NDT INSPECTION DRAWINGS
A major UK pharmaceutical firm, required piping isometrics for NDT purposes of their main process plant, because of the size of the processing unit (over 6000m2) and their limited staff, they asked us to scan the unit and from the scan data produce isometrics. The unit consisted of two buildings (each roughly 500m2), which both had a minimum of 3 floors, and a roofing area, which consisted of a further few levels of steelwork walkways.
We went in with a three-man team, two scanners, and a total of 24 reference spheres; we scanned around the perimeter of each building, including any chillers and storage tanks, then made our way into scan the inside of the buildings. The client was pleased that we were able to move quickly through the rooms, with minimal disruption to the everyday running of their plant.
The scan data was later registered together at a high accuracy, enabling the scan data to be taken and used for multiple applications including 3D Webshare, 3D BIM, 3D Steelwork, drainage floor plans, P&IDs and 3D pipework that would later be used to export the NDT (API570) isometrics.
The client was happy with the job we completed, they found the webshare, which we supplied for free an incredible tool; it has now enabled them to walk their site (even during production) safely and take accurate measurements.
Laser surveys offer a safer, more accurate option to obtain site information, Allowing our clients to take measurements whilst still in production.

JOB BREAKDOWN
Pre-Planning
A3D will complete pre-planning in order to determine the most efficient and therefore, cost effective solution.
Risk & Method Statements
A3D recognise that any form of site work on an operating site must be subject of both RAMS along with planning documents in order to expedite an efficient and safe survey.
3D Laser Scan
Recognized as the preferred method for accurately capturing measured site data using 3D laser scanning instruments. Traditional methods being time-consuming and subject to error.
Register Scan Data
Once A3D has been out on site with the 3D Laser Scanners we then process the scan using faro scene software.
Auto Pipework Recognition
A3D uses pipework recognition software to pick out the spherical shapes from the point cloud data this saves valuable time modeling.
Once A3D has been out on site with the 3D Laser Scanners we then process the scan using faro scene software.
Extrapolate Steel Work
Once A3D has been out on site with the 3D Laser Scanners we then process the scan using faro scene software.
A3D uses the client's specific nomenclature.
