Risk Management Tool For Groundwater & Settlement Control

MissionOS as a Risk Management Tool

Insurers require every construction project to implement active risk management. This comprises the identification of geographic and well as activity based hazards, evaluating consequence and risk and alerting the various project staff on a constant basis as information and progress changes.

Admin users can design activity lists for both planned and actual shifts accompanied by plant and labour records. A variety of shift report types are available from simple manual gantt type data entry, zone and rig- based with activities which can be populated directly from dataloggers. Hazard and risk data can be added for activities as well as geographical risks and combined in blogs into live reports.

Records and forms are a key component of all construction contracts and their production can absorb staff time unnecessarily, particularly if there is double handling. MissionOS automates the preparation of reports by linking to activity records to ensuring that records are always there and consistent. Users can create any data model for construction and link it to shift report activities. An activity starts a parent records which can have any number of child data models eg. Concreting with records for Batch/Delivery, Samples for testing, In Situ Tests.

Geology records shown above can be combined with muck volumes and machine parameters (foam quantities) to evaluate disposal requirements. MissionOS canvas report interface allows users to create any report format desired including graphs, tables header, pictures.

Solving Data Management at Tender | Tender Services

The first thing that happens when a tender starts in your organisation is for a few gigabytes of PDFs to land in your inbox from the client. The second thing is for your colleagues in a variety of offices to start bombarding you with questions about the job because you are "the person on the ground". What if you could quickly put this into a digital twin to provide the context of the data and make sure everyone understood the job at hand ? What if you could extract data as data from PDFs and other sources and build up the design directly in the twin using predictions published to the twin by co-workers ? You can in MissionOS using some simple steps.

 Update as tender addenda

Tender addenda are a constant headache and Mission is the ideal way to manage them. MGS manage the updating of relevant documents and highlight those that have changed.

Sentinel satellite data is a free resource that can be captured to give you a digital terrain model of the area of interest to an accuracy of 3m. With processing this can also give historical background movement. Processing is quick and can be done automatically and loaded to MissionOS.

Create base maps: Users can load and georeferenced maps straight from Google or from Geology Maps or Utility maps and give context to the information.

Load the PDF drawings: Load the PDF drawings to geographic locations and tile them so they are all together. Applies to maps, long and cross sections. Use these as a canvas to start designing.

Common Data Environment for BIM in construction work

MissionOS Common Data Environment

Reading and writing to BIM via IFC Managing design changes via "design state"Reading and Writing Progress and Linking to P6 Programme Linking to Activities and Records Metadata Records

MissionOS has the capability to create comprehensive common data environments for construction works. Whilst it is not a CAD programme and is not used to create design drawings, it hosts a wide variety of geometric objects describing elements of construction and manage all the associate metadata for your project.

MissionOS combine the best elements of GIS with the reality of 4D BIM. Job elements are organised according to a hierarchical structure which aligns with project programme and BIM object structures.

Subjob -> Job -> Parent-> Master

For an example of DWall piling:

Bite -> Panel -> Dwall -> Site

This simple, yet powerful structure facilitates the creation of site records including time shift reports and associated metadata and for the tracking of project progress.

MissionOS job hierarchies and time management are configurable, and the associated metadata can be created to support any BIM level of detail.

MissionOS can retrieve job data from 2D drawings or schedules. Data from BIM authoring packages can also be imported via platform neutral IFC files. On import MissionOS extracts and simplifies geometry to optimise it for web viewing.

The same system can also create IFC files for returning to the BIM drawing environment to update the models.

MissionOS is structured to enable the BIM object status to be classified according to design status. Only jobs in status "For Construction" can receive progress. MissionOS automatically extracts objects from the BIM and recreates them within structures and metadata assigned as would be possible in any BIM environment. In addition, design predictions such as deflections or settlement can be published to the system as required.

Addition of progress for jobs is extremely easy and can be via direct input, file upload or email, or from machine data sources. Mission keeps the activity ID for the master programme so rates of progress can be communicated and updated directly allowing for better forecasting.

Each progress record can have commentary and photo and document metadata records attached.

In addition to simple progress records the user can define activity recording schemes build around delays codes. These activity schemes can be applied to the Master or Parent activities and can track the activities behind the production of each subjob element.

