How IoT Sensors Are Preventing Tunnel Boring Machine Disasters
Episode 77 of Internet of Things with Fexingo dives into one of the most dangerous and expensive failures in infrastructure: tunnel boring machine (TBM) disasters. Lucas and Luna explore how a network of vibration, temperature, and strain sensors on a TBM boring a metro tunnel under Bangkok detected a fault zone seconds before a catastrophic collapse—saving the machine and the crew. We break down the sensor array, the real-time data fusion that gave the control room a 15-second warning, and why this approach is becoming standard for the $5 billion tunnel boring industry. Plus, a candid moment…
