Your Data to Go

Monitoring your data should be easy. With our mobile app, you have all information at yout fingertips.

Tunnelling is complex. Managing its data shouldn’t be.

TPC was built by tunnel engineers who experienced firsthand the chaos of scattered information, endless reporting, and hidden inefficiencies.

We have built a solution that keeps every aspect of tunnelling under control—automating documentation, monitoring machine performance, and ensuring full project transparency. It’s not just a tool—it’s the backbone of data-driven tunnelling, turning raw numbers into real insights and freeing your team from unnecessary manual work.
