tunneling acronym CAV

CAV in tunneling stands for "Cutter and Analyzer of Voids." It refers to a system used in tunnel construction that employs sensors and data analysis to detect and monitor voids, gaps, or irregularities in the soil and rock around the tunnel. This technology helps engineers assess the stability of the tunnel environment in real-time, ensuring safe and efficient excavation by identifying potential hazards early. In essence, CAV combines measurement and analytical tools to improve tunnel safety and construction quality by providing detailed insights into the underground conditions.
