iSURe®

a Revolution in precisionTunneling project management software

Easy to use

a revolution in accuracy offers a competitive edge iSURE® is a new, revolutionary tunneling project management and information analysis tool. It helps optimizing the drilling and blasting patterns. The project costs will remain low, and smooth proceeding of the tunneling work is guaranteed as the iSURE gives specifi c guidance for different stages of drilling and blasting process.

STaRTing in The endOnly seamless interaction of drilled pattern, charged explosives and detonator delays can provideoptimum excavation results in terms of round bottom and profi le control, drilled meters, powder factor, pull-out rate, vibration control, tunnel advance and costs. Therefore, an overall approach for the tunneling project is an absolute necessity when excavation quality is on focus.

The iSURE is an integrated solution that combines tunnel line, theoretical profi le design, drill plan design and data collection analysis. The power and undenied strength of the tool is that, contrary to the traditional approach, the pattern is designed in the end of the round where successful blasting is at its most critical. This provides hole burden calculusand optimization of hole location, thus ensuring optimized blasting and supplying better pull-out, decreased need for scaling, increased rock loadability

and smoother collaring in the following round.

a pRoJecT TRee FoR daTa managemenT The iSURE offers a project tree for combining all tunnel plans in one project – one project can thus include either one tunnel plan or several different plans. A tunnel plan, in turn, combines a curve table, tunnel profi les, drill plans, lasers and data

collection fi les, all of which you also can control separately. The program also supplies two-by-two views for project, tunnel line, drill and blast design and reporting.

The iSURE uses explosive power and specifi c charging requirement of the different parts of the tunnel cross section, weight and power of explosive charges in holes as well as the depth of fracture zones as the

basis for the drilling and blasting pattern design. Additionally, the fracture zone can be visualised during the preparation of the pattern.

One of the key points in the iSURE development was to create a tool that allows quick and easy editing of the designed plans. The iSURE thus offersa paramenter-based drill and blast plan design. You can import information from the previous plans into the program and utilize them in the design. This translatesinto savings in time and effi ciency as you do not need to plan every single cut separately, for example.

design in the end of the round. This approach provides hole location optimization according to hole burden calculus.

The design of the theoretical profile can be done either manually by using the drawing elements in the program, or choosing one of the standard profiles provided in the iSURE. It is also possible to import a profile in .dxf format from the AutoCad.

As part of the drill plan design, the Tunnel module also includes detonator design into which you can incorporate surface delay design. This way the amount of vibrations can be re-duced to the minimum – a great benefit in urban areas. It also significantly speeds up the design work and decreases the number of errors. Youwill be able to supply the charger with blasting plans and detonator timings as well as the amounts of explosives and the numbers of detonators needed.

In the drill pattern, the iSURE offers a possibility to define a range of different hole types such as contour holes, field holes, grouting holes, etc. They will use their specific pre-set parameters in the rig: less power is used for high accuracy in contour holes whereas more power is used in field holes, for example. This translates into optimal accuracy of the drilling and blasting result at a minimum round time.

exact information saves your time and moneyRepoRTThe Report module supplies official reports that are legitimate with the authorities. You can receive information on the actual drilling process on four levels: per round, per user (= instance of use), per service (= maintenance interval), and per lifetime. The reports include data on the time used for different phases in the drilling process and rock tools consumption per set intervals.

analySiSiSURE Analysis offers measuring-while-drilling data collection and reporting for analyzing rock structure and characteristics. The module collects data on 13 parameters: Anti-jamming state, drilling control setting, feed pressure, flushing flow, flushing pressure, penetration rate, percussion pressure, rock detect, rotation pressure, rotation speed, stabilator pressure, state of flushing flow, and waterpump pressure. The MWD data can be studied after drilling.

As a separate option, an On-line MWD is available. It offers MWD and round shape in real time in 3D. It is connected to the jumbo either via Ethernet or WLAN.

BolTingiSURE Bolting makes use of one machine possible in both, drilling and bolting. The Sandvik DTi jumbo allows you to utilize the drill and bolt plans at the same time, with one navigation of the

machine when appropriate.Another great benefit of iSURE Bolting lies in the tool’s ability to supply reports on the planned and the actual bolt locations, in other words, reporting is possible in both, the drill plan and project coordinate systems. This promotes systematic bolting and reporting of actual bolt hole locations.Additionally, the iSURE Analysis offers a possibility to draw a profile based on the actual bolt locations.

The Bolting module allows design of up to 5 bolting fans in the same plan. The plan includes hole placement and direction, hole generating and fan management tools, and 3D visualization.

daTa exchange Tunnel line, navigation set up, the drill and bolt plans, and data collection files are transferred to and from the jumbo with a USB drive. To speed up the process, a remote access via the WLAN network is available.

The remote access also offers monitoring features: You can see the jumbo display in your screen at the office. This allows drilling work progression follow up as well as locating any possible deviations.
