A very suitable application for 3D laser scanning is facility management. Facility management is defined as the maintenance and safe operation of a commercial or industrial plant, building or factory. Pre-planning and documentation of as-builts are critical when designing modifications to the infrastructure.
A recent example of such an event occurred at a municipal ice rink. An engineering firm was contracted to install a new geoexchange cooling system in the mechanical room. Downtime was a great concern to the client so incentives were actually included in the contract for the engineering firm.
In order to beat the deadline GKS Global Service was brought in to conduct 3D laser scans of the mechanical room with the existing system. Within an hour six scans were conducted to capture the 30’ x 50’ room. The resulting 3D CAD model allowed the mechanical engineers to plan the install within separate phases. New fittings could be installed without interfering with existing pipes and critical lines were shut down with only minimal downtime. The FARO laser Scanner Photon proved to be the tool to not only exceed the customer’s deadline, but to also provide accurate detailed modeling data which would have taken up to three weeks using old traditional methods.
