Abstract

The invention relates to civil engineering underground equipment comprising at least one work element for ground work, at least two actuation units, at least one measuring device for determining at least one current actuation parameter for each actuation unit, and a controller which is designed for controlling the actuation units, wherein the controller is connected to the measuring devices and, in order to prevent a tipping of the civil engineering underground equipment, is designed to limit a further actuation of the actuation unit or to display to an operator that the limit actuation parameter has been reached and/or the limit actuation parameter, on the basis of previously calculated limit actuation parameters for the actuation units which define exactly one permissible operating range, when a limit actuation parameter of at least one actuation unit is reached. It is intended for at least two different individual operating ranges to be stored in the controller, wherein each individual operating range comprises a different set of limit actuation parameters for the actuation units, and for the controller to be able to determine a combined permissible operating range.
