Lack of as-built information for existing facilities is common, and the many challenges and uncertainties that come with this lack of information can cost you money, whether operationally or in new construction. Laser Scanning and Modeling are proven effective methods to obtain accurate as-built documentation to both update existing infrastructure records and mapping as well as get your project started quickly with reliable information. This technology can be used in your treatment plants or other critical assets to meet a minimum of the following needs: retrofits of industrial buildings and equipment, documentation of existing conditions and historic structures, facilities management, structural analysis, implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM), clash detection, deformation monitoring, and areas that are difficult or impossible to safely reach and measure. The future of laser scanning and modeling is here – join this presentation to learn how it can be used to efficiently help meet your utility’s many needs!
