Pebbly Beach Generation Station

  1. Laser Scanning with NavVis VLX:

    • The NavVis VLX is a mobile LiDAR scanner that allows for efficient and accurate 3D data capture. This technology is ideal for scanning large facilities quickly, providing detailed information about the spatial layout and existing conditions of the site.

  2. Point Cloud Generation:

    • The collected data from the laser scan creates a point cloud, which is a set of data points in space representing the scanned surfaces of the objects within the facility. This point cloud serves as a digital replica of the physical environment.

  3. 3D Mesh Creation with PointFuse:

    • PointFuse is software used to convert point clouds into 3D models. By creating a 3D mesh, the data becomes more manageable and easier to work with, facilitating further analysis and design processes.

  4. Applications for the Client:

    • Verification of Design Documents: By comparing the point cloud and 3D mesh with existing design documents, the client can ensure that the as-built conditions match the original design. This verification is crucial for identifying discrepancies and planning necessary modifications.

    • Development of Shop Drawings: The precise 3D model assists in creating detailed shop drawings, which are essential for fabrication and construction. These drawings provide exact dimensions and layouts for the equipment skids, piping, and other structural components.
