What is 3D Mapping?
3D Laser Scanning (3D Mapping) is the non-intrusive process by which a laser scanner is used to capture data of a site at multiple locations. This data is then used to produce a point cloud data set of the entire scan site. This state-of-the-art method gives extremely accurate data with a tolerance of just 2mm. This data is then used in various scenarios to provide, time and cost savings, to process plant.
Applications of 3D Scanning
- Provide highly accurate 2D and 3D Drawings
- Provide 3D ‘walk throughs’
- Comply with plant safety and legal requirements with mapping of Plant Assets for Emergency Services & Maintenance Teams
- Architectural & Asset Documentation
- Virtual design for proposed plant upgrades, extensions and refits
Benefits of 3D Scanning
- Highly Accurate (within 2mm)
- Fast surveys save time on site
- Confined, hazardous or inaccessible areas surveyed
- Scans can be taken day or night to suit your plant schedule
- Digitize your plant to log plant assets and positions for permanent reference
- Digital planning lowers the risk of design error for proposed changes to site structures and pipework
- Data can be shared easily between all personnel with the required software
- Physical visualization of proposed changes to plants
