The SafScan technology is used to creates a precise, as-built copy of any site using laser scanning equipment.
鈥淏y improving accuracy through the collection of one million data points per second, we are able to engineer projects based on a totally reliable, solid foundation of information,鈥� said Jerry Dolly, manager of the bridge Division at Safway. 鈥淭his allows us to plan, order equipment and materials, and schedule labor to improve overall job performance, safety and efficiency.鈥�
Once the 3D coordinate system of points has been gathered, Safway鈥檚 engineers can begin planning for the job. This might include new pipe modeling for a pipe rack project or taking detailed I-beam or tank measurements so that scaffolding and platforms can be built-to-fit before any equipment arrives on the site. The company said that SafScan provides a head start that can save valuable time and money by avoiding interferences and retrofits.
