Faster Turnaroun

ds Owner/Operator Need Owner/Operator Pain Point Value Service Provider Offers

Minimize downtime Downtime costs $$$$! Accurate as-built data enables better planning

Minimize uncertainty/risk Unforeseen problems can compound costs

Minimize unanticipated challenges such as clearance, sequencing and injury

Optimize maintenance and upgrade timing

Improperly timed disruptions are more expensive

Intelligent 3D models help facilitate preventative maintenance schedules

Align Your Services to Owner’s Needs & Pain Points

TruePoint Laser Scanning, LLC.

• President and Owner of TruePoint Laser Scanning, LLC.

• Ohio registered engineering firm• Focuses solely on providing 3D laser

scanning and related deliverables to its nationwide client base

Firm Name• In-house modeling team

consisting of engineers, architects and CAD technicians

• Sole business is laser scanning and related services

• Registered engineering firm• Scan technicians located

throughout the U.S.

TruePoint Laser Scanning

• Owners who possess as-built models gain advantages but…• struggle to quantify the value of

early as-built scanning/modeling • the cost of an as-built model can

be more easily funded if a change-order requires it

• Perceptions are changing. Possessing accurate as-built documentation provides compounding returns.

Conveying the Value of As-Built Scanning/Modeling to OwnersWater Treatment Plant

Municipal Water Treatment PlantOhioProject Scope: Plant Expansion

Firm Name

• Toledo, OH• No good current as-built

drawings of the facility• Client needed entire site

modeled to complete upgrades

Water Treatment Plant

• Plant produces 120 MGD• Scan the sublevel of site• LOD – 350-400• Tied to survey control

About the ProjectWater Treatment Plant

• Limited to line of sight• Accessibility• Large, complex and congested

site• Other ongoing work in area

Unique Challenges FacedWater Treatment Plant

Firm Name• Leica scanners• Occupied survey control• Some targets acquired in

field and others in post processing

Field Collection Workflow

Firm Name• 300 scans• Multiple weeks on site• Leica Cyclone• Utilized a variety of tripods

and jib to get good line of sight

• Variety of targets• Fixed height tripods• Self adhesive targets• Paper targets• Magnetic targets

Field Collection Workflow

• Import and register data• Export point clouds into PTG• Take into Edgewise• Utilized external hard drives• Up to 6 modelers working• Non-standard valves and flanges

had to be custom modeled

Back-Office Modeling WorkflowWater Treatment Plant

• Piping, conduit down to ½” outside diameter and ductwork• Able to auto-extract • QA/QC Tool• Layers pipes into different system• Apply ANSI standard to non-custom

pipe• Ability to export to Revit with

intelligence• Ability to connect pipe runs

Water Treatment PlantEdgewise in Action

Firm Name• Point cloud is a large file• Important to know what

version of Revit prior to starting model

• Schedule

Final Deliverable

EdgeWise Workflow Time SavingsWater Treatment Plant

• 60% time savings

• 76,000 pipes and conduit in 4 hours of processing time

• Hands off

• QA/QC saves time

• Stand alone from other software licenses

• Use a high quality scanner to reduce point cloud noise• Get existing drawings from client

to compare system information• Comprehensive scanning

produces better results• Tie to survey control

Coal-Fired Power PlantNorth CarolinaProject Scope: Ash Disposal Upgrade

• 2 operating units of a large Coal-Fired Power Plant (began operation in 1960’s)• Additional Ash Disposal Line to

be designed, engineered, routed through existing infrastructure• LOD-300 – Model to be utilized

for pipe routing and equipment placement• 36,000 SF scope• 7 Floors of Scanning = 270 Scans• Local Coordinate System

About the ProjectCoal-Fired Power Plant

In General• Coordinate System• Vibration• Steam / Dust• Manual vs Automatic Registration

Project Specific• Aggressive Schedule• 2 Separate Models were needed • Aligning Scans / Model with

Previous Scans / Models (destroyed control)• Project Owner

• Old mindset vs new• Vendor vs Engineer

Unique Challenges FacedCoal-Fired Power Plant

Firm Name• Survey Control (Local Plant Coordinates)

• Recover old• Establish new

• Ground• Each level

• Target Placement• Spheres / Flat• Magnetic / Adhesive• Limited Accessibility

Field Collection Workflow

Firm Name• Faro Scanner• 2 Units - ~150 scans each• ~3-5 days per unit for scanning• Plant in operation

• Maintenance activities• Steam• Vibration• 7 levels• Stair/Ladder access

• Registration• Control / # of Targets• Manual vs. Automatic

• Export for 3D Modeling

Field Collection Workflow

• Scene > EdgeWise > Modeling > Revit/CAD• Local SSD/Ex HDD• 1 Modeler• Tying Model into previously

existing model

Back-office Modeling WorkflowCoal-Fired Power Plant

• Pipe – Auto Extraction, 75% of pipes found; layering.• Steel/Cable Trays/Misc Objects• Not able to use Auto Extract for

Steel, only in select cases.• 98% of the model was created in

Edgewise• Non-Typical Steel Members

EdgeWise in PracticeCoal-Fired Power Plant

• Bringing Everything together• CAD deliverable vs Revit

Deliverable• Recap• Webshare

Final Deliverable

EdgeWise Workflow Time SavingsCoal-Fired Power Plant

Estimated Old Workflow: 450 Hours

EdgeWise Workflow: 185 Hours

60% Time Savings with EdgeWise Workflow

-Biomedical Facility

• Completing the Model Section by Section• Navisworks Project Review• Utilizing Edgewise to create as

many objects as possible• Elbows in Revit(Service Dept.
