Industrial Laser Scanning

Yes, when the capture plan is coordinated with the facility's access, safety, operating and scheduling requirements. Scanner positions and work windows must respect restricted areas, permits and conditions established by the site.

Registered data preserves visible pipe routing, valves, supports, equipment connections and nearby obstructions in one coordinate context. Designers can use that reference to evaluate proposed routes and tie-in interfaces before selected geometry is documented or modeled.

Congestion creates occlusion, so the field plan uses additional viewpoints and overlap where access permits. Critical connections and interfaces should be identified before capture because geometry hidden from every authorized station cannot be measured by the scanner.

It can provide a geometric reference for visible mating surfaces, connection locations and surrounding obstructions. Fabrication tolerances, control, required CAD or model outputs and any field-verification steps must be defined for the specific assignment.
