Project Overview
Alto Ingredients needed to integrate new heat exchangers into their existing facility while ensuring seamless piping connections between multiple buildings. The project required highly accurate as-built documentation to assist in clash detection, integration with current piping infrastructure, structural planning for both the buildings and independent pipe supports, and overall project documentation.
Project Details
- Client: JDR Engineering
- Category: 3D Laser Scanning
- Tools: Leica RTC360, Revit
The Wassi Group’s Role
The Wassi Group was contracted by JDR Engineering to perform high-precision 3D laser scanning of the facility, capturing critical data for effective project planning.
Using the Leica RTC360, we provided comprehensive site documentation with millimeter-level accuracy, ensuring that engineers had a precise digital twin of the existing conditions.
Our deliverables included:
- 3D Laser Scanning (Covering multiple buildings and interconnecting piping spans)
- Unified .RCP and .LGS Deliverables for integration into Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks
- High-Resolution Panoramic Imaging (432MP spherical images)
- Architectural & Structural Modeling in Revit
- Point Cloud-Based PDF Drawings (Sections, elevations, and key structural details)
Project Applications
The scan data provided by The Wassi Group is being used for:
– Clash Detection – Ensuring new piping and heat exchangers integrate without interference with existing systems.
– Structural Engineering – Supporting calculations for building integrity and independent pipe supports.
– Piping System Integration – Helping JDR Engineering design efficient routing while avoiding existing obstructions.
– Project Planning & Documentation – Providing a detailed, accurate representation of current conditions to all stakeholders.
Project Status
While The Wassi Group has successfully completed our portion of the project, the overall integration process is ongoing. Our data capture is currently aiding JDR Engineering and Alto Ingredients in the design and implementation phases.
Outcome & Impact
By leveraging high-accuracy 3D scanning, The Wassi Group significantly streamlined the planning and engineering processes for this project. Our data has minimized uncertainties, reduced potential rework, and provided essential insights for efficient heat exchanger installation and piping integration.
