Our Surveyors have a wide range of knowledge of surveying techniques and considerable experience of surveying offshore platforms and onshore installations for the oil and gas industry. Projects undertaken have ranged from the measurement of individual spools to modeling of entire platforms. Our main area of expertise is in combining laser scanning with color photography, to produce High Dynamic Range coloured three-dimensional point clouds. Using these images, designers, engineers, project managers and construction coordinators can visualize exactly what is on the installation. Project teams rely on the precision of the survey data to fabricate items that will fit when installed, without clashes. Our laser scans can be linked into a control network to provide a three-dimensional, geometrically accurate, model of an installation. Project teams are able to utilize these models to plan larger scopes of work that require construction across decks and between modules. Our Surveyors can use their experience to advise clients on the most appropriate type of survey and the deliverables required for each scope of work. Before each survey the Surveyors will liaise with engineers to ensure the chosen solution is practical, and provides the required level of accuracy. Experienced in the use of the commonly used software applications, the team is able to deliver data, drawings and models that suit clients’ preferences. Services include: •Laser scanning •Total station surveys •Redline markups of isometric drawings •Clash checking •Plant Design Management System (PDMS) compatible coloured point clouds •TruViews (freeware that enables 3D color images to be viewed and shared over the internet)

Dimensional Control Survey Team
“Zero Failures to Fit”
Presented by
Stewart Buchanan Global Head of Sales & Marketing

 Dimensional control surveying is the technique and science whereby 3-dimensional spaces are
accurately measured to determine the area between points, creating digitally mapped distances
and angles.
 Dimensional control can be defined as the process of acquiring extremely accurate dimensional
documentation that is spatially referenced to a known or established benchmark. Using the
latest survey technology, Surveyors can measure and produce 3d Cad models from single pipe
spool replacements to full FPSO/Jacket construction surveys.
 The captured data can be transformed to a clients preferred format, offering quick and easy
data evaluation and problem checking. As we offer a full draughting service, we can provide full
3D models using Micro-station, 2D drawings or Point Cloud data from our Laser Scanners.
What are Dimensional Control Surveys?

3. 3 www.woodgroupodl.com
 Your Challenges- Lack of knowledge of installation, clear visibility, little or no accurate data
 The Benefits - Preventing failures to fit, clash free installations, client owned reusable data,
asset integrity, familiarisation, HSE, accurate repairs, upgrades and maintenance etc.
 Reduce Costs – cost effective, multi use data, such as construction planning, reduce “hot-
work”, increase in safety, reduce on site material handling, “Zero failures to fit”. Reduce the
number of offshore visits
 Dimensional Control can meet these challenges and help ensure "clash-free" design and
installation of projects involving piping, structural and equipment that must integrate and “fit first
time”.
 Fabric & Maintenance, HSE, Familiarisation & Induction, Training, Emergency Response

7. 7 www.woodgroupodl.com
How do we capture the data?
Laser scanner – uses
controlled steering of laser
beams followed by a
distance measurement at
every pointing direction, to
capture the shape of
objects, buildings and
landscapes. Captures large
amount of spatial data in
short period of time.
Total station – a theodolite
integrated with an
electronic distance meter to
read distances from the
instrument to a particular
point with the highest
accuracy. Used for small,
high accuracy tasks (e.g.
tie point surveys)
Camera with a fisheye lens
on a panoramic bracket –
used to capture a complete
panoramic view from each
scan position. The image
can be integrated with laser
scans. Used to produce
highest quality Truviews.

8. 8 www.woodgroupodl.com
What do we offer?
• Clear, high-resolution pictures of as-built
installations
• Accurate measurements to plan and design tie-
ins
• Visualization of potential clashes
• Re-usable surveys
• Flexibility to change scope
• Truview panoramas, available for everyone as
freeware
• Integration with PDMS, AutoCAD, Microstation
and Navisworks

Laser Scanning and It’s Benefits
• Scanning is used to measure surfaces and record spatial relationships
• Requires line of sight, but you can perform and combine multiple scans to record subjects
more fully
• Laser Scanners create three dimensional point clouds representing an object’s surface,
automatically, systematically and at high speed

15. 15 www.woodgroupodl.com
• 3D measurements of distances and volumes
• Clash detection
• Design visualisations
Manipulation of the Point Cloud
