Log Report. The Profile Log
Report could be activated in two ways:
 Right-click on the tunnel and select “Profile Log Report…”
 Select a number of sections in the tunnel view, use the “Tunnel”-menu and
select “Profile Log Report”. This option will fill in the section values in the
next dialog.
There are two types of profiler reports, one graphical and one numerical. See Figure
78. If there are templates available and if there are several types of points, those
parameters are selectable here.
The section numbers marked in the tunnel table are displayed. It is also possible to
edit the section numbers. The profiler report will be generated between these
sections.
Figure 78 Generate profiler report

Numerical report
The numerical report is generated in Microsoft Excel and consists of three pages, plus
three pages with raw data. The three report pages are Summary (Figure 79),
Distances outside the theoretical profile (Figure 80) and Area outside the theoretical
profile (Figure 81).
