Maritime Applications

Marine & Offshore

We specialize in 3D Laser Scanning for the maritime and offshore industry, capturing highly accurate point cloud data that forms the foundation for drafting, engineering models and detailed as-built documentation.

The generated digital datasets support site surveys, damage investigations, retrofit planning, feasibility studies, clash detection and reverse engineering projects across vessels, offshore structures and marine facilities.

Providing precise digital capture of existing conditions, enabling faster planning, improved accuracy and reduced project risk throughout marine and offshore environments.

As-Built Documentation

Create accurate vessel and offshore asset records directly from measured scan data.

Damage Investigation

Capture structural conditions quickly and safely for inspection and assessment.

Retrofit Engineering

Construction & As-Built Modelling

Capture Existing Conditions With Confidence

3D Laser Scanning forms the foundation of modern measurement and surveying techniques, providing highly accurate data for a wide range of as-built documentation and engineering applications.

As a non-contact measurement technology, structures of any size, shape or age can be captured quickly and safely. It is particularly valuable for surveying complex environments where traditional measurement methods may be time-consuming, disruptive or impractical.
