[0081] Finally, the arithmetic mean of the first and second engineering coordinates of the centroid of the pipe segment is taken as the centroid coordinates of the pipe segment.

[0082] The specific process for calculating the coordinates of the connection point between adjacent pipe sections in the engineering coordinate system is as follows:

[0114]

[0115] Example 1

[0116] In this embodiment, the GNSS system adopts the GPS system, and the inertial navigation system adopts the tilt measurement sensor system, which is used to describe the floating process of the immersed tube.

[0117] The GPS system uses RTK positioning mode for the pipe section's horizontal positioning and GPS-fitted elevation for the vertical positioning. To accurately transfer the horizontal coordinates and elevation from the GPS antenna center to each control point on the pipe section, calibration of the installation points is necessary. To ensure a calibration accuracy of no less than 5mm, a high-precision total station is used to calibrate the three-dimensional coordinates of the installation points and structural feature points (mainly the corner points at the ends) of the pipe section in the same coordinate system before the pipe section is pushed into the water.

[0118] Control points are arranged in three rows along the axis of the pipe section, with three points in each row. The three control points at the center are steel markers with forced centering marks, while the remaining control points are fixed to the top of the pipe using standard prism rod mounting bases, all secured by spot welding around the perimeter. The control points are used not only as GPS stations during the pipe section's floating process but also for calibrating the GPS installation points on the survey tower during the sinking process.

[0119] The water level gauges are installed on both sides of the pipe section, with a total of 4 installation points. The pre-installation positions are determined during the joint design and construction phase, and the pre-installation components are installed and the three-dimensional coordinates of the points are measured before the pipe section is prefabricated and pushed into the water.

[0120] Before floating, the GPS system is calibrated on the surveying tower and compared with the actual values. The horizontal discrepancy should be ≤3cm, and the elevation discrepancy should be ≤6cm. The tilt measurement sensor system is checked on a horizontal plate. The GPS system is checked in the dry dock and compared with the depth measurement using a steel tape. The depth measurement discrepancy should be ≤1cm. After calibration, the status of the measurement system, communication system, network database system, software system, and integrated system are debugged and checked as required.

[0121] Then, technical, safety, and civilized construction briefings are conducted.

[0122] Before the floating installation vessel anchors, inspections are conducted, and the measurement, communication, database, and software systems are operational. At this point, the real-time status of the tunnel section's 3D model is displayed on the screen. Figure 3 As shown, before the installation vessel weighs anchor, the staff checks whether each system is functioning properly. Key checks include: the current number of valid satellites, the number of valid satellites in the survey area within the next 12 hours according to the ephemeris, GPS station coordinates; the logical consistency between the 3D model of the tunnel section and the surrounding terrain; the logical rationality of the tunnel section coordinates; the logical consistency between the tunnel section model and the warning line; the logical rationality of the tunnel section attitude; the transmission rate and stability of the communication system; the normality of the input and output of the database system; the effectiveness and stability of the software-controlled measurement system; and the immediacy, smoothness, and stability of the software in receiving data, processing, modeling, and displaying results.

[0123] The measurement team monitors and predicts the number of satellites and the stability of the signals, and prepares for emergency recovery in case of failure. The person in charge analyzes and judges whether the position and attitude of the pipe section are within the safe range based on the monitoring results, and responds to the problems and potential problems to ensure the smooth progress of the monitoring work.

[0124] The pipe section was floated to the designated location, and the floating and monitoring work was completed after the installation vessel anchored and stabilized.

[0125] Example 2

[0126] This embodiment describes the process of laying the pipe section. The horizontal positioning, elevation measurement equipment and installation point positioning of the pipe section in this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 1, so they will not be repeated here.

[0127] In this embodiment, GNSS RTK technology is used to measure and convert the angle of the pipe section to the engineering coordinate system in real time. An attitude sensor is used to collect the tilt angle of the pipe section in real time, and a three-dimensional model is built based on the observation data. Finally, the coordinates of the docking point in the engineering coordinate system are calculated as the basis for pipe section docking. Specifically:

[0128] like Figure 4 As shown, the nominal dimensions of the pipe section are [L,D,h], and the engineering coordinate system is (X... s ,Ys Z s ), taking the centroid of the pipe segment as the origin, establish the pipe segment coordinate system (X). c ,Y c Z c The origin of the pipe section coordinate system corresponds to the engineering coordinate value (X). co ,Y co Z co Let the height of GPS-1 from the top surface of the pipe section be H1, corresponding to the engineering coordinates P1(X). s1 ,Y s1 Z s1 The corresponding pipe segment coordinates are P1(X). c1 ,Y c1 Z c1 ), that is, P1(X c1 ,Y c1 Let H2 be the height of GPS-2 from the top surface of the pipe section, and its corresponding engineering coordinate be P2(X). s2 ,Y s2 Z s2 The corresponding pipe segment coordinates are P2(X). c2 ,Y c2 Z c2 That is, P2(X) c2 ,Y c2 The rotation angles obtained by the inertial navigation system based on the X, Y, and Z axes of the coordinate system are (α, β, θ). According to the coordinate transformation relationship:
