Introducing our 3D laser scanning & 2D / 3D CAD service.  

Our laser scanner uses an environmentally “safe” laser to rapidly scan surfaces or objects and record the data as a fully referenced point within a point cloud which can then be processed to enable production of either conventional 2D drawings ( “as built” plans & long sections ) or 3D image model which is highly accurate dimensionally.

These can be used for “as built” information for complex industrial plant and facilities. Other applications also include ground / topographic surveys; road, bridge & building surveys; power stations; complex models for films & theme parks; forensic science & claims records; ships & aircraft; historical & architectural records; basic information for walk through videos as well as much more.

The point cloud is immediately usable as an image that is highly accurate ( +/- 3mm ) and can be compared & merged with digital photography taken at same time.

3D visualisation ….. the future of survey has at last arrived…….

Our clients include oil & gas companies, mining & construction companies as well as contractors involved in retrofit / maintenance for industrial plants, process facilities & oil platforms.

Our clients get a unique 3D model of their facility / plant which can be used for design, construction, fabrication and as built record that because of computer modelling will enable first time fit onsite during construction / maintenance. Large cost savings / profits can be made when carrying out retrofit & maintenance or use of prefabricated units because rework due to poor fit can now be avoided preventing expensive stoppages and production losses if things go wrong.

No more rework ….. first time fit!

This provides “added value” that could potentially save $ millions and generate better client profits or cost savings by preventing / minimising expensive rework, refabrication on site, plant shut downs and production losses.eg. oil platform that loses a few days of production results in many $ millions lost revenue.  

Laser scanning & 3D modelling provides a unique new survey tool………  

Our latest “state-of-the-art” laser scanner is :

•  Highly portable
•  Wide angle of view 360º - suitable for interior & exterior
•  Range : up to 350 m
•  Accuracy < 3 mm at 100 m
•  Fast scanning 100,000's points in < 15 minutes
•  Point cloud & photographic image available immediately

Data can also be processed to produce :

•  Registered image tied to conventional survey datum
•  2D CAD drawing
•  3D CAD model
•  And run clash “interference” software to check new design or that prefabricated
units fit within model prior to onsite installation.

•  For better RETROFIT DESIGNS that slash construction costs and schedules.
•  For remote and difficult access SURVEYING faster, safer and less intrusive
•  For big savings and better project control during CONSTRUCTION
•  For more efficient OPERATIONS and MAINTENANCE  

3 Reasons why…..

1. Exceptionally fast

Normal plant surveys take as little as :

•  < 1 day - < 1 week field work for scan survey
•  < 1 week - < 1 month to process and produce “as built” views and sections of the plant with 2D CAD drawings and 3D models.

2. Our latest state-of-the-art scanner & software technology

•  enables precise fabrication and avoids misfits between plant on
site
•  enables fabrication scan check and re check fitting in computer
before costly site mistakes made
•  first time fits on site avoids reworking
•  minimises construction time or downtime during RETROFIT /
MAINTENANCE work and gets plant production back online faster
•  reduces possible tie-in clashes
•  reduction in rework and therefore costly contingency for this can be avoided
•  improve project planning and implementation using reliable as-
built data.

3. Time and Money Saving

•  Avoids use of contingency sum for poor fit and rework
•  reduces RETROFIT time and hence decreases loss due to
production downtime
•  lowers plant life cycle costs
•  Accurate “as builts” for plant documentation and future
maintenance.

Low cost outsourcing………..  

We also provide an “outsourcing solution” by collaborating with clients and other survey & laser scanning companies who :

•  either wish to keep costs down & profits high on overseas work; or,
•  are overloaded and do not have enough scanners, resources or personnel for a
particular contract; or,
•  wish to utilise our low cost “sweat shop” data processing & modelling bureau in
Indonesia to speed up deliverables or just to keep costs down to make more
profit.

We can provide laser scanners, operators, survey teams and data processing / modelling operators as well as our traditional CAD bureau services.

Low cost means more profit especially if we can provide you with a 24hr round the clock service by our team of operators & CAD technicians.
