Brownfield project execution challenges overcome using Laser Scanning

Introduction

Laser scanning services in Gujarat are a highly accessible tool that allows engineers & designers to design and evaluate brownfield facility projects that address the unique challenges after capturing all the data. Laser scanning devices are essentially non-contact devices. Laser scans produce a “point cloud” that consists of millions of points of data and it’s highly accurate in providing relevant information to the designers and engineers.

We understand that digitizing brownfield facilities is significantly important. Based on the value propositions, now that precise and “As is” data is available instantly, it’s important to leverage the 3d laser scanning services for chemical industry which will be valuable for designers and engineers that are working on engineering, procurement, and construction projects and plant owner. 3D laser scanning services in Gujarat play an important role in brownfield projects.

5 brownfield project execution challenges overcome using laser scanning services in India

  1. 3D Modelling & As-built

Laser scan data provides the designers with precise specifications & information such as the size of the pipe, structural cross-section information, and length of the pipe from the scanned data. Using this information, the engineers & designers can utilize their engineering design application skills to create 3d models. The designers don’t have to model the entire facility again. Laser scan data itself can be used for clash checks with objects and referenced objects. Laser data can be effectively used as a reference for orthographic drawings. As-built data from 3d laser scanning services in India is significant as it avoids hundreds of hours of modelling time.

  • Monitoring Data

A facility can be laser-scanned multiple times over time. Laser scan data can also be used to monitor, vessels, equipment, structures, tanks, hulls, etc. in the facility to analyze defects or deformations. This allows the engineers to take the required corrective actions for the maintenance and operations aspects of the plant.

  • Checking

Data needs to be inspected and verified before the physical assets are moved into the plant or facility. The components in the module are manufactured at the facility and later they are transported to the plant site. Before the modules are shifted, it is crucial to check if the modules fit correctly in their designated places or else it will severely hamper the project schedule and lead to financial loss.

  • Verification

The components or equipment manufactured at the facility are designed using 3d modelling applications. However, laser-scanned equipment and components can be used for verification of the designs. This helps designers quickly address any inconsistencies or deviations in the design.

  • Financial restraints

Laser scanning for chemical industry is a lot more affordable as compared to the traditional surveying, mapping, and scanning methods. Financial and physical limitations of traditional methods prevented the facility owners from doing thorough checks and leveraging better opportunities. Laser scanning services in Gujarat are an affordable & accessible solution to traditional methods.
