3D Measurement in the Construction of Large Structures
Vantagens na utilização de Tecnologias Tridimensionais de Medição na Construção de Grandes Estruturas e Estruturas Complexas.
At Tecnimex, we are pioneers in the use of Laser Trackers in Brazil, with over 25 years of experience in 3D measurement solutions.
In this blog, you’ll find the key differences between conventional measurement technologies and three-dimensional (3D) systems:
Speed
- 3D Measurement Technologies:
– Measurement of all three axes: leveling, vertical alignment, horizontal alignment, and shape deviation are all captured simultaneously and in real time.
- Conventional Methods:
– Use of different instruments to verify leveling and lateral alignment.
– Deviations are calculated manually.
Accuracy:
- 3D Measurement Technologies:
– Higher accuracy
– Instruments do not rely on the surveyor’s visual ability or on the steadiness of an assistant holding a measuring rod or scale.
- Conventional Methods:
– Lower accuracy
– Precision depends on the surveyor’s eyesight, lighting conditions, and the skill of the assistant holding the measurement tools.
Clearer and More Complete Measurements & Reports
- 3D Measurement Technologies:
– Data is calculated automatically using advanced 3D measurement software.
– Outputs include diameters, distances, angles, form deviations (cylindricity, flatness, etc.) and positional errors(concentricity, runout, parallelism, etc.).
– Information is easy to interpret and stored digitally for future reference, analysis, and traceability.
- Conventional Methods:
– Limited to level and vertical deviation, plus some basic distance measurements.
– Reports are often handwritten in the field, with manual sketches or tables based on on-site notes.
When hiring a company for 3D measurements using Laser Trackers, make sure to verify their actual technical capability.
At Tecnimex Group, we offer cutting-edge 3D metrology solutions designed for demanding industrial and construction environments.
