Precision at Sea: Harnessing Laser Scanning for Shipyard Advancements

Image
  Introduction In recent years, laser scanning technology has emerged as a game-changer in various industries, and the shipyard sector is no exception. With its unparalleled precision and efficiency,  laser scanning  has revolutionized shipyard operations, making them more streamlined, accurate, and cost-effective. In this blog post, we will explore the numerous benefits and use cases of laser scanning in shipyards, highlighting how this technology has transformed the industry. ‍ Laser Scanning Use Cases 1. Accurate 3D Documentation One of the key advantages of laser scanning in shipyards is its ability to provide highly accurate and detailed 3D documentation of ships, structures, and equipment. Laser scanners capture millions of data points, creating a  digital replica  of the scanned object or area. This precise representation facilitates effective planning, design, and analysis throughout the shipyard lifecycle. Accurate 3D Documentation ‍ 2. Enhanced Shipyar...

Bringing an Old Glass Factory Back to Life: As-Built BIM with Laser Scanning

Problem Statement from the client : The client, a multinational pharmaceutical company involved in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, pharmaceutical substances, and intermediates, is planning to convert one of their oldest properties in Bengaluru, a non-operational glass  factory  for decades, into a convention center and other commercial blocks. However, the lack of accurate as-built information posed a significant obstacle to the client's design and execution planning. Without a comprehensive understanding of the existing  infrastructure , the client encountered unexpected design challenges, including structural limitations, hidden utility lines, and others. This resulted in numerous design modifications, reworks, and increased expenses. Additionally,  accurate   quantification  of the building's existing assets, such as steel structure quantity and mechanical and electrical equipment, was unavailable. This information is crucial for future procu...
