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 />
