CASE STUDY :
ALS are now operating in Europe, the ALS
brand is becoming a well known name
throughout the process industries.
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.
ALS have CLIENTS in EUROPE, our surveying Team are fully equipped with SAFETY passports which are accepted across european termianls

PRE-pLANNING
AlS will complete pre-planning in order to determine the most efficient and therefore, cost effective solution.
RISK & METHOD STATEMENTS
ALS 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
Recognised as the referred method for accurately capturing measured site data in using 3D laser scanning instruments. Traditional methods being time consuming and subject to error.
register scan data
Ounce ALS has been out on site with the 3D Laser Scanners we then process the scan using faro scene software.
AUTO PIPEWORK RECOGNITION
ALS uses pipework recognition software to pick out the spherical shapes from the point cloud data this save valuable time modelling.
STEEL WORK EXTRAPOLATION
ALS can provide steel work models this can aid clients in the situation where they need feed a new line through the site. ALS offer clash detection services.
ADD PIPING COMPONENTS
Ounce ALS has been out on site with the 3D Laser Scanners we then process the scan using faro scene software.
LINE NUMBER
ALS uses the clients specific nomenclature.

CLIENT BENEFITS
LASER SCANNING
ALS are proud to have established point cloud technologies, now recognised as the preferred method for accurately capturing measured site data in using 3D laser scanning instruments. Traditional methods being time consuming and subject to error,
3D MODELLING
The vast engineering experience from over 30 years working within process industries has resulted in ALS now leading in the production of ‘brown field’ technical process models. ALS recognised the importance of our skilled 3D laser surveyors site familiarity.
SMART P&IDS
Piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) are considered a fundamental requirement for companies operating a process operation. P&IDs play a significant role in the maintenance and modification of the process that it describes and should be maintained
