Engineering and Metrology Services Company Provides Long Range Scanning / 3D Laser Mapping for Large Utility
Engineering and Metrology Services Provider, 3D Engineering Solutions, Uses Advanced Long-Range Scanning Technology for Detailed 3D Facility Mapping of 19+ Installations Targeted for Retrofit by One of the Largest U.S. Utilities.
Long Range Scanner 976,000 points/per second
Cincinnati-based 3D Engineering Solutions (3DES) recently provided long range laser scanning and 3D laser mapping services for a Fortune 100 utility company delivering electric power to more than 5 million customers in the Midwestern U.S. Using advanced long range laser scanning technology, 3DES was able to develop a detailed 3D map of the utility's facility infrastructure that was targeted for retrofit. This method provided the utility with a streamlined solution to the traditional 2D data collection process, which would have required dispatching engineering teams to remotely located facilities and resulted in incomplete information with subsequent site visits.
Specializing in advanced 3D laser scanning, data collection and CAD modeling services, 3D Engineering Solutions demonstrated the comprehensive, fast and accurate detail delivered by long range scanning and was contracted by the utility to perform on-site 3D laser mapping of over 19 installations within a remote power facility.
"In a matter of a few days, collecting 3D data at a rate of close to a million points per second, we were able to provide detailed and accurate 3D model data to our customer on-time and under budget," noted 3DES Project Engineering Manager, Rob Glassburn, P.E. "One of the exploding markets for 3D Engineering is 3D laser mapping of buildings and facilities. Customer requirements for facility mapping often go beyond the old school 2D surveying and require precise 3D CAD modeled measurement data. Our ability to collect and integrate 3D data utilizing multiple types of touch-less, laser based devices provides us with greater flexibility, allowing us to meet more demanding customer needs."
