Laser Scanning for General Arrangement
For this project, we were approached by a steel mill built in the early 90’s that did not have any up-to-date drawings of what was currently in their melt shop. Our team went in with our Leica laser scanners to scan their melt shop, then using the point cloud data, we generated a General Arrangement
Ladle Preheater Frame Replacement
A customer’s ladle preheater had sustained excessive wear, on-the-fly modifications, and collision damage with ladles over the years and was not 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
Quick-Turn Structural Design & Fabrication
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 support was sufficiently scanned to start designing. The A-frame had structural damage from equipment contact and decay from years of being in service. The 3D
Spray-Cooled Drop-Out Chamber Piping
The customer decided to install a new Systems Spray-Cooled Drop-Out Chamber for their melt shop. Space was tight and the plant had very short windows to install the pipe. In an effort keep the plant running, the pipe had to be engineered and fabricated perfectly. The underground gravity return lines were sloped and required many
Spray-Cooled EAF Roof Conversion
The customer decided to make the switch to a Systems Spray-Cooled EAF Roof. Systems Engineering came out and scanned the existing facility so that an accurate model could be built to accommodate the new roof. Systems engineered the new piping system in such a way that they could be pre-fabricated to minimize plant down time.
Convent Steam Drum
The customer was looking to install crossover valves on their steam drum piping in an effort to keep their steam drum in production. The work took place 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
Collaboration: See what it will look like before it goes in
With some of our customers having their entire site laser scanned, 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 any install happens. This
Pressure Vessel Replacement: Design, Fabrication, and Install
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
Confined Spaces
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
Laser Scanning for As-Built Drawings
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
