Laser Scanning for Spray-Cooled™ EAF Roof Conversion

  • 3D model of the new EAF roof and prefabricated piping installed at the customer site

The customer decided to switch to a Systems Spray-Cooled EAF Roof. Systems Engineering scanned the existing facility so that an accurate model could be built to accommodate the new roof. Systems engineered the new piping system so that it could be pre-fabricated to minimize plant downtime. When the plant goes down, Systems will be ready to install the pre-fabricated spools in place and get them back to making steel quickly. This customer will not have to worry about interferences, because they have already been accounted for with the laser scans.

Once the EAF roof installation is complete, our laser scan team can scan the finished result to provide an as-built representation of their new system.

Another feature of our laser scans is our ability to exclude people or unwanted objects from the scans, which can be seen in the images above and below.
