Major 3D Scanning Civil Engineering and Infrastructure Opportunities
Precision is crucial in civil engineering, but measuring and surveying can be time-consuming. 3D scanning has revolutionized this by providing accurate, data-rich models quickly, enhancing efficiency in various tasks.
In this blog, we explore key areas where 3D scanning can improve precision, efficiency, or insight.
Bridges and Tunnels
- Bridge Bearings: 3D scanning in different seasons shows structural movement, helping identify and replace faulty bearings.
- Bridge Strikes: Scanners determine if a truck exceeded height limits or if the bridge has settled.
- Bridge Repair: 3D scanning creates accurate CAD models for planning repairs, extending the lifespan of aging infrastructure.
Roads and Highways
- Safety Inspection: Mobile 3D scanning must flag low barriers caused by resurfacing.
- Maintenance and Repair: It must identify road dips and create cross-sectional drawings for accurate material estimates.
Industrial Facilities
- Chimney Inspection: 3D scanning must provide complete data on chimneys.
- Cooling Towers: It must monitor for cracks and safety issues.
- Furnaces: It must deliver precise data on furnaces without risking survey teams.
General Infrastructure
- Safety Structures: 3D scanning must reverse engineer and remanufacture assets like fire escapes.
- Complex Assets: It must create accurate models for unique structures.
- RAAC Inspection: It must assess degradation in reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete.
Real-life Use Cases
3D scanning must save time and increase precision and efficiency in various applications. Many companies are using it successfully.
Make precision the new standard in your civil and infrastructure projects.
