Project Description
Euler Engineering was engaged to perform a detailed 3D laser scan of an existing bulk materials handling structure, including conveyors, transfer stations, access platforms, stairways, and surrounding steelwork. The facility had undergone multiple modifications over time, with limited or outdated as-built documentation available.
The scan was required to support future engineering works, access upgrades, and maintenance planning within a live operating environment.
Scope & Methodology
-
Conducted a non-intrusive 3D laser scan of the operating plant
-
Captured structural steel, conveyors, drive stations, chutes, walkways, handrails, stairs, ladders, and equipment interfaces
-
Registered and cleaned point cloud data to create a complete, spatially accurate digital record
-
Captured surrounding ground levels, vehicle access areas, and interface zones
-
Delivered scan data suitable for design development, clash detection, and constructability reviews
Outcome & Value
-
Provided an accurate digital representation of complex, multi-level infrastructure
-
Enabled safe and efficient design development without repeated site access
-
Reduced risk of clashes when designing new steelwork, guarding, or access systems
-
Improved confidence for maintenance, shutdown, and upgrade planning
-
Created a reusable digital asset for future engineering, safety, and compliance works
Key Benefit
By capturing the full structure using high-accuracy 3D laser scanning, engineering teams were able to design, review, and plan works remotely with confidence, significantly reducing site risk and rework in a constrained brownfield environment
