Industry
The first laser scanner systems were developed in the United States in the mid 90's
to meet industrial needs. As-built information is particularly difficult to model in industrial installations; which is why
the system has evolved towards computer applications including libraries with typical objects and their characteristics
(external and internal diameter, insulation, materials, DIN norms, etc.).
The plain result of these measures are point clouds X,Y, Z from which we can carry out interference study between as built and the project, or generate 3D models in the usual CAO/DAO formats.
For projects:
- revamping and debottlenecking,
- updates of as-built plans,
- with short delays and where availability of the unit is limited,
- implementation of new security and environmental standards.
Benefits of the method:
- Measures are taken safely without any contact with the object,
- As built 3D models are integrated to the design department's project,
- Inspections and measures of deformations,
- 3D products or plan implementations,
- Intervention times very reduced,
- Interference study between the existing and the project,
- Projects of new work on offshore installations.
