WEST COAST TERMINAL EXPANSION
PROJECT OVERVIEW
NAVIGATING COMPLEXITY: ZERO DOWNTIME.
The Challenge: Retrofitting modern infrastructure into a 50-year-old active facility presents unique risks. The client needed to install twelve new storage tanks and distribution lines within a congested site, all without disrupting daily facility operations or compromising safety.
The Solution: Integrity Geomatics deployed a hybrid workflow of 3D Terrestrial Laser Scanning and conventional high-precision survey. By creating a millimeter-accurate ‘Digital Twin’ of the existing plant before design began, we allowed the engineering team to pre-fabricate spools with confidence. We identified over 40 potential clashes before construction started, saving weeks of field rework
PRECISION FABRICATION & SEAMLESS TIE-INS.
The density of existing infrastructure shown above made traditional manual field measurements nearly impossible and highly risky. Our 3D laser scanning data provided the engineering team with absolute spatial certainty of every flange, bolt, and beam.
This “Digital Twin” reality capture allowed for over 90% of the new pipe spools to be pre-fabricated offsite in a controlled environment. When delivered to the field, the critical tie-ins fit perfectly the first time—eliminating the need for hazardous field cutting and drastically reducing the installation schedule.
