During the construction of the Bedok South MRT station in Singapore, the Ackcio Beam system was vital in monitoring strain gauges affixed to a thrust frame that was bearing a tunnel boring machine (TBM).

The load imposed on the thrust frame by the TBM was monitored in real-time to ensure that the TBM drilled through the earth without affecting the integrity of the thrust frame.

The Ackcio Beam system was the right fit for the complex environment as the tunnelling work was conducted ~20m below ground. At this depth cabling or manual reading of the strain gauges is far too expensive and complicated. The TBM drilling work was completed safely with the help of the Ackcio Beam system, with project stakeholders using the Ackcio Cloud to monitor progress and have reliable project status updates at their fingertips 24/7.
