TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION SOFTWARE FOR OWNERS AND CONTRACTORS
Optimize tunnel construction with generative construction technology
Tunneling owners and contractors use ALICE to create an optimal construction sequence and resource allocation plan to maximize productivity for timely and cost-effective project delivery.
Explore tunneling strategies before you break ground
Compare excavation methods, Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) launch sequences, and shaft and portal options to create the detailed schedules you need to pursue and win profitable bids.
Cut your tunnel delivery time with AI
Optioneer strategies in ALICE to learn the cost and time impact of scenarios, plan ahead for segment lining and equipment lead times, and optimize the critical path.
Reduce ground risk and protect margins
Optimize crews, TBMs, and spoil removal across every heading, while generating recovery schedules when unexpected ground conditions or equipment downtime cause delays.
Some threats to a tunnel schedule are visible from day one: long-lead TBM procurement and segment lining supply, fixed possession windows and permit dates, sequential excavation and fit-out, and crews competing for limited shaft and portal access. ALICE lets you model these and test recovery options before they hit.

Some risks never show up in your status report. Preferential logic like drive direction, untested excavation sequences, hidden risks on the near-critical path, and conflicts between headings add time. ALICE AI surfaces and solves them early.

Traditional scheduling gives you one plan. With ALICE, you can rapidly explore feasibly alternatives, each with its own time, cost, and resource profile.
