Company
Jackcontrol AG, headquartered in Glarus (Switzerland), has been developing specialised optimisation and quality assurance systems for trenchless construction methods since 2004. The company specialises in microtunnelling and underground pipe pushing. Over 200 km of tunnels have already been realised worldwide with its solutions.
According to the patent and ASCE information, the hydraulic joint system created as part of the ETH spin-off development enables higher tunnelling performance with curves and real-time monitoring .

Goal
Jackcontrol strives to make trenchless tunnelling processes more efficient, safer, and more transparent - through intelligent hardware components (e.g., hydraulic joints, sensors) and advanced software for real-time monitoring on the construction site.

Implementation
Hardware & basic system
Development of the Microtunnelling Support System (MSS): a modular platform for collecting, managing, and analysing data from TBMs, surveying, pipe monitoring, lubrication, etc. - fully BIM-capable .
Patented Hydraulic Joint technology: more resilient in curves, real seal, sensor-based monitoring, reversible mechanical properties.
Software cloud cooperation
Order to mühlemann+popp AG: Expansion of the monitoring application into the cloud, supplemented by 3D construction site visualisation and location-independent monitoring. Technologies used: Vue.js (frontend), Python, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL (OLTP), Clickhouse (analytics)
Integration & synergy
Connection of MSS hardware and cloud frontend enables real-time monitoring via 3D models, regardless of location Cooperation with VMT GmbH (surveying) - integration of TBM navigation (TUnIS) and data management in MSS

Result
Through the collaboration with m+p, Jackcontrol was able to advance its core technologies and scale internationally significantly.
Increased efficiency on-site: With cloud-based monitoring and 3D visualization, site managers and engineers have real-time access to project data from anywhere. This reduces downtime and increases transparency across the entire tunneling process.
Enhanced safety and quality: The integration of sensor technology, the Hydraulic Joint, and the MSS platform enables more precise control of microtunneling projects. Risks are identified early, while rework and damage are substantially reduced.
Scalability and competitive edge: The cloud application allows Jackcontrol to manage multiple projects worldwide in parallel and to establish new data-driven business models – from remote support to predictive services.
Market validation: With over 200 km of tunnels realized using its solutions, Jackcontrol has proven the reliability of its technology and strengthened its position as an innovation leader in trenchless tunneling.
