Business Requirement
The client required comprehensive as-built documentation to support planned building modifications and equipment relocation within their dairy processing facility. They needed to relocate their DSI (Dairy Separation and Isolation) unit to a new location while ensuring structural integrity and stability remained intact. Accurate structural assessment and detailed as-built drawings were essential to validate building capacity for modifications and confirm feasibility of the equipment movement.
Proposed Solution
We executed high-resolution 3D laser scanning of the dairy plant facility using FARO Focus technology to capture precise structural and equipment data. The comprehensive point cloud data was processed through FARO SCENE to generate detailed as-built 3D models and technical drawings for structural analysis. These deliverables provided engineers with accurate baseline information to assess structural stability, plan equipment relocation, and design building modifications with confidence.
Challenges Faced
Continuous high noise levels from active dairy processing equipment significantly impacted data collection operations and required specialized hearing protection and communication protocols. Elevated ambient temperatures within the processing facility created challenging working conditions for scanning personnel and equipment performance optimization. Uneven and sloping floor surfaces throughout the facility required careful scanner positioning and additional reference points to maintain accuracy during data capture.
Outcome
Accurate as-built 3D models and structural documentation enabling safe equipment relocation and informed decision-making for facility modifications.
