Gamuda has innovated tunnel maintenance by replacing manual data recording with a digital system, significantly enhancing efficiency in monitoring equipment wear, especially cutter discs. This shift not only streamlines maintenance but also improves the accuracy of cost estimates in tendering processes.
The construction industry, often perceived as slow in adopting digital innovations, faces significant challenges in data management, particularly in maintaining extensive records like the wear and tear of equipment.
The traditional methods, largely manual and paper-based, are prone to errors and inefficiencies. This gap in digital adaptation has long been a bottleneck in optimizing construction processes.
Gamuda’s Pioneering Approach with Cloud and CDE
Within Tunnel Insight, we have created a custom reporting form that directly syncs with ACC which can be accessed by tunnel engineers on-site and monitored by supervisors and analysts no matter where they are operating from.
The data collected would also produce a heatmap that helps identify trends for the wear and tear of the sensitive tunneling apparatus. The list of robust functionalities also include the ability to generate Intervention Report Logs and Inspection Lists.
Quick Recap Tunnel Insight: our in-house developed web-based platform for tunnel construction. It serves as a centralized hub for monitoring and managing various aspects of tunnel construction. Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC): ACC is a suite of software solutions that enhances construction project management through cloud-based collaboration and data management tools. It enables real-time data collection and analysis.

A Data-Driven Future, Accelerated
”This integration is not just about making monitoring easier. It also plays a crucial role in the tendering process. By accurately estimating the longevity of cutter discs through data collected via ACC, we can formulate more precise and competitive bids for future projects.

The adoption of ACC in tandem with Tunnel Insight brings multiple advantages:
Enhanced Data Accuracy and Accessibility: Digital data entry and storage reduce errors and provide easy access to historical data for analysis.
Proactive Maintenance Planning: Real-time monitoring allows for predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and extending the lifespan of critical equipment.
Cost Efficiency in Operations: With better data on equipment wear, we can optimize resource allocation and maintenance budgets.
