The 3D Laser Scanning Services (Modules, Heavy Erection and Plant Surveys) is a paradigm shift in marine, offshore, and industrial projects in terms of capturing, analyzing and managing dimensional information. This technology involves non-contact laser measurements to obtain millions of high-precision data points forming a detailed digital image of any physical space or asset. The outcome is 3D data with high resolutions, which will remove any errors in manual measurements, save an immense amount of engineering time, and greatly enhance the planning and safety of complex operations. Sun Marine Engineering, one of the leaders in 3D scanning Singapore, will be your reliable partner in high-accuracy scanning with laser and digitizing marine generation by a digital twin.
Why 3D Laser Scanning Is Essential for Modern Marine & Industrial Projects
The 3D Laser Scanning Services is the paradigm shift in the way marine, offshore and industrial projects would analyse, capture and handle dimensional data. This technology is an example of non-contact laser measurement, where millions of highly accurate data points are captured to form a complete picture of any physical space or asset as a digital representation. The outcome is high resolution 3D data, which eliminates errors in the manual measurement, saves the engineering time by a large margin, and also, the planning and safety of the complex operations is greatly enhanced. Sun Marine Engineering is the primary provider of 3D scanning Singapore with the digital twin marine generation of high accuracy and laser scanning.
Uses of 3D Laser Scanning Services
- Sub-Modules Survey (Structural Modules) Survey (Piping Modules)
The scanning modules are necessary to reduce the fit-up errors in the final installation.
- Dimensional Verification: Dimensional checks to ascertain fabricated dimensions to the design requirements are high.
- Clash Detection: This is the process of determining possible interferences with the already existing structures or other modules to be installed.
- As-built Documentation: Development of correct as-built module scanning models during handover and maintenance.
- Support of Fabrication: This is the support of giving correct pre- fabrication measurements of new connections.
2. Heavy Erection Pre-Survey
With heavy lifts, the most important factors are safety and accuracy.
- Accurate Measures: It involves recording the correct dimensions of the item being lifted and the place where it will be mounted prior to the process of lifting the item.
- Alignment Checks: Ascertaining the verticality and the position of existing structures to be in a perfect fit-up, which is important in scanning erection alignment.
- Structural Integrity Checking: Data to compute the centre of gravity and support structures validation to be safe when heavy lift pre-survey and planning.
3. Equipment & Plant Survey
Perfect in brownfield sites, retrofits and revamps.
- Rapid and precision mapping of complex piping, ductwork and cable trays in confined areas, such as equipment room surveys.
- Development of Digital Twins: The development of accurate models to use in the maintenance planning and future modification to create a real digital twin survey.
- Revamp Support: Allowing engineers to prepare new parts on the basis of the correct piping layout, scan of the existing structure, and eliminating the expensive delays.
The importance of 3D Laser Scanning in Marine, Offshore and Industrial Projects
- Removes Measurement Errors: The digital approach to measurements will be more accurate and verifiable than the manual method, and the error in engineering will be higher because of this.
- minimises Rework: By discovering clashes and mistakes in the design phase, the design is corrected inexpensively and time-saving rework will be avoided in offshore fabrication or installation.
- Enhances Safety: Give important information to prepare and plan safe lifts, reduce risk in complicated lifts.
- Acceleration of the Planning: The Planning is significantly reduced by making use of the immediate, dependable 3D data.
- Supports Documentation: Prepares proper 3D digital records that are necessary in regulatory compliance and survey of marine retrofit.
