Projects
FMCG Dairy Plant–Pump addition Takanini, Auckland
The Project
The client wanted to split a manifold on a FMCG
Dairy site that was feeding 1 pump in a very
congested area to feed 2 pumps for improving
operability and flexibility of their process. The
project was located inside the “Red Line” or
Hygienic Area of their Food Processing Plant.
3D Laser Scanning was utilized to capture the as-
built data of the existing Food Processing area
concentrating on the location of the new pump, the
Ripening Tanks, & the existing piping for Tie-In
locations in the extremely concentrated area. This
was critical in ensuring that all possible
interferences and clashes were identified and
avoided in the design of the pump suction piping,
the pump discharge piping, & the new pump
location.
Time was saved by collecting all relevant
dimensional data of everything pertaining to the
location of the new pump and clearances for the
Tie-in’s and pipe routing over the existing piping,
equipment locations, & Ripening Tanks.
The Delivery
Upon processing of the collected data a fully
registered 3D point cloud was created from the
scan data. That point cloud was then exported to
Autodesk ReCap for use in Plant 3D
That 3D point cloud was then used as an as-built
reference in the design of the piping Tie-in’s, pipe
routing of the pump suction & discharge lines,
locating the placement of the new Ripen pump.
The 3D point cloud proved invaluable in garnering
dimensional data for all kinds of different
applications to aid the project downstream of the
initial design.
One such discovery was the interference of the
existing electrical panel door to the new piping, the
scan data allowed Babbage to identify this clash
early on so that a suitable solution could be
enacted prior to work commencing. Another was
utilized months later when a drainage study was
initialized, the scan data collected was instrumental
in creating a floor “heat map” that showed easily
the drainage patterns of the area.
