Prepare daily/weekly survey reports with trend analysis of alignment deviations and contribute to risk registers or non-conformance reports. Monitor TBM tunneling operations including alignment checks and surface monitoring (settlement/heave). Review traverse calculations, implement tunnel CenterPoint at stations, and check TBM alignment within tolerances. Establish and maintain primary and secondary control networks inside the tunnel, including transfer of surface control points through shafts. Be aware of TBM survey software for ring installation and vertical/horizontal curves. Review TBM guidance data, laser target extension, and alignment inputs within the tunnel until the TBM. Review TBM roll, pitch, and yaw, bored tunnel lips and steps, and report deviations to senior engineers. Participate in breakthrough preparations with precise alignment surveys and coordination with the receiving shaft team. Conduct 3D measurements for tunnel alignment before/after breakthroughs and during TBM break-in and break-out, including annex locations. Perform wriggle surveys and as-built surveys with accurate data collection and documentation. Identify critical zones requiring special rings based on survey information. Review setting-out points for NATM tunnel connections and annex interfaces. Support 3D survey checks for moulds and precast segments during production. Review shop drawings, method statements, and survey-related documents under the direction of the Tunnel Engineer. Provide on-site technical support to ensure quality and safety compliance. Coordinate with surveyors, inspectors, and contractor teams to resolve minor survey-related issues. Maintain daily survey logs, alignment records, and progress documentation. Assist in preparing as-built documentation and verify survey data accuracy. Prepare weekly/monthly progress inputs related to survey and TBM alignment. Verify calibration and maintenance documents for survey equipment (total stations, prisms, targets, TBM-integrated sensors). Collaborate with instrumentation and monitoring to integrate survey data with geotechnical readings for tunnel performance assessment. Ensure all survey activities comply with project specifications, ITA guidelines, and local regulatory requirements. Support emergency response surveys for ground movements or machine stoppages. Follow RTA safety procedures and promote safe tunneling practices.
