Meshing plan for controlling mesh installation

The data structure according to claim 16, further comprising at least one of the following:

• an indication of at least one planned mounting position for the installation of the at least one mesh to the rock surface, wherein the at least one planned mounting position is configured to be indicated with respect to the coordinate frame that is stationary with respect to the rock surface,
• an indication of a thickness of mesh strands and/or a weight of the at least one mesh,
• an indication of a height from a floor of a tunnel, wherein the rock surface is planned to be covered by the at least one mesh above the height from the floor of the tunnel,
• a mesh identifier or a type of the at least one mesh associated with the planned position, or
• a slot identifier of a slot on the rock surface for instalment of the at least one mesh, wherein the slot is associated with the planned position of the at least one mesh and/or one or more requested mesh properties for the slot.

A method, comprising:

• obtaining a digital meshing plan indicative of a planned position of at least one mesh on a rock surface for installation of the at least one mesh to the rock surface by a mesh installation rig and a planned overlapping of the at least one mesh and at least one other mesh, wherein the planned position of the at least one mesh is configured to be indicated with respect to a coordinate frame that is stationary with respect to the rock surface;
• mapping the planned position of the at least one mesh to a coordinate frame of the mesh installation rig;
• and
• controlling installation of the at least one mesh to the rock surface based on the planned position of at least one mesh.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer program instructions which, when executed by an apparatus, cause the apparatus at least to:

• obtain a digital meshing plan indicative of a planned position of at least one mesh on a rock surface for installation of the at least one mesh to the rock surface by a mesh installation rig and a planned overlapping of the at least one mesh and at least one other mesh, wherein the planned position of the at least one mesh is configured to be indicated with respect to a coordinate frame that is stationary with respect to the rock surface;
• map the planned position of the at least one mesh to a coordinate frame of the mesh installation rig;
• and
• control installation of the at least one mesh to the rock surface based on the planned position of at least one mesh.
