LASER Scanning Benefits Safety: Less people on site for less time! Prevent people from trying to get measurements in high or difficult places Accuracy Laser scanners are highly accurate Capture millions of measurement points quickly LASER Scanning Cost Benefits Quotes given by major EPC: On one $100 million project $1,000,000 saved by reduce field rework $ 900,000 saved maximizing work-share $ 400,000 saved by reduced field visits Project duration reduced by 10% Scaleable One owner/operator has reported justifying laser scanning on as low $1,000,000 construction job. Only $18k in cost creep Another has stated that even on a $10 million project, travel costs savings alone paid for laser scanning services But Laser scanning is only as accurate as the control network that it is based on Master control out of control? Control effects all projects, no matter size Project is only as accurate as the control Most projects are highly dependent on accurate dimensional control Plant usually constructed using multiple grid systems based on projects and project areas GPS master control network can integrate with and support multiple grid systems, while having them all tied to the master GPS network 5

What is corrected GPS? GPS 8
Benefits of Using Corrected GPS For greenfield large retrofits/additions, use machine control for site prep and grading Avoids use of survey team and staking Benefits of Using Corrected GPS Get quick measurements (approx. 1cm accuracy) using a Trimble Rover Locate forms, columns, etc. Locate stakes where necessary [probably not as helpful in existing plants due to satellite issues] Update and/or create survey grade benchmarks Easily updated and verified Benefits of Using Corrected GPS Easily deploy total stations/spatial imagers/laser scanners from benchmarks established with GPS Use to locate tie points, anchor bolts, etc. Compare as-built to as-designed Use to monitor and validate construction progress Benefits of Using Corrected GPS One master control grid based on GPS allows for multiple project grids to be integrated easily and accurately. Including future work 9
