Business Requirement
The client required structural documentation to support plant modifications and expansion initiatives. They needed accurate weight analysis and load-bearing assessments for existing beams and columns to determine modification feasibility. Precise structural data was essential for engineering decisions and safe expansion planning.
Proposed Solution
We conducted high-resolution 3D laser scanning of the plant using FARO Focus technology to capture structural elements with precision. The scanned data was processed through FARO SCENE and converted into comprehensive as-built structural drawings, sections, elevations, and layouts. These deliverables provided engineers with accurate information to analyse beam and column capacity for modification and expansion work.
Challenges Faced
Poor air quality within the chemical plant presented obstacles to scanning accuracy and equipment performance. Active plant operations required careful scheduling and strict safety compliance to minimize process disruptions. Despite these environmental constraints, we successfully delivered precision structural documentation meeting all project requirements.
Outcome
Accurate structural as-built drawings enabling precise weight analysis and confident decision-making for plant modifications and expansion.
