Without the processing automation of the software,


teams would have to manually verify the shotcrete by drilling holes in the lining in a grid pattern and measuring its depth. That’s not only laborious, it would require more personnel and would be more susceptible to errors.


Additional to the blasting and shotcreting, there is also


positioning and installing of varied bolts, such as rock bolts––a task the tunneling team can do autonomously with a dedicated workflow in Navigator. Performing a resection with the total station, they establish the rig’s position and import the coordinates into the rig’s cab.
