Long Range 3D Scanning

Petrochemical Scanning

GKS can scan everything from small detailed parts to petrochemical plants, refineries, rigs and more.

  • Size of scanned object is unlimited
  • Receive CAD models of the actual on-site conditions
  • Scanning projects performed worldwide
  • Scan in virtually any environment- light, dark, indoors, and outdoors
  • As-built data to prevent disasters
What is 3D Long Range Scanning? 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. Both the inside and the outside of structures can be scanned, as well as natural environments for surveying and design purposes.

Using the highly accurate 3D scan data generated with long range scanning, engineers and designers can create CAD models of actual site conditions by processing the scan data into universally usable CAD models.

GKS has gained a wide range of experience, from 3D documentation of piping to entire refineries scanned. We pride ourselves on providing the highest accuracy of data and presenting the data in the most useful format to you. With over 25 years experience of 3D CAD and Digital content systems, we have the ability to transform the massively detailed information recorded by 3D laser scanning in to the correct end product for you.

Applications of 3D Petrochemical Scanning:

  • Refineries and rigs contain mazes of pipe work, documenting existing setups and planning for alterations can be facilitated by accurate as built 3D data gathered by GKS through long range 3D laser scanning.
  • Incomplete or obsolete facility documentation plagues the industry, GKS can provide as-built data where modifications can be viewed in the design to check for potential collisions and necessary reworks. This reduces the time required during the construction and can lead to huge benefits.
  • The lifecycle of the plant can be documented through repeat scans detailing any changes occurring and maintaining an accurate record of the current plant condition.
  • The possibilities are limitless! With 3D long range scanning you are not limited to size, environment, daylight/night or space restrictions. GKS offers quick turnaround and accurate, guaranteed results to save you both time and money.
