Projects

3D Scan offers real advantages for shipyards, naval architects, metal fabricators, architects, historians, archaeologists, geologists, developers, mining operators, high tech manufacturers, departments of transportation, heavy construction companies, and civil engineers.

Durham Wastewater Treatment Plant Digester Piping

Westlake used 3D scan to prepare as-builts of two existing digester pipes. 3D laser scanning enabled us to obtain data about the pipes and connections remotely - without directly accessing the pipes.

The point cloud (3D scan raw data) was rendered to produce geometrically accurate 3D models and graphics. From the point clouds we were able to provide dimensions and 3D pipe flange locations. Data was also exported to AutoCad to produce drawings.

John Day Dam (Columbia River) Lock Upstream Lift Gate

Under contract to Thompson Metal Fab, Inc., Westlake completed 3D measurements of the lcok gate prior to repair and painting.  Techniques included both the 3D coordinate discrete point measurement capabilities of Westlake’s Industrial Measurement Department and 3D Scan.

Scanning was used to prepare a contour map of the skin plate and to obtain measurements of the trusses and end plates. These data were compared with our discrete point measurements.

The south end of the gate was rendered to create a model of key structures.

COE Manufacturing – Lathe Dimensioning

An old lathe dating to the 1800s was scanned to provide overall dimensions and to determine the maximum height and width for relocation.

The scans enabled our client to visually assess the machine and complete their planning.  The point clouds were used for direct dimensioning of the lathe.
