As Built Data can assist with your plant relocation project using 3D Laser Scanning to accurately document both the physical plant layout and individual assets.
Using point cloud data scanned at the plant, As Built Data can generate a 3D CAD model showing equipment and piping arrangements as well as all major steel work items.
From the basis of the 3D CAD model, we can generate elevations, sections, plans and as built isometrics, which can be used during the plant re-construction at it's new location.
In addition, the 3D CAD model enables better de-construction planning and faster de-construction and re-construction times. More accurate estimates of asset quantities should also help reduce or eliminate conflict between contractors and client as you will know exactly what assets are to be shipped and their volumes.
When it comes to re-assembling the plant in it's new location, the client's Engineers will be able to access the 3D CAD model to produce new general arrangements and layouts of major equipment items. From these, they can accurately fabricate any new piping to ensure first time fit or alternatively, existing piping can be re-assembled in the correct order.
- Faster project turnarounds
- Greater control over planning and estimating
- Accurately track major plant assets and work out their physical sizes and volumes
- Upon purchase, the client will have a full set of drawings and a 3D CAD Model for asset visualisation and re-construction
- A full set of accurate drawings or a 3D CAD model can be a valuable selling point when disposing of an existing plant
