OpenTunnel provides a comprehensive solution for tunnel design and analysis, allowing engineers to develop highly detailed models of linings, excavation shapes, and tunnel components. Built on Bentley’s advanced modeling technology, OpenTunnel combines geometric modeling with structural verification to support every phase of tunnel development.
The software enables designers to create accurate tunnel alignments, manage complex reinforcement layouts, and integrate tunnel infrastructure with surrounding subsurface assets. By connecting design data with analytical engines, OpenTunnel improves visibility across project stakeholders and supports better decision-making throughout the tunnel lifecycle. Using OpenTunnel, teams can work more efficiently while ensuring compliance with international tunneling standards and rigorous project requirements.
OpenTunnel supports a wide range of underground infrastructure projects across both transportation and utility networks. Key applications include:
Road and rail tunnel design and alignment planning
3D modeling of complex tunnel geometries and cross-sections
Analysis of segmental and cast-in-place tunnel linings
Integration of tunnel structures with geotechnical strata
Planning of excavation sequences and support systems
Coordination of tunnel systems with roadway and rail corridors
Digital twin workflows for underground asset management
Structural verification of tunnel reinforcement and components
These capabilities allow engineers and planners to design tunnel systems that are more resilient, cost-effective, and technically precise.
