3D Laser Scanning and Engineering ServicesAlbion Marine Solutions Ltd. provides 3D laser scanning, 3D modeling, design and drafting services with the related industrial engineering applications to the maritime, offshore, construction, and oil and gas sectors. Every scan precisely locates/positions millions of data points within a given space. The 3D point cloud that is established can be navigated, drafted, and modelled in commonly used computer assisted drafting (CAD) and other software applications. The numerous possible uses for the point cloud include site survey data, damage investigation reports, conversion/retrofit plans, reverse engineering steps, conceptual designs and detailed engineering. These digital surveys capture and deliver the complex shapes and geometry of vessel hulls. The 3D laser scanning can be done to determine the definition of possible hull deflections, as well as to inspect every stage of a construction/assembling process to verify the robustness of any deviations from the original design. Lasers scanners can survey complex surfaces that would otherwise be unapproachable, including damaged/destroyed areas for insurance claim and redesign purposes.

3D Laser ScanningOur team consists of manufacturer-trained, experienced professionals specializing in 3D scanning with top-of-the-line scanners having sub-millimetre accuracy. A number of 3D scans are combined in a point cloud to represent the exact geometrical detail about surrounding objects. From a point cloud, the designers can develop a model of a structure and/or plant, its machinery, piping, and equipment for Concept Design – Basic, Detailed, and As-Built Engineering. |
3D ModellingOur designers use the latest CAD software to prepare 3D concept models and detailed fabrication drawings for ship conversions and plant upgrades, including: custom part and assembly modeling, prototype design, complex construction design, structural layouts, and machinery. |
|
Plot PlansThe laser scans of the plant and/or structure, machinery, electrical cabling, and piping systems are extracted from the point cloud to create isometric drawings. Our designers use AutoCAD software to create these plot plan drawings. |
Vessel Hull LinesOur designers use the latest 3D CAD software to prepare 3D concept models and detailed fabrication drawings for ship conversions and plant upgrades, including custom part and assembly modeling, prototype design, complex construction design, structural layouts, and machinery. The unified and dense point cloud provides the proper initial spatial information for the extraction of any kind of deliverables from naval lines (e.g., waterlines, buttocks and sections) to a 3D reconstructed ship geometry (modeling) in any compatible CAD format.

Vessel Retrofits Detailed DesignWe use 3D modeling to develop an engineering design package and conversion specifications. Engineers prepare detailed machinery, steel work, pipe piece design and layout that includes: - A materials checklist
- Complete documentation to satisfy Class specifications and applicable regulations.
- Yard specifications |
Offshore ConversionThe 3D scanning and modeling are valuable tools in complex, multidisciplinary projects where precise cut out and fitment of new offshore equipment is a common scope of work. Albion Marine Solution’s team has extensive project experience in offshore conversions and new builds, including: FSO, FPSO, FSRU, shuttles, oil rigs and platforms. |
Damage Assessment and SurveyAlbion Marine uses 3D scanning and modeling for a damage survey of a vessel’s hull and machinery. The sophisticated 3D technology helps to capture accurate data, including changes in hull geometry and the disposition of damaged elements. In conjunction with a survey conducted by our experienced surveyors, 3D scanning and modeling provide concerned parties with the information required for investigations and efficient remedial action. |
