Kronos at Thessaloniki Metro<br />
Project introduction<br />
The currently built Thessaloniki metro<br />
network (see Fig. 5) comprises 13 modern<br />
plat<strong>for</strong>m stations <strong>and</strong> 9.5 km of track (with<br />
two independent single track tunnels)<br />
constructed mostly (7.7 km) by means of<br />
two tunnel boring machines. The<br />
remaining section of the line is constructed<br />
by the cut <strong>and</strong> cover method.<br />
Kronos application<br />
For the Thessaloniki project Kronos takes<br />
over responsibility <strong>for</strong> monitoring, data<br />
management <strong>and</strong> emergency alarms, but<br />
also per<strong>for</strong>ms additional tasks such as the<br />
on-line transfer <strong>and</strong> display of data from<br />
tunnel boring machines <strong>and</strong> automatic<br />
measurement systems, geological<br />
documentation, <strong>and</strong> document<br />
management <strong>and</strong> automatic reporting. Onsite,<br />
more than 30 different users (experts<br />
from the client <strong>and</strong> contractor) are<br />
connected to the system <strong>and</strong> receive all<br />
necessary project data, <strong>and</strong> if desired even<br />
automatically generated <strong>and</strong> periodically<br />
sent reports. To guarantee the safety of the<br />
overlaying <strong>and</strong> adjacent buildings <strong>and</strong><br />
structures <strong>and</strong> to verify the assumptions<br />
made during the project planning, a huge<br />
geotechnical monitoring program is<br />
executed.<br />
