MORPHEOUS ENGINEERING AND DESIGN

Choosing MORPHEOUS for the design of a project means opting for a cost effective and value engineering system based service. From preliminary studies and assurance to execution and independent reviews, our design departments are involved at every stage of the asset life cycle stages.

MORPHEOUS is a team of experts with hands-on Design and Engineering experience across challenging geologies and international contracts. Our design and engineering system is based on first Principle and assemble the state-of-the-art of the best International Practices for

  • Rock and Soft Ground Tunnels & Caverns
  • Numerical Modelling

Numerical modeling is a fundamental and widely recognized tool for the design and analysis of tunnel excavation (in rock & soil) and support installation. MORPHEOUS has a repertoire of skilled civil engineers, and mining engineers, all of whom possess extensive expertise in addressing a variety of challenges associated with tunnel excavations.

The capability of using advanced analysis techniques such as the Finite Element Method (FEM), Finite Difference Method (FDM), and Discrete Element Method (DEM) to solve challenging opportunities is a key engineering moat of the organization.

Our numerical modelling capability offers a state-of-the-art design and analysis platform to achieve practical solutions in the areas of:

  • Slope stability
  • Stress evaluations for shallow and deep tunnels
  • Support design for tunnels, underground caverns
  • Large underground excavations relevant to both civil and mining engineering

MORPHEOUS understands the nuances of engineering and adopts it seamlessly to conceptualize-analyze-collaborate the outcomes to achieve positive outcomes for the clients. Our solutions adopts rigorous engineering standards and adapt factual ground data in our process driven SOPs.

Our team adopts right amount of automation with minimal downtime in delivering outcomes. Our drive to incorporate clients imagination to align with engineering excellence have produced robust engineering recommendations. Our use of advanced numerical models is based on extensive operational and consulting experience and understanding of analogue situations.

Detailed waterproofing system design and best practice recommendation

Our expertise and experiences bring state -of-the-art waterproofing system requirement and implementation through supervision and critical intervention to ensure that the waterproofing requirement as per the project specification is able to demonstrate the hundred years of design life.

We have contributed and upskilled projects such as Melbourne metro rail project and Sydney metro project.

Waterproofing is a delicate aspect and the system guarantee relies upon integration of multiple components, varying case-by-case.

Please contact us to discuss your tunnelling waterproofing aspect.

Mechanised Tunnels (TBMs)

MORPHEOUS brings on experience of selection and design of TBMs for mix-face and hard-rock geological condition. Our experience and knowledge spans over large diameter TBMs (greater than 6m) to micro TBMs (up to 4.2m diameter).

MORPHEOUS team is highly experienced in the design of TBM segmental linings for both soft ground and rock tunnels. Our engineering capability and design philosophy considers system assurance as the fundamental. We are a rare breed of engineers to know how to do this.

Our team of engineers have significant experience in the design and construction of mechanized and conventional tunnels, using precast concrete linings with conventional or steel fibre reinforcement and cast iron segments.

Our specialist branch of engineering focuses on various claim, anti-claim and mission critical tunnel forensic analysis as well.

A thorough forensic analysis to be successful requires not only data, but to interpret a meaningful logic behind the data. Over the last 2 Decades, we have consistently delivered and have mastered the art. The forensic runs from a stressed cutter head due to an unforeseen dynamic loading to inference based approach based on machine parameters through analysis of interdependence – we are unique.

MICRO-Tunnelling

We provide state-of-the-art engineering service for micro-tunnelling projects encompassing pipe-jacking to pipe-thrusting, as suitable for the project. Our system of engineering encompasses project set-up to project management plans and procedures development through to operations stage which involves complex interfacing and bespoke design attributes.

MORPHEOUS project managed some of the most complex challenging Enabling Works in the Southern Hemisphere (Australia and New Zealand).

Pre-cast segmental lining design and manufacturing

In a high-speed manufacturing environment such as the pre-cast segments using carousal method, there are more than perceivable parameters which governs how the segment will behave in terms of ULS and SLS. MORPHEOUS have experience and the detailed know-how which only improves the system. Going to the very fundamentals about materials behavior with thermos-coupled and time-dependent environment is a crescendo of our technical expertise.

Geotechnical Engineering

Investigation, interpretation and testing

One of the most important aspects to a successful implementation of any tunnel project is obtaining detailed understanding of the geology and the geotechnical characterization associated with the required design. Major delays and claims are caused by geological risks perceived as unforeseen ground conditions and MORPHEOUS can assist projects in mitigating those risks based on our hands on experience.

Instrumentation and Monitoring

Optimisation of monitoring and engineering analysis

Instrumentation and monitoring is one of the main artery of the tunnelling system. MORPHEOUS have demonstrated experience that intelligent and systematically designed I&M plays key role in reducing construction costs. Our knowledge and experience of monitoring systems as an assurance and optimization tool for urban tunnelling is impeccable.

Construction Support

Supervision and constructability services.

The MORPHEOUS team with their technical and contractual expertise is well placed to assist the investors, asset owners and contractors in undertaking the technical diligence through a robust quality assurance system for the assets. One of the key attribute that remains challenging for most is about waterproofing system design. We have developed Technical Specifications and have been influential in bringing amendments to waterproofing contracts.

MORPHEOUS Asset Management and Systems Integration

Bringing together multiple technologies and applications into purpose-built customer solutions.

By combining our expertise in safety, asset reliability and availability with technology, MORPHEOUS produces measurable improvements to our clients’ productivity and profitability. We achieve this by providing effective Operations and Maintenance programs that reduce the long-term cost of asset operation and extend the operational life of key infrastructure assets.

MORPHEOUS has hands-on experience and understanding of surface and underground assets for Transport and Energy. Our engineering system provides an asset management approach that balances performance, costs and risk for the operations.

System integration and management of the integrated assets relies on various sub components – hardware and software. A robust asset management is designed based on a data driven system architecture integrated with the overall core system assurance model. Morpheous brings on international experiences of an integrated asset management approach through strategic advisory. Our approach is based on hands on international experiences demonstrating reliability, availability, maintainability of the system ensuring people’s safety.

Together, let’s venture for that “light at the end of the tunnel”
