Lumeneye Pipeline ScannerFeb 08, 2011
The Lumeneye laser pipeline scanner is a 6000m depth rated high definition 3D rendering system specifically designed to be used in the assessment of pipeline integrity.
ROV or diver deployed, integrated laser profilers scan up to 360 degrees coverage around the pipeline circumference in a single measurement, eliminating the need to take multiple scans from different locations. The scanner delivers micron-accurate surface topographic data over an area up to 2m x 25m allowing the measurement of entire pipe sections in a single scan. The collected data is then turned into a 3D point cloud model.
3D data is recorded as a series of x,y,z coordinates in ASCII format for greatest flexibility; our clients typically continue their own investigation using our data imported into a 3rd party FEA package.
Benefits
- High speed measurement – essential in situations where installation or asset downtime is at stake.
- Simple integration to any ROV or diver-operation
- Fast and highly accurate sampling and reproduction of damaged pipelines
- Export to 3D Autocad or FEA packages for analysis
- Operation in turbid water
- 360 degree pipeline coverage, 25m scan length eliminates need for multiple scans or merging datasets
Applications
- Investigation of anchor-trawl damage
- Pipeline integrity management
- Detection of corrosion products under coatings
- Evaluation of free-span induced pipeline deformation
- Upheaval buckling, Out of Straightnesss and pipeline ovality measurement
