3D laser scanning becomes especially useful when requiring reliable and accurate data gathering. Such information is highly necessary for the integrity evaluation and fitness for service assessment of critical piece of equipment, pipes or systems in services which show defects, degradation (verticality loss, dents, permanent deformations, thickness loss, etc.) or whose original design information is simply not available.
Likewise, in those cases when the objective is to identify and determine possible failure causes in critical assets (breakage, cracks appearance and propagation, plastic deformation, etc.), the accurate and strict physical characterization of these elements becomes strictly required to conduct root cause analysis and research studies by using numerical simulation models.
