Legacy Gas Site

Process Pipeline Services has been working on a large legacy Natural Gas site for several years now. Many of our tasks have involved upgrading the existing piping infrastructure to meet newer regulations. This has been a lot of work as much of the existing infrastructure is old and undocumented. A lot of our effort has gone into locating and identifying the existing utilities above and below grade.

Our most recent task is to identify, locate, and document some existing piping and piping components as as-built drawings. The drawings will be used for asset management and demolition. The best and most efficient way of doing this was using 3D scanning.

By creating a 3D scan of the existing piping, PPS can draw the piping and components relative to there actual locations within the site. PPS is also able to accurately locate buildings and other site features. When planning demolition of existing piping, it is important to fully understand the impact the work could and will have on the site, and 3D scanning was the most efficient and cost effective way to do this.
