3D Laser Scanning

This paper summarizes the economic benefits of applying 3D laser scanning technologies to the design, construction and operation of industrial plants. We examine how these technologies deliver four main benefits: risk mitigation; cost reduction and schedule compression; improved safety for capital project delivery, maintenance and operations; and how these benefits are realized and exploited by asset owner/operators, engineering/construction firms and 3D laser scanning service provider contractors. This paper was commissioned by Faro Technologies, a supplier of 3D laser scanning solutions.
