PROJECT APPLICATION
ASK
Task
Capture accurate existing conditions of a 25' x 25' x 30' oil tank and connected piping, flanges, nozzles, structural steel, pipe supports, and grade.
PROBLEM
- The client was upgrading their oil tank and needed accurate existing conditions documentation to plan for its safe and efficient removal and replacement
- When replacing large oil tanks, knowing the true shape and condition of the existing tank is critical to ensuring that the new design fits the existing space
- All piping, nozzles, and structural steel around the tank also needed to be accurate captured to ensure a proper fit and mitigate costly delays or rework
Solution
- In less than five hours on site, a GPRS Project Manager 3D laser scanned the tank and surrounding infrastructure
- GPRS' in-house Mapping & Modeling Team registered the captured point cloud data and delivered intensity map, RCS, and PTG files to the client so they could incorporate the accurate, actionable data into their design model
- TruView images of the tank and surrounding infrastructure were also delivered to the client
Benefits
- The point cloud data allows the client to conduct clash detection for interferences that otherwise would lead to costly rework and delays
- The client will be able to safely and efficiently remove and replace the large oil tank
- The client received accurate existing conditions documentation without disrupting their schedule or operations
