Faro Focus3D Laser Scanning for MEP Seismic Upgrades

In this video we look at the process required to assess the MEP system and introduce how 3D laser scanning is used to perform this task in a more manageable and cost effective manner with the added benefit of providing as-built information of the owner’s facility.

3D Deepwater Explorer Piping Systems – Laser Scan Isolations

An example of using segmented 3D laser scan data of shipboard piping systems for visualization, as-built information, modeling of replacement upgrades, and clash detection.

3D Laser Scanning – Customize Piping Systems – Isolated Point Cloud Data

Deepwater Explorer’s engine room laser scanned and registered. Point cloud is isolated and piping systems are modeled and customized.

Bellingham Granary Building – 3D Laser Scanned

The local Bellingham Granary building laser scanned and modeled using FARO laser scanners, Revit Architecture for floor plans and modeling, and Kohera3D software for processing and classifying scan data.

3D Laser Scan of Damaged Gulfstream G4 Located in Tahiti

This example demonstrates the benefit of isolated scan data to view various parts of an aircraft by selectively hiding the other parts. Using this process on the the aircraft’s wing made it possible to virtually break the wing down to its minimum shipping dimensions and confirm it could be transported in the available cargo plane.
