Valdes Conducts Laser Scanning Seminar

Valdes Engineering Company conducted a series of seminars on "Laser Scanning - A Powerful Tool in the Engineering/Design Process".

Existing manufacturing facilities are typically congested with layers of complex equipment, piping, structural steel and conduit. In many cases, as-built design documentation and drawings are incomplete or out of date. This lack of accurate information has been a challenging and costly problem to solve from an engineering and design standpoint. Recent advancements in Laser Scanning/3D modeling technology have had a significant and beneficial impact on our ability to safely support and execute plant additions, revamp projects, turnarounds and scheduled maintenance activities.

Participants will learn the technology behind modeling and laser scanning, the role of traditional surveying in industrial settings, other uses for lasers in industry (alignment, etc), how to incorporate laser scanning into projects, and the benefits and pitfalls of scanning.
