GKS can scan everything from small detailed parts to power plants, nuclear stations, pipes and more. Benefits of 3D long range scanning:

• 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

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 facilities 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.

From 3D Data GKS will provide you with:

• As-built data to prevent disasters
• Digital Site Survey
• Dimensional Control
• Asset Documentation
• BIM/CAD Solutions

Applications of 3D Facilities Scanning:

Long range 3D laser scanning is invaluable in conditions when chemical process plants lack up-to-date site documentation. Compliance with the latest Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements makes such documentation necessary for most facilities. Long Range laser scanning provides a fast and relatively inexpensive method to produce accurate drawings.

Laser scanning can document both the indoor and outdoor areas of existing facilities. The resulting 3D models can be used for many purposes such as measuring piping in process plants as is required for compliance with safety regulations. In a typical example, a small plant was scanned in 4 days compared to an estimated month that would have been required using manual measurement methods.
