This is a project in which we generated 2D and 3D model General Arrangement drawings of equipment in a steel mill. Built in the early 90’s, they had no up-to-date drawings of what was currently in their melt shop. Our team went in with our Leica laser scanners to scan their shop. Then using the

A customer’s ladle preheater had sustained excessive wear, on-the-fly modifications, and collision damage with ladles over the years and was no longer functioning properly. We had to utilize our laser scanning technology to make this system functional again! The existing frame had unrecoverable damage and wear from years of use. We were able to scan

This customer approached Systems asking for assistance on an A-frame support that needed to be rebuilt. We reviewed laser scans that we already had of the area and determined that the steel support was sufficiently scanned to start a quick-turn design and fabrication replacement. The A-frame had structural damage from equipment contact and decay from

The customer decided to install a new Systems Spray-Cooled Panelized Drop-Out Chamber for their melt shop. Space was tight and the plant had very short windows to install the pipe. To keep the plant running, the engineering and fabrication of piping had to be perfect. The underground gravity return lines were sloped and required many

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

The customer wanted to install crossover valves on their steam drum piping to keep their steam drum in production. The work occurred at high elevation, so field measurements would have been a challenge. We decided to move forward with a 3-D laser scan of their reactor tower so we could redesign the piping system. The

With some of our customers having their entire site laser scanned for a 3D model, they can reach out to us in real time with new projects, whether that is engineering that we’re doing or if they have a model from another vendor, and quickly see what their ideas/planned projects will look like digitally before

For this job, the customer had two identical pressure vessels, but only one was in operating condition. They requested that we generate fabrication drawings of an identical pressure vessel, for a replacement. We started by scanning both tanks as they sat. From that scan we were able to get the overall dimensions the tank needed

Systems was asked to perform a scan in the basement of an electrical substation. The basement only has restricted ladder access, so the entire basement requires a confined space permit to enter. The managers were looking to install a staircase for safer, easier access for regular maintenance. The site required bids from multiple companies before

Admit it, we know that construction projects aren’t always built EXACTLY like the drawings or the model. Modifications and improvements are often made mid-project, with the intention of capturing those changes with field sketches or redlined drawings. With Systems 3D laser scans, redlined drawings are a thing of the past. Systems installed the piping for
