CASE STUDY :
A3D is now operating in Europe,
the A3D brand is becoming a
well-known name throughout
the process industries.
SPECIALISTS IN THE PROCESS INDUSTRY CUTTING EDGE 3D SCANNING TECHNOLOGY MAPPING YOUR SITE FOR ANALYSIS, MODELING, AND DOCUMENTATION
Working in the Netherlands
Our client had a job to design and build a replacement top loading gantry, which was to feed oil into a road tanker, they tried going in and surveying the area, but it was very congested and found they were constantly missing dimensions. ALS went in with a 3D laser scanner, we took 14 scans within the area, which the client specified; we used 12 reference spheres to help triangulate ourselves around the road loading gantry and was able to produce a point cloud file accurate to +/-1mm.
With this file we used specialist point recognition software to accurately model out the pipework within the area, including any pipework fittings, pipe supports and major equipment. The client required the steelwork to be modelled out also, so using the same software we was able to match patterns of point cloud data against a UK steel catalogue and again accurately model out anything from I-Beams to Angle Iron. The client later came back and requested the hand rails for the local steel work walk ways, this took ALS only a couple of hours, we already had all the survey data to be able to model this out.
A3D has clients in Europe, our surveying team are fully equipped with safety passports which are accepted across European terminals

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.

A3D is proud to have established point cloud technologies – now recognized as the preferred method for accurately capturing measured site data using 3D laser scanning instruments – traditional methods are time-consuming and subject to error
P&ID DRAWINGS
Piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) are considered a fundamental requirement for companies managing a process operation. P&IDs play a significant role in its maintenance and modification.
TANK ANALYSIS
The A3D Tank Analysis Reports deliver critical information at a high level of granularity, unachievable by traditional methods. We use advanced 3d laser scanners without the need to employ temporary access platforms, proving to be a very competitively priced alternative.
