IRISNDT deploy the latest ultra-portable laser scanners to enable us to capture fast, straightforward and accurate measurements of complex structures, pipelines and vessels. Our scanners are truly mobile and robust for fast, secure and reliable scanning.
Handheld 3D scanners are also utilized by IRISNDT; these are easy-to-use and generate highly accurate and repeatable results—even in difficult environments and with complex surfaces. Ideal for pipelines, headers and manifolds.
Scanners are used both internally and externally for surveys of tanks and vessels. Internal scans are best for insulated vessels and those obscured by piping and ironwork. Internal scanning also has the benefit of capturing elements such as a tank floor whereas external scanning can be carried out with the vessel in service.
Recorded scans are combined to produce a 3D model of the item scanned. This is usually then converted to a 3D mesh to facilitate analysis. A powerful feature is the ability to compare the scan data (actual measurements) with a reference model to identify bulges, dents, floor ripples and so forth. The scan images also provide a good visual record of the item scanned.
