3D LASER SCANNING

ANTEA, WITH A STRONG 3D MODELING BACKGROUND, CAN ALSO USE LASER SCANNING METHODOLOGY TO PRODUCE A THREE-DIMENSIONAL POINT CLOUD FOR PLANTS SURVEYING AND SUBSEQUENT MODELING

3D LASER SCANNING

The use of this technology allows, de facto, to acquire a company’s asset data and specifications in a more natural and faster manner.

The entire process has the following steps:

  • – Laser Scanning: provides the total scanning of the facility or any portion thereof, obtaining millions of points.
  • – Point Cloud Rendering: the elements formed by points (Point Clouds) are transformed into single Vector 3D elements.
  • – Contextualization: each single item is recognized based on type starting from its Vector 3D representation with the ability to navigate intelligently through the facility, availability of technical data specific to each component

Antea has developed a tool that can reduce rendering time and optimize contextualization.

After completing the contextualization phase, it is possible to visualize a three-dimensional model of the whole system, as if walking inside it.

TECHNICAL MODULES

INSPECTION MANAGER

Inspection Manager encloses all functionalities for an easier management of a Plant’s Inspection Data.

HEATER MANAGEMENT

The complexity of Heater exchanger has been tackled with a separate module that allows modeling and visualizing them down to the most specific details (serpentines)

TANK FARM

The tank inventory has a specific area within the Antea Software Suite to attain a high level of details.

OFF-SHORE PLATFORM

A specific module has been developed in order to simplify platform management and to provide an immediate display through 3D representation.
