  • TOPCON and APLITOP sign a liaison for the tunneling market

    TOPCON and APLITOP sign a liaison for the tunneling market

    Málaga (Spain), 27 May 2021

    The intention of this liaison is the collaboration of Aplitop with Topcon’s distribution network to identify suitable projects and promote the use of Topcon GTL-1000 into them.

    Based on TOPCON technology in robotic total stations and terrestrial scanners, APLITOP has developed TcpTUNNEL Scan, an application for the control of tunnel works in real time for these TOPCON scanning robotic total stations.

     The unique features of this solution allow to have accurate information on the current state of construction in the tunnel itself, without the need for post-processing in the office and facilitating decision-making, avoiding the work stoppage of expensive machinery and personnel.

    Topcon Positioning Group, always one step ahead in technology and customer benefits, is an industry leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of precision measurement and workflow solutions for the global construction, geospatial and agriculture markets.

    Aplitop  is a company specialized in the development of applications for Topography and Civil Engineering, since 2004. Aplitop main clients are public administrations, construction companies, engineering studies, urban planning, quarry operations and Aplitop products are implanted in more than 86 countries.

  • New real-time control tunneling software

    New real-time control tunneling software

    APLITOP has developed TcpTUNNEL Scan, an application for the control of tunnel works in real time for the TOPCON scanning robotic total station.

    The software commands the scanning of the tunnel dome or face and show the point cloud in a powerful 3D viewer. High definition tunnel cross-sections are calculated, and they can be compared to the tunnel design, showing the underbreak and overbreak areas. Selecting any point of the profile on the screen, the laser pointer marks the position in the tunnel and vice versa.

    TcpTUNNEL Scan makes easier the stake out of the tunnel front, for example the drill hole points for the next blasting excavation sequence, points on the template, rock bolts, road surface and more.

    These unique features allow to have accurate information on the current state of construction in the tunnel itself, without the need for post-processing in the office and facilitating decision-making, avoiding the work stoppage of expensive machinery and personnel.
