"Carving as-built plans with a Laser Cannon" Bentley Systems, Incorporated

<< Obtaining as-built plant information is always challenging-and sometimes dangerous. Detroit Edison and its subcontractors Raytheon and DB Riley are using MicroStation and the Cyrax 3D laser scanner to automate the task in a revolutionary way. The task Detroit Edison assigned to Raytheon and DB Riley was daunting: Create as-built plans as the first stage of a major redesign of the Monroe Power Plant in southwest Michigan. The engineering team proposed a novel solution. They chose to use the Cyrax 3D laser scanning systems from Cyra Technologies to create the as-built plans, avoiding much of the dangerous task of physically measuring the plant. The plan worked. Raytheon was able to rapidly create a precise as-built 3D model of the existing plant using 3D data obtained from the Cyrax scanner, ported to MicroStation. Using the Cyrax system, engineers cut down on design time dramatically and reduced the risk of construction errors by obtaining exact measurements without manual data entry. >>
