3D laser survey for energy production

In the decades ahead, energy will be the core industrial sector: demand will continue to rise, while resources will be increasingly fragile.
In the immediate future, the production of a kilowatt of electricity or a litre of oil will need to satisfy environmental requirements (regarding CO² emissions, flaring, radioactive wastes, etc.).
The upgrading of installations to meet standards will be a key economic factor for industrial operators and maintenance companies.
In this quest to hunt down “non-conformities” (and savings), Urbica can offer a range of tailored solutions which are essential to the early stages of analyses.
The initial applications are set out here – in the certainty that the future will lead to the discovery of others.

APPLICATIONS

Addition of new equipment to an existing site
Kinematics for the movement of equipment in situ
Conformity control of a new installation
Deformation control of civil engineering structures
Generation of an "as-built" or "as-existing" base plan
Generation of a 3D model of a space, room or building
Creation and updating of an equipment data base
Displacement of a generator or turbine
Clash detection between as-built condition and plan or project
Feasibility analysis
Generation of a plan view, section, elevation or isometric
Management of industrial facilities
Installation of new equipment on an existing site
Maintenance (piping, equipment, structure)
Updating of existing plans
3D Dimensional survey and measurements
Pipe connection on an existing system (tie-in)
Replacement or addition of a skid on site
