Service: CAD Model from Point Cloud Data, Inspection for Wall Deformation
Location: KEK Kosovo
Time: March 2021 - May 2021

Project Overview

Description:

We processed parametric data obtained from point cloud scans to create an accurate and optimized 3D CAD model for deformation inspection purposes. The project focused on analyzing wall deformations of a 65-meter high furnace using the SOLIDWORKS software solution.

Scope of Work:

1.Point Cloud Data Processing:

Collected parametric data through comprehensive point cloud scanning.
Converted the point cloud data into a parametric 3D CAD model optimized for SOLIDWORKS.

2.Model Accuracy and Deformation Inspection:

Ensured high precision with the point cloud data representing the real situation within a tolerance of ±1mm and the 3D CAD model having a tolerance of ±5mm.
Conducted an accuracy inspection by comparing cross-sections at 50cm intervals throughout the height of the 65m furnace.
Performed deformation analysis by comparing the CAD model of the Detailed Design against the AS-Built CAD model derived from the scanned data.
Ensured the deformation inspection accuracy at every 50cm cross-section interval to detect and analyze any discrepancies.

Key Outcomes

High-Precision Model: Developed a highly accurate 3D CAD model with minimal deviations, ensuring reliable data for further analysis.
Detailed Deformation Analysis: Provided a comprehensive comparison between the detailed design and the as built conditions, highlighting any deformations with precise measurements.
Enhanced Inspection Accuracy: Ensured thorough inspection and analysis by maintaining consistent cross section intervals, allowing for precise deformation detection.

By delivering a detailed and accurate digital twin of the furnace, we enabled VPC GROUP to conduct precise deformation inspections, ensuring structural integrity and informed decision-making for maintenance and improvements. This approach not only improved the reliability of the inspection process but also provided a robust tool for ongoing monitoring and analysis.
