3D Laser Scan/Survey Modelling
EPMS is one of a small number of consultancies
able to competently interpret 3D laser scan
survey data, and create accurate 3D models of
existing plant and structure. EPMS has been able
to create ‘as built’ models sufficiently accurate
for use as basis of design for structural additions
and changes. Despite being slow to gain traction,
EPMS is confident that 3D laser scanning is the
future for activities such as generating ‘as built’
drawings, and designing around plants for which
no electronic drawings exist.
Study Expertise
EPMS understands the process and challenges
clients face when taking projects from Scoping
Level through to Operating Plants. Through
past involvement on various projects, our
Management Team is highly experienced and
confident at every step of the project cycle.
We have a complete understanding of
metallurgy, mining, minerals processing, material
handling and transportation (solids and liquids),
port facilities and supporting infrastructure.
