3D As-Built Documentation

Modern and accurate methods of surveying play a vital role in the field of planning.

Therefore, TBP bet on 3D laser scanning already in the 90s and has been employing this technology successfully for reconstructions and new erections for existing plants and for detailed as-built documentation in 3D since then.

The long-time cooperation with Zoller & Fröhlich allows TBP today to take advantage of the whole range of proven holistic solutions, software assisted evaluation and full integration of 3D surveying data into the engineering tools TBP uses.

Existing production plants or machinery are captured in 3D with all their details. Thus, spatial coordinates precise to the millimetre are available for subsequent new constructions and reconstructions, on the basis of which 2D construction drawings can be generated without any problem. From the data of the laser scanning (so-called point cloud) 3D models of the current state of a machine or a complete plant can be generated (e.g. equipment, tubes, steel constructions etc.). Moreover, it is possible to generate complete CAD models from the 3D scanning data.

Areas of application:

Transfer of machinery or complete production plants
As-Built documentation of industrial plants
Rearrangement or enlargement of existing plants and machinery
New erection within existing plants

Advantages:

Very precise capturing of the object and its environment - precise to the millimetre
Easier and faster as-built documentation
Shorter project terms through accurate planning data
Point cloud can be purchased from the partner company and used for other purposes
