Traditionally,
information would be gathered with manual measurements and
reference to original design and construction drawings. This
work is time consuming and prone to error. Terrestrial laser
scanning can eliminate these problems.
Each laser scan takes between 5 and 15 minutes, data capture
is therefore very fast and accurate to millimeters. Traditional
surveying is based on discrete data point observation, terrestrial
laser scanning captures the complete asset. Thus, there is
a significant improvement in the level of detail and accuracy
of the raw data plus a more extensive range of possibilities
for data analysis and use. The need for return to site visits
are also reduced.
Terrestrial
laser scanning surveys enable engineers to decide on the best
placement for new and existing equipment. Rapid data acquisition
means less time on site and will reduce project design times.
High quality panoramic images are also taken on site and can
aid in the design process.
Measurement
of components such as storage tanks, terminals and other complex
plant for analysis: Out-of-Roundness
Survey, Verticality, Tank Floor Profile, Tank Side Edge Settlement
Survey. 3D modelling of components that may need replacing
ensures that components are fabricated to fit, reverse engineering.
