Stop Imagining, Start Believing

Laser Scanning to produce As-Built models is becoming a much more effective and popular method of bringing the Plant to the Engineer's Desktop. Scanning is more cost effective, accurate and safe as it eliminates engineers having to climb up high to obtain required measurements. 


Once Engineers have acquired digital As-Built Scan data, what options are available to produce the deliverables they need?



With CADWorx fieldPipe Professional, Raw scan data can be quickly and efficiently converted into intelligent piping components.  CADWorx Plant Professional can be used to modify and add intelligent piping and equipment to the 3D Model. Bi-Directional integration can be used to export the 3D Model to Caesar II for Stress Analysis and Design and PV Elite for design and analysis. Isogen and PV Fabricator will create accurate vessel drawings and Isometric Drawing based on the analysed model. 

A short video on this process can be viewed by clicking on the link below.
