Location: KEK Kosovo
Time: March 2021 - May 2021

Project Overview

Description:

We processed point cloud data to create an accurate and optimized 3D CAD model for deformation inspection. The project focused on analyzing wall deformation of a 65-meter-high furnace by comparing the existing conditions with the Detailed Design CAD model using SOLIDWORKS.

Scope of Work:

1. Point Cloud Data Processing:

Processed the captured point cloud data representing the existing condition of the furnace.

Converted the point cloud data into a parametric 3D CAD model optimized for use in SOLIDWORKS.

2. Model Accuracy and Deformation Inspection:

Maintained high accuracy, with the point cloud representing the existing conditions within a tolerance of ±1 mm and the 3D CAD model within ±5 mm.

Verified model accuracy by comparing cross-sections at 50 cm intervals throughout the height of the 65-meter furnace.

Performed deformation analysis by comparing the Detailed Design CAD model with the As-Built CAD model created from the scanned data.

Analyzed deviations at consistent 50 cm cross-section intervals to identify and measure wall deformation.

Key Outcomes

High-Precision Model: Developed an accurate 3D CAD model with controlled tolerances, providing reliable data for further engineering analysis.

Detailed Deformation Analysis: Compared the Detailed Design CAD model with the As-Built conditions to identify and measure deformation of the furnace walls.

Improved Inspection Accuracy: Used consistent 50 cm cross-section intervals throughout the furnace height, providing a structured method for deformation detection and analysis.

By delivering an accurate As-Built 3D CAD model of the furnace, we provided VPC GROUP with reliable digital data for detailed deformation inspection and engineering assessment. The comparison between the Detailed Design and As-Built models provided a clear representation of the existing conditions and a reliable foundation for future maintenance planning, inspections, and technical analysis.
