Offshore Platform Scan

Overseas Project

Scope

This project utilised both Rapid Laser Scanning and Digital Photogrammetry from the same location, giving the design engineers a unique opportunity to view the plant using high resolution colour images and clash detect without the need for an expensive model. The purpose of the project was to produce a full As-Built visual database so that the client could use their own software and design engineers to produce a 3D model.

Benefits

The Laser Scan Data allowed the client ready access to the Laser Cloud for model free clash checking to an accuracy of +/- 6 mm and highly accurate Digital images for tie-in data in the order of +/- 1 mm. These two methods used significantly saved costs and time allowing the entire survey to be done with the minimum offshore mobilisation. The small survey crew were able to work around the platform personnel allowing the survey to be completed without any disruption to operations.
