Threading The Needle

PROJECT OVERVIEW

CUB3D was tasked with assisting a client in a heavy lift operation, replacing an existing vessel in a refinery unit with a new, fully dressed 400T vessel. A controlled lift solution with precise variables was required due to the task’s complexity.

SOLUTIONS & EXECUTION

CUB3D deployed Faro laser scanners to capture detailed 3D point clouds of the existing conditions and the new vessel. This allowed for clash detection and a digital lift simulation, identifying issues and preventing potential lift failures. Adjustments were made prior to the lift to avoid clashes and highlight pinch points for the crew.

CHALLENGES & CLIENT IMPACT

Heavy load and confined space for the lift.
Restricted access to the site post-decommissioning.
The necessity to prevent clashes and ensure safety during the lift.

RESULTS & BENEFITS

Averted costly lift delays and potential safety hazards.
Optimized lift process by removing clash elements early.
Reduced project costs and downtime by ensuring a smooth operation.

CONCLUSION

CUB3D’s laser scanning expertise provided a vital solution to this complex lift, enabling better planning, safer operations, and significant cost savings.
