In May we made a scan of the “Biała Góra” sand mine. It is the largest deposit of quartz sands exploited in Europe. The raw materials found in the gravel pit in Biała Góra were created about 120 million years ago, and its deposits account for nearly 80 percent domestic resources of sands and molding sands and filtering gravels.
Huge steel structure, stretching over the gravel heaps, did not have the current technical documentation, which is necessary to modernize object or to design new elements. Thanks to the fast and precise measurement of the laser scanner, there was no need to stop the work of the gravel pit, which minimized the costs. The giant object was measured in a few days. 285 scans were performed. The point cloud enabled 3D models to be made, which are the right attitude in the process of modernizing existing structures and designing new ones. A WebShare visualization was also created, which makes it possible to inspect the gravel pit anywhere and at any time.
Scan area: 44 220 m2
Benefits:
- comprehensive measurement done in a short time;
- equipment resistance to difficult working conditions;
- no need to stop work on the site of the gravel pit for measurements;
- verification of selected design solutions;
- unlimited possibilities of working with a 3D model;
- WebShare facilitating remote viewing and analyzing of data.
