Cyan colour comments bubble
to your left!
Note: Petra Beta version is in No-Dig mode (trenchless)and expects your query limits to fall within pipe/tunnel diameters 100mm-1400mm and max. single drive lengths to 200m.
Wish to chat with Petra with your borehole logs factored in?
Rushing into a client meeting/phonecall with no mental map of your strata at tunnel depth? Get sorted in 5 minutes!
Upload a pdf of your borelogs before chatting to Petra. Just the borelog tables please! Like this:
Please extract and upload a pdf of just the borehole log pages:
Instructions: After upload, you will receive an Analysis ID in less than 60 seconds!
Note down and provide this ID (10 digit number) to Beta Bot Petra as soon as you click on the bot bubble and start the chat. Thereafter proceed to have a conversational chat about technical solutions that automatically factor in your project strata. You will have the option to have a copy of the summary that Petra will generate, before you dive in to chat!

Petra is a trenchless and TBM technology selection bot for your applications engineering needs. Petra is designed to be a standalone bot service available to you 24/7 when you need a sound-board specific to your tunnel construction project boundary conditions.
Petra will straightaway get to the task of defining your tunnel and pipe project requirements and use the same to come up with technology recommendations. The Beta version is a test-bot intended to capture initial user feedback on its usability and customer interaction patterns. It is also a tool for the casual user to familiarize themselves on technologies that go into urban and peri-urban infra projects.
Petra’s focus is on the tunneling and construction industry, offering machine (trenchless and TBM) solutions that cater to various types of tunneling projects. It’s goal is to support businesses in navigating complex decision making processes and making informed machine selection decisions that affect cost and efficiency.
Petra is designed to facilitate deep interactions that are additionally AI powered for heavy context based responses. You can always request a summary of your interactions at the end of your chat session.
Your interactions on the free to access beta version of Petra will help fine tune Petra. Additionally, for manufacturers feel free to get in touch for clarifications that would help Petra do a more accurate job of informing users.
Petra is trained on human knowledge sources (no copyrighted content) and experience and is augmented by LLM’s that are optimised to respond as carefully as possible. However, the objective here is to get you started on the right foot on your project and help you figure how to approach a solution by providing a host of technology options with suitable caveats where applicable. There will likely be situations where despite best efforts, Petra produces errors in responses or confuses concepts. However, in the future this could look better with user inputs and further optimization. Irrespective, the hope is Petra would leave the user more informed than when they started out.
No. Petra is trained on the fruits of industry experience and information from research derived from public available sources.
Sure. The idea is to improve the quality of the outputted recommendations in an unbiased manner to make it accessible widely. Please do get in touch.
You can query Petra Beta version in any language, however as of now the responses will be in English.
You will be glad to hear that Open AI platform that owns Chat GPT LLM and which we will be using for scanning your geological borehole logs via Open AI’s API access, does not train on your documents. See Open AI’s privacy note.

hi,
great start and having very good potential, points to improve
1. Very question and answer type , needs to understand the objective of the user for that query before asking too many questions.
2.make a report of what is needed , like steps to take up or design etc.
3. looks textbook in some instances , needs more practical application data
4.needs to help incase of outbound of conditions said
5. better to have image based query as well.
thank you for your invaluable feedback! this will greatly help fine tune Petra and define user requirements better. Some responses on your message:
Once again! thank you for taking out the time. Would be great if you could give it another try and comment on a tweaked user experience!!

I tried with random data and its show very insightful suggestions. Very informative. You can as for face pressure calculation, friction force during jacking relationship between thrust force, torque and CH rpm with tbm penetration rate. The response received was good and correct. Very useful, can plan your next micro tunneling pipe jacking drive using Petra Chatbot by using analytical approach.
Thank you very much Amit for taking out the time chatting with Petra! The use of technology to pivot greater learning outcomes and usable technical and technological insights for projects, is one of the goals of Petra Bot apart from being a recommendation tool pointing in the direction of an appropriate method to adopt. Thank you for testing it and as Petra continues to develop, please keep checking back and querying Petra on interesting topics!

can does list the benefits of using SFRC for Precast Tunnel lining segments and its relevant design code in practice
Hey, thanks for the question. Yes, Petra is configured to respond. See Petra in action for your query, uploaded on Petra’s Youtube handle: @Petrathebot
Just go to youtube and type Petrathebot
Would be great if you could have a conversational chat with Petra and leave your feedback on this page! If you want a copy of Petra’s responses to your query, just drop a request on email id: petrathebot at adducense dot com.
