Great importance is attached to ‘pressure-volume records’ for the execution, documentation and billing of rock grouting. In this context, special digital data management systems are now available which can provide data in a structured and consistent format that is also suitable for artificial intelligence (AI) approaches. Using datasets from a tunnel project in Scandinavia, this paper shows that artificial neural networks can be used to reliably predict the evolution of pressure-volume records or the volume of grout injected at the end in the interests of construction site efficiency. Taking into account the technical feasibility of using AI to support tunnel grouting, we then show which contractual modifications would be required in order to make effective use of corresponding developments.