Various shift management options are available from simple manual reports to zones based and fully automated production monitoring linked to multiple machines.

Each time entry can be linked to progress of a job and construction records so that that all records are intimately linked to each object. These records are completely configurable by the users and can be set up to follow any specification requirement or business branding.

Off-site Construction & Component Management

Factory Management Systems

Maxwell GeoSystems configurable MissionOS platform is being used to manage all aspects of componentised "off-site" construction. The combination of SCADA, GIS and BIM in one web-based platform leads to simpler systems and more connected working.

Process Management

We create bespoke SCADA type factory production interfaces to manager process flow in real time (<5 seconds). Hundreds of process sensors can be arranged to track production lines according to your exact requirements.

The data from these sensors are automatically linked to the production shift report module which records production, waiting and downtime according to a set of codes you design.

Maxwell GeoSystems and sister company, Etherterra, design embedded instrumentation systems for a variety of conventionally reinforced and fibre reinforced components. These new IoT solutions use new techniques to monitor the components during construction and installation with no trailing wires, low power and high sampling rates. The use of embedded electronics reduces the size and cost of these systems and removed 80% of the cabling leading to better results and less deleterious effect on the component for the instrumentation exercise.

These system have been used during projects to confirm performance as part of acceptance tests for alternative designs.

Each completed component is registered to the production system with the details of geometry, reinforcement, concrete, gasket, bolting etc all recorded as manufacture time to a parent record. Using the "positions" features the production line can be pre-described and QRCodes assigned to mould numbers for printing and attaching ready for transport.

Each component parent record has a number of child records which can track a variety of QA/QC checks including concrete and reinforcement tests, cover-meter tests, visual assessments and laser-scanning files.

Once created, the components go to temporary store awaiting transport. MissionOS has a very flexible system for creation of stacked storage facilities with the status of each component colour coded and geographically located.

By referring to the position management system at the point of delivery, MissionOS can help to arrange objects for delivery in the optimum order for direct insertion into the works.

Using the storage tracking logic, components can be assigned to temporary stores representing transport systems (eg. Trucks) by reg no. These trucks can be also treated as GIS objects and tracked using GPS trackers so you never lose touch with a components location and eta at site. For congested work sites, this information is important to ensure environmental compliance and that the required components arrive in the correct order.

By using the diagnostics capabilities of the GPS trackers you can also automate shift reporting of your transportation systems and identify causes for supply issues and improve the production logistics.

Arriving at site, the QR codes are scanned as the components are sent to form part of the construction.

In another example of the position management features in MissionOS, a user can set up pre-defined position arrangements for components and in the transfer to the work front check that components are sent in the order in which they are expected. This enables fabrication to be done quickly and easily especially in tight places where there is little or no opportunity to store components temporarily.The real-time digital twin capabilities of MissionOS help users visualise and track the build as it proceeds and bring in other data sources which may be relevant such as this plot of TBM thrust forces on each ring.

Ground Risk Services Using Geostatistics | GI Data Auditing

What is Geostatistics?

GI Data Auditing and Exploratory Data Analysis.Subsurface Geology CharacterizationSubsurface Geotechnical CharacterizationGeological-Geotechnical Risk Assessment & Mitigation PlanningIntegration of Historical Data and ModelsUpdate Models with New DataWhy Geostatistics?

Most interpretation of project geology is deterministic in that a geologist or Engineer makes a determination of a single interpretation of the model. There is no measure for how good this is or how coloured this might be by their own practical experience. As such it is difficult to rigorously defend against any other expert opinion. Geostatistical simulation provides a means for truly quantifying the uncertainty spatially in the interpretation. For example, the uncertainty around the location of lithological boundaries, or the presence of lenses and boulders. It tells you what it is possible to interpret from the data set and the confidence in all possible interpretations while offering a best estimate. You decide the level of risk you want to take. It is used widely in mining and environmental contamination studies and the process is normally as follows:

Auditing and checking borehole logs and other ground investigation (GI) data in your project is time consuming. It can also be challenging to identify potential outliers or anomalies that require further investigation. Utilizing spatial trends present in the subsurface properties, geostatistical methods are employed to perform a detailed review of the GI data and check for potential outliers or anomalies that may exist. Furthermore, we can provide independent review of the 2D and 3D geological models for the project.

