LIDAR Scanning 3d Plant Modelling

3D laser scanning for industrial plants
While 3D laser scanning is used in various fields, the technology is widely used in industrial plants. The ability to accurately map Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MEP) and structural components allow engineers to avoid conflicts that in the past would not have been caught until the construction phase. Utilizing 3D scanning in industrial plants is a drastic improvement from the conventional methods. The accuracy, time savings, and most importantly, safety; make 3D scanning the most complete way to as-built these facilities. Complete documentation and supervision for plant construction projects Laser scanner technology provides complete and accurate as-built documentation, including photorealistic images of the current conditions of plants and structures that are under construction. These updatable records support the clear monitoring of all phases of a construction project and the creation of a common database that ensures improved coordination between all of the parties involved.Precise documentation can be used as a basis for updating designs, projects, drawings, code requirements, and other standards. Engineers and project managers can rapidly survey discrepancies between the actual conditions of the plant under construction and its design. Based on the gathered data, differences can be corrected before moving on to the next phase. It is generally simpler and less costly to re-plan, for example, pipe routes on a computer screen than to cut and weld new reels in the field.3D monitoring thus reduces possible risks and limits cost increases throughout the various project phases. Projects with complex schedules benefit from additional savings as a result of improved sequencing and coordination of construction activities.
