As-Built Documentation

Our team has expertise to provide services for large scale scanning such as ship building, process industry, steel plants, power plants, piping layouts, platforms, oil rigs, civil engineering, digital factories, and much more. We use 3D Scanning Technology to obtain Point Cloud data. The three dimensional Point Cloud that is created can be navigated, drafted, and modeled in popular CAD and other applications.

 

3D Laser Scanning

Our team are factory trained and experienced professionals specializing in 3D Scanning. We utilize top of the line scanners with sub-millimeter accuracy. A number of 3D Scans are combines in a Point Cloud and represent the exact geometrical detailed of the surrounding objects. From a Point Cloud the designers develop a model of the machinery, plant, piping, structure, equipment for the concept design, basic, detailed and as-built engineering.

 

Laser Track Measurement

Using Laser Track our team offers our clients an unmatched range of measurements. The laser track uses CAM2/Measure X measurements software that enables CAD based analysis. 

Engineering Drafting

The 3D laser scan data is an irreplaceable tool in developing engineering design packages. Our designers combine the processed scan data, 3D models, existing arrangements, engineering design, and client requirements to create the required engineering deliverables: Conversion Specifications, Plans, and Detailed Fabrication drawings.

 

Reverse Engineering

Albion Marine Solutions offers reverse engineering services which include drawings of the physical object. Our high technology software enables us to apply manufacturing skills, functional skills, and knowledge to deliver product model and quality drawings.

Forensic

3D scanning of a crime scene prior to evidence collection is an important part of documentation. The use of 3D scanning technology allows investigators to preserve a permanent digital copy of a scene that can be viewed virtually. Police and insurance companies can use 3D scanning to take measurements, inspect evidence, and much more. A 3D scanner works smoother and faster than photography at a crime scene, providing critically important data.

Construction 

From the design stage to the inspection stage, 3D scanning and measurement is an integral element of architecture, engineering and construction. For contractors, laser scanning lowers risk by ensuring  complete and accurate as-built drawings and  exposing any inaccuracies early in the process.

Mining 

Our scanning services provide civil engineering and construction firms representations of mines and mining machinery. Accurate as-built documentation helps engineers determine measurements, and ensure standards for safety. 3D Laser Scan is designed to measure and monitor the stability of rock faces and slopes to improve safety. This provides an early warning of movement and therefore potential failures in the active mining area that may impact on production, cause damage to equipment or even cause injury to personnel. From the design stage to the inspection stage, 3D scanning is an integral element of architecture, engineering, and construction applications.

Oil & Gas 

Our team provides 3D laser scanning services in oil and gas applications to produce reliable and high quality data. Laser Scanning is safe, accurate and fast. Our team members accurately and efficiently capture data in locations where accessibility is difficult and areas are unsafe. 3D Scan provides reliable, accurate as-built information for facility upgrades and expansions.

 ALBION ZERO - TRUE ZERO EMISSION FERRY

Albion Marine is proud to be on the front lines of new electric and hybrid propulsion technologies for existing fleets and new builds. It is already a few years since we have completed a concept design for an actual zero-emission cable ferry- Albion Zero. The concept utilizes solar power and the power of river streams to generate sufficient charge for ferry operation. The ferry carries eight vehicles or two large trucks and capable of operating in shallow waters. The vessel does not need an electric grid, and it does not utilize engines during the regular process.

Director of Albion Marine Mr. Yakovenko says: “It is an elegant engineering concept specifically designed for a river crossing in remote Northern location with limited or non-existing infrastructure. Our modular design makes it suitable for a large range of ferry designs. The conversion payback period only a few years”.

The main aim of any maintenance plan on a ship is to get the maintenance and repair work done in the least possible time at minimum costs. Our team prepares a maintenance plan to ensure that the machinery aboard a vessel maintains required standards of operation and safety.

A maintenance plan constitutes an imperative element of a ship’s routine operations and is an integral component of the vessel’s maintenance mechanisms. In establishing a maintenance plan, several aspects should be taken into consideration, starting with the International Safety Management (ISM) code to the specifications and guidelines issued by the manufacturers of the machinery.

In developing each vessel’s maintenance plan, Albion Marine Solutions takes into consideration:

• International Safety Management (ISM) code requirements

• Manufacturer-issued specifications and guidelines

• Equipment history (including previous defects, failures, damage, and remedial actions)

• A vessel’s age

• Critical equipment and systems

• Maintenance intervals

• Possible consequences of failed or failing equipment on the vessel’s safe operation

 

A systematic procedure is established that forms an integral part of a ship’s planned maintenance system. For inspection purpose, checklists are often used to ensure that the inspection, test, and maintenance are each performed according to the ISM code requirements, manufacturer guidelines and the client’s specifications.

Albion Marine has a worldwide network offering a wide range of engineering and technical services to  ensure prompt response in various locations.
