Heater Replacement

About a month ago we talked about a heater replacement we were working on. Knowing we would need some solid as-built data, a 3D scan was done of the existing conditions to assist in a new design. By using the 3D scan data, we were able to create a Point Cloud that was then placed directly into AutoCAD. This allowed us to create a 3D model in CAD that accurately represented the existing conditions. We have been able to proceed with greater confidence in how the existing conditions of the facility were represented. This was crucial because a good portion of the existing piping is going to be demolished, and the new design will need to tie into what is left. We have found the design flow to be much smoother than previous projects where we had used the traditional tape and sketch method
