To estimate the scope and cost of a retrofit project, accurate as-built drawings are an essential during front-end engineering stages. 3D laser scanning technology offers an ideal solution for capturing existing geometry and physical relationships as a basis for front-end engineering.

3D laser scanning can also help provide viable solutions to challenges arising mid-project, restore confidence in achieving project goals, and reduce the impact of re-work and re-engineering arising from a low level of front-end engineering.

Benefits include:

• Reduction of frequent field visits
• Measurements of hard to reach features
• Provides for off-site interactive measuring
• Accurate 3D measurements/model
• Fewer field fit-ups, re-work
• Less outage, shut-down, turnaround time
