NOVA – A Natural-Language AI for Geotechnical Monitoring

When data reaches billions of records, finding the right information becomes a challenge in itself.

3bn

Nearly 3 billion instrumentation records collected over five years across HS2's London and Birmingham sections.

40M

MissionOS ingests approximately 40 million records every month.

This information is critical to project assurance, helping teams monitor conditions, manage risks and support construction decisions.

MissionOS brings together monitoring data through its GIS and Digital Twin capabilities, helping teams analyse information, present findings and manage alarms.

// The Challenge

How do you turn vast amounts of data into actionable insights?

The scale of modern monitoring data presents a growing challenge: making the information users need readily accessible without introducing additional complexity.

Meet NOVA

NOVA provides a natural-language interface for interacting with instrumentation data.

Rather than relying solely on dashboards, filters, and predefined views, users can query their data using everyday language, making information easier to access.

NOVA is designed to work with dynamic data schemas, enabling it to interact with different project data structures without requiring a fixed, one-size-fits-all approach.

“NOVA opens a new way to access monitoring data - making it easier to ask questions, find information and explore complex data sets.”

Improving Systems of Record for Geotechnical Works

Better data starts with better records.

Geotechnical projects generate vast amounts of information throughout their lifecycle - from design predictions and construction records to monitoring data and asset handover. However, this information is often fragmented across reports, drawings, spreadsheets, and disconnected workflows, making it difficult to maintain a consistent view of project information and access the data needed for informed decision-making.

What if the construction record was built as the work happened?

Maxwell GeoSystems will present MISSION BUILDER, a GIS and Digital Twin-based construction data modelling environment designed for ground engineering.

Working alongside DESIGNER and MONITOR, BUILDER connects design intent with construction activity and creates a structured record of the work as it progresses.

MISSION BUILDER MISSION INSPECTOR on MissionOS
Design.
Capture.
Connect.
Understand.
A structured digital record of the work as it happens.
01

Start with the plan

DESIGNER brings design predictions and planned activities into the project data environment.

02

Capture the work

MISSION INSPECTOR communicates information to site and captures records directly from the works.

03

Connect the data

Machine and remote sensing data can be brought directly into BUILDER.

04

Understand performance

Structured records provide a basis for assessing productivity and performance.

// Why it matters

Geotechnical data should not disappear when the work is complete.

A project generates knowledge at every stage. Connecting that knowledge creates a more useful project record.

01 Capture
02 Connect
03 Validate
04 Analyse
05 Reuse

Data can be captured at the point of work, connected across workflows, validated within the data model, analysed as construction progresses and retained as an accessible record beyond the immediate activity.

// The MissionOS Approach

One environment.
From data to insight.

NOVA and MISSION BUILDER address two sides of the same challenge: making growing volumes of geotechnical data more accessible and useful.

NOVA

Interact with monitoring data

A natural-language interface for exploring large-scale instrumentation data and asking questions in a more direct way.

MISSION BUILDER MISSION INSPECTOR

Create a structured construction record

A GIS and Digital Twin-based environment for capturing, connecting and using construction data throughout the project.

// Who should attend

Relevant across the geotechnical project lifecycle.

Owners & Developers

Geotechnical managers, construction managers and project decision-makers.

Consultants & Engineers

Geotechnical consultants, owners’ engineers, and site supervision teams.

Contractors

Geotechnical construction managers and teams responsible for delivering ground engineering works.

Project focus: Tunnelling · Piling · Basements & Retained Excavations · Earthworks · Land Formation
