The Challenge
A common challenge clients face are slips, trips, and falls, the use of scaffolding, and general safe access to sensitive areas during survey and scanning operations.
The Solution
TBS has created a solution to reduce the amount of scaffolding needed in facilities by utilizing an articulating extendable pole to capture point cloud data high above pipe racks and trains. This method ensures the top of pipe and structural steel components are scanned from a stable platform.
Another benefit to this methodology is that it reduces the risk of personnel slips, trips, and falls from working aloft on scaffolding, as the laser scanner can be remotely operated from the ground level.
Finally, the quality of data is of better accuracy, as the pole is a much more stable environment than a scaffold.
