LASER SCANNING
LASER SCANNING APPLICATIONS
Laser scanning is an incredibly versatile, cross industry technology that continues to grow rapidly in its applications. AMG has used scanning to solve engineering challenges in numerous applications, including fossil and nuclear power plants, industrial factory units, residential property and even sporting facilities.
When applied to power plants in advance of a time critical outage, the benefits can be phenomenal. Engineering departments utilise the data to design a right first-time solution. Outage managers optimise programmes to manage complex handling operations and work parties. For areas where complex scaffolding is required, the scans enable a bespoke solution to be designed in advance, ensuring platforms are at the correct elevation and give adequate access to necessary components, guaranteeing minimum rework and maximum efficiency. The scans can also be viewed by employees unfamiliar with the specific layout or work area, improving quality, health and safety and reducing the time to become familiar with the working area. This has major time benefits, particularly in the nuclear environment.
Laser scanning can be used for both large scale scans of entire turbine halls, or smaller scans of components / localised areas, such as condensers, equipment rooms etc… For retrofits, scans are processed offsite during the design phase, enabling development of accurate interface models, supporting a final fit first time approach.
In an architectural environment, highly detailed scans capture building facades and internal spaces, enabling 3D models and 2D plans used in planning and construction phases.
AMG uses the latest in technology to provide scans, models or drawings in any format required by the customer. Contact us today to discuss your requirements.
