FPSO Revamp for a Major Oil Company

A major oil company was revamping an FPSO (floating production, storage and off-take) to increase its production capacity.  The FPSO lacked current and accurate existing conditions documentation.  Using traditional survey techniques to document an FPSO is difficult or impossible because it is continuously moving due to waves and ballast conditions.  As a technology company, Quantapoint created a novel solution that enabled laser scanning to be used to "digitize" the FPSO without relying on traditional survey.  Quantapoint was able to deliver a digitized FPSO in the vessel’s coordinate system, including photo-realistic, interactive and dimensionally complete 2D laser scans and 3D laser models.  This provided more comprehensive and accurate information for design, fabrication and construction decisions.

Laser Scanning Helps Meet NRC Safety Accessment Mandate

GSI-191 Compliance - Power EngineeringAn actual laser scan of a hatch (not a picture) - Users can extract precise measurements, pipe information and other data directly.

A 3-D laser measurement and imaging technology used for years in fossil and nuclear plants could be an effective means to assess the ability of emergency core cooling systems to provide long-term core cooling in the event of a loss of cooling accident in pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear plants.

Based on a risk assessment program that began in 1998, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued General Safety Issue 191 (GSI-191) requiring nuclear power plant operators to asses the impact on PWR sump performance posed by potential debris accumulation and determine precisely how much debris could accumulate...