Owners, Designers and Contractors alike are often forced to rely on one single deterministic interpretation of the subsurface geology. The uncertainty in the interpretation is seldom quantified in a meaningful manner and leads to misguided confidence in the model.

The 2D and 3D geological models never provide the entire information of the ground properties and how it will influence construction. Understanding the spatial variability and uncertainty in geotechnical parameters provides significant advantages to all parties of the project. Geostatistical methods can be employed to develop 3D models of geotechnical parameters. The models can then be translated to specific risks and construction means and methods. These models take the form of 3D grids which can be extracted for analytical and numerical analyses.

We provide know-how and experience to assist you with translating the geological-geotechnical model to a 3D risk model. With this model, we can

quantify specific risks spatially over the project extent. This leads to improved risk assessments and mitigation planning. Examples of risk assessments these models can be applied to include: Likelihood for different site conditions, Clogging potential, Cutter tool wear, Groundwater issues and Ground movements.

Historical data near and around the project site is obviously invaluable to the current project - this includes both GI data and construction data from past projects. However, this data is not always clean and easy to integrate with the current project data. After careful auditing and analysis of the historical data to ensure accuracy, it can be used to improve confidence in the subsurface models and risk assessments.

Unfortunately, we find that only a single model of the subsurface geology is often used throughout the entire project, and this remains true even after additional data is collected during construction. This new data can be in the form of direct data about the subsurface conditions via boreholes, face maps and muck logs, and indirect data in the form of TBM operating parameters, probing records, geotechnical instrumentation data, interventions and shift report activities. All of this new information can be used to continuously update the subsurface models during construction, and improve the understanding of the true ground conditions. Furthermore, this data can be used to improve/update predictions of ground conditions to be encountered – resulting in better construction performance.

Geostatistics is a class of applied statistics used to analyze the spatial relationship of data in order to make predictions at unsampled locations. It is considered the best approach to model the spatial distribution and variability of geological and geotechnical properties. It provides a framework to integrate data from many sources (e.g., geological interpretation, direct measurements and secondary measurements/information. The method is practical (consistent with the data), repeatable and can easily be updated as additional information is obtained.

Tunnelling Analytics | Automated Tunnel Data

Analytics for Mechanised Tunnelling

MissionOS Data Object ModelsMonitoring ObjectsGeospatial DataConstruction ObjectsPredictionsData Warehousing for Knowledge EngineeringCycles and Cycle Statistics

In order to do repeatable feedback on tunnel data first the information has to be gathered in structured automated or semi‐automated ways. The MissionOS platform has a completely configurable and dynamic data model which enables users to create tables.

Monitoring objects include sensor data recorded both manually and in an automated data‐logged way. These include data from environmental, geotechnical and structural monitoring and data streams from machines.

The GIS capabilities of MissionOS are used to effectively store layers of geospatial data such as topography, land-use, ground-hazard and settlement sensitivity, rainfall etc. All these can be used as a part of the analytics process.

Construction objects are the objects to be built either as temporary or permanent works. These are often identified within the project BIM (Building Information Modelling) and are supplemented with records of completion progress and metadata.

Time And Costs

In addition to simple progress records users can define activity recording schemes build around delays codes. These activity schemes can be applied to the Master or Parent activities and can track the activities behind the production of each sub-job element.

Various shift management options are available from simple manual reports to zones based and fully automated production monitoring linked to multiple machines.

Metadata Records

Each time entry can be linked to progress of a job and can also be linked to a set of data records.

For instance, concreting can be linked to a series of records relating to the concreting process from batch requests to delivery notes to QA/QC test results and inspections.

Each data model can be adapted to your own requirements including the standardisation of nomenclature and this is the key to the success of any future analytics.

The data models are used to generate reports as required by contract specifications and these can be fully automated to save time and resources.

Before "Big Data" can be analysed and compared it must be summarised into statistics which facilitate analysis. These must have a common basis for comparison.

Defining summarising methods to ensure optimum correlation opportunity. Within MissionOS, users can define cycles which have some relevance

to construction. For a building, these might be concrete pours, for a tunnel blasts, rings, PEG rounds etc. Ultimately the various data collected within

MissionOS summarised into statistics based on each of these cycles. Similar cycle types from job to job can then be effectively compared.
