Long Range 3D Scanning

A The 3D data file of the scan of the site or building allows you to get dimensions after the fact and without going back to get more information. This greatly speeds up the project and most importantly, provides greater reliability that the project will be completed correctly with no surprises

Long Range laser scanning is a ground-based laser scanning technique for collecting high-density 3D geospatial data. Its purpose is to enable 3D scanning of very large-scale, complex entities, such as entire buildings, factories, power plants, rooms, landscapes, seagoing vessels, and other structures and locations. Both the inside and the outside of structures can be scanned, as well as natural environments for surveying and design purposes.

Today large-scale 3D laser scanning is a viable alternative for surveying sites and structures like never before.

GKS Inspection Services announced it is now offering daily, weekly, and monthly rentals of FARO portable measurement equipment, including the FARO LS-880 for long-range scanning projects

GKS Inspection Services announced that it will be opening service bureau offices in Buffalo/Niagara Falls, NY and in Los Angeles, CA in 2009.

Offshore oil production facilities provide tremendous dimensional control challenges throughout their entire lifecycle – but there is a solution.

GKS Marine Services offers laser scanning for marine applications. 3D scanning for marine applications, also called long-range scanning, is a ground-based technique for collecting high-density 3D data to create digital models of complex entities such as seagoing vessels, offshore platforms, ships’ systems, vintage boats, and other big structures and locations, both inside and out.

GKS Global Services announced that is has changed its name from GKS Inspection Services to reflect the broader scope and range of GKS’s service offerings and worldwide locations.

Today’s marine technologies encompass work in the fields of transportation, merchant markets, and the military, as well as underwater exploration, offshore drilling platforms, and high-speed and pleasure crafts. Under their umbrella are the most complex mobile structures in the world, and millions of people’s lives and livelihoods depend on them.

The majority of marine vessels that are in service today do not have digital documentation or CAD models. Despite the fact that vessels under construction today are being designed based on 3D data, they suffer the same lack of documentation of their true as-built geometries.

Valador designs and builds information architectures for strategic planning, engineering, analysis, and management of highly complex systems. Valador’s services include visual and model simulations utilizing game engine technology.

A mechanical engineering firm was contracted to install new cooling equipment in a municipal ice rink’s mechanical room. The challenge was to design the equipment install without tearing out the old equipment first and to install some elements and piping that housed the refrigerant around the current equipment configuration to limit downtime of the facility when the cooling unit was actually disconnected.
