PLYMOUTH, MI- GKS Marine Services, a part of GKS Global Services, a worldwide provider of scanning services since 1981, offers laser scanning for marine applications. For over 25 years GKS has successfully performed laser scanning for many industries, including petrochemical, construction, power generation, auto, aerospace, and manufacturing companies, and is now offering specialized experience in marine applications. 3D scanning for marine applications, also called long-range scanning, is a ground-based technique for collecting high-density 3D data to create digital models of complex entities such as seagoing vessels, offshore platforms, ships’ systems, vintage boats, and other big structures and locations, both inside and out.
3D laser scanning looks to be one of the most promising new technologies for solving the complex problems inherent in the boatbuilding, marine engineering, and naval architecture fields. GKS can perform on-site 3D scanning of objects that are virtually unlimited in size. The company’s experience in performing marine scans includes scans used for hull surface modeling, updating and retrofitting ships’ systems and parts, digitally documenting engine rooms and other structures for which there is no digital data, as well as calculating volumes of fuel tanks, and modeling entire off-shore oil platforms. GKS has demonstrated that no project is too large or complex for their experts to handle.
Many marine vessels and offshore platforms in service today do not have digital documentation or CAD models, so when they are due for any kind of refurbishing, the process is hit-or-miss as to whether new parts will fit and function correctly. Long-range laser scanning’s true-to-life modeling results offer marine engineers a way to ensure their vessels and platforms are updated correctly and safely the first time, saving them time and money.
Using the highly accurate 3D scan data generated with long-range laser scanning, GKS engineers and designers create CAD models and as-built documentation of actual site conditions. GKS’s end customers obtain highly accurate data in the most useful format for marine design, reverse engineering, inspection, and documentation applications.
