Laser Scanning

Laser scanning technology has enabled designers and engineers to work with real world 3D point clouds to compliment or replace their existing as-builts. The point clouds consist of millions of coordinated points that define the features of the object space with near photographic quality. This enables more efficient workflows and less time exposed to the hazards of the plant.

Laser scanning is a quick, non-contact method of survey that produces high- specification data, useful to many of the operations carried out in the Process Industry.

Laser scanning has already proved its value to many users by providing them with fast, accurate dimensional information about their plant. This in turn has enabled better design; survey site days have been drastically reduced and vital shut-down times shortened.
