DATA MANAGEMENT 
Maxwell GeoSystems is seeing great success with its innovative MissionOS system.
Customers are discovering how it enables collaboration on projects. It’s proving to be a real 
game-changer for the construction industry and ideal for tunnelling applications. The system is being
chosen for major infrastructure development projects as well as ongoing maintenance management. 
This innovative technology platform is revolutionising how our clients can exploit automation of 
project data to reduce time & costs, making teams more eective. 
MissionOS is a bespoke software platform for the display and interpretation of construction data  
and has a module specically congured for tunnelling. The software utilises a robust, expandable, 
tiered and secure database architecture to process the construction data before displaying it on a fast,

MissionOS - Tunnelling
The STEMS Control Room on Singapore’s DTSS2 using MissionOS-TDMS 
to manage 100km of tunnelling built by 27 collaborating contractors with 86 shafts
The Tunnel Data Management System
(TDMS) is an application of both the 
MissionOS Designer and Builder streams 
combined into one integrated platform 
for the specic high risk construction 
activity of tunnelling. 
The platform combines several layers 
of functionality to enable the user to 
eectively link data to the tunnel 
excavation and lining process to design, 
investigation and instrument feedback 
for better tunnel process control. 
The portal allows the engineer rapid 
access to all the information associated 
with the tunnelling works. 
Any of the recorded parameters can be 
graphed for any section of the tunnel.
The Proven Solution for the Toughest Jobs
The TDMS system has been successfully utilised on numerous projects in Hong Kong (Regional Express

MissionOS
Managing Tunnel Risk
A critical element of any tunnel project is the eective management of risk & hazards. 
MissionOS creates an environment in which all relevant tunnel geological plans and proles together 
with pre-tunnel assumptions, including the geology revealed through drill hole data, can be easily loaded.
It is possible to identify hazards and register them within the MissionOS platform through simple 
digitising and classication. Additional relevant hazards & consequence meta-data such as building damage 
assessments can also be incorporated.
MissionOS can host all geotechnical and survey instruments installed in a tunnel as well as at the surface. 
On-going records of ground movement and instrumentation monitoring can then be carried out both in 
manual mode as well as in real-time.
The system hierarchy can be readily congured combining geotechnical, survey and TBM parameters into 
single & tables in order to assess correlations.
The unique MissionOS user-interface is extremely intuitive and allows for the creation of a bespoke 
dashboard for key instruments or parameters. 
Once congured, geological cross-sections and generic canvas screens can automate the reporting process, 
manage alarms, safety events and processes using collaborative blogs.
Importantly, this frees up valuable engineer’s time to focus on risk management and mitigation.

Obtaining accurate prediction data becomes quick and easy using MissionOS. The system provides a 
range of analytical tools enabling the user to create instant comparisons and the critical analysis of 
project data can be achieved dynamically.
With such a high level of built-in congurability, any TBM parameter can be immediately compared 
with predictions and instrument data as sections, plots & contours. The ability to combine key TBM 
parameters such as face pressure, thrust, cutter wear etc. with geotechnical data provides an important 
insight into critical parameters as the TBM progresses through the ground.

A signicant capability of the system is the newly introduced automatic 3D model generation feature. 
This allows for the interrogation of data to be presented in a 3D rendering in real-time.

Managing Productivity
QS Charts are easy to produce from a range of xed templates 
Easy-to-use interface for the creation of shift reports
MissionOS optimises all input data to generate a common cycle of statistics allowing for cross-comparison 
and analysis against the forecast plan. 
The system monitors the time records of all site related activities during excavation and throughout the
lining of the tunnel. Each record is then identiable within the critical path activity.
As the tunnel progresses, data can be acquired from the TBM in real-time and automatically converted 
into structured data & analysed using highly congurable graphing & reporting to produce customisable 
interfaces combining all key TBM machine data with other measured parameters.
Tunnel geology and hydro-geology information can also be incorporated with the MissionOS system.
Other construction records including temporary works ( Probing, grouting, mapping, support, installation),
QA/QC tests ( Both concrete & steel) plus photographic & CCTV records can all be included. 
This provides a platform for more comprehensive collection of data, from probe hole drilling & Pre/Post 
excavation records to photographic records of jobs and structures.
MissionOS was awarded a “Productivity Improvement Project” award by the Singapore Building Authority
in 2015.

MissionOS
Managing Safety
System users can easily operate the software through its intuative user-interface.
MissionOS allows the user to monitor all critical aspects of tunnel activities & safety in real-time.
The system automatically prompts Alerts and Actions to a heirarchy of users for assessment and further
interrogation of data. These warning notications can be sent by e-mail & SMS-text automatically, or
alternatively, by the engineer responsible after verication. Reports can also be produced in PDF format. 
The Blog feature gives user group members the opportunity to add their own comments and feedback 
to any given topic. Attachments can be included to a Blog comment and easily viewed. 
Users can search specic topics, check for updates as well initiate their own new threads. The system
automatically archives all Blog information ensuring that the data history is fully maintained throughout
the duration of the project and afterwards providing a valuable accesible library resource if required.
MissionOS is a highly congurable, structured operation system, which monitors and controls all the 
various activities a tunnel project generates, reducing risks and managing safety. 
The portal allows the engineer rapid access to all the information associated with the tunnelling 
works. Any of the recorded parameters can be graphed for any section of the tunnel

TBM Process Control
Tunnel process control is the feedback between the observed behaviour of the TBM and 
supporting plant with data records, predictions and observations. The objective is to tunnel
safely and eectively, maximising productivity, whilst minimising any harmful eects, such as
settlement. This feedback requires numerous streams of data to be connected and compared
in real-time and MissionOS is the most complete and congurable system to do this. 
System users can freely interrogate data and provide enhanced levels of supervision, knowing
that MissionOS is managing the data processing.
