The construction industry still requires significant advancements in digitalisation, particularly tunnel construction presents numerous challenges. Using digital twins can help. However, the current implementation is challenged by the lack of specific concepts. As data serves as the initial step towards digitalisation, implementing data management is essential. This will be demonstrated using a digital twin. The status quo of digital twins in tunnel construction will be presented. Initially, a distinction between digital models, shadows, and twins will be made. A literature review will illustrate the current status and application of digital twins in tunnel construction. Through systematic research, all software solutions will be identified and analysed. Finally, the current state of usage and the application areas of digital twins in tunnel con struction will be presented. Also highlighting existing gaps and areas requiring further action. An outlook will indicate the necessary future developments in this field and the potential digital twins hold.     «
