3D LASER SCANNING
JAD Engineering’s 3D laser scanning technology enhances engineering by capturing precise, high-resolution spatial data for design, construction, and analysis. Our advanced scanning systems generate highly detailed point clouds, which can be seamlessly imported into various software platforms for further analysis and application.
Our expertise includes but is not limited to the following: ​
-
Generating accurate, up-to date data of existing structures, industrial facilities or architectural spaces to produce as-built documentation.​
-
Inspection and maintenance activities by monitoring wear, damage or changes in assets for effective maintenance planning.​
-
Identifying structural issues, deformations or inconsistencies in structures, buildings or equipment.​
-
Digitally preserving historical monuments, artifacts, or sites with detailed and accurate 3D representations.
CIVIL & STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
JAD offers a full civil and structural design suite for greenfield projects or additions to existing structures. Our scope ranges from pump stations and sump pits to warehouses and conveyor gantries. 3D scanning of existing structures allows us to compile comprehensive models and design reports to ensure the integrity of the design.
Our expertise includes but is not limited to the following:
-
New plant structures and modifications to existing plant structures, are well within our capabilities.
-
Design of new conveyor and crane gantries, as well as analysis of existing structures for additional walkways, maintenance platforms, and equipment.
-
Plant accesses platforms and staircase designs to ensure access to all plant equipment for maintenance and inspection activities.
-
Warehouse and factory design, including plant optimisation and debottlenecking studies, allowing maximum efficiency
-
Design of all the necessary slabs and plinths for all structural and mechanical members of a plant, complete with rebar detailing.
-
Office buildings with detailed 3D models for complete visualization of the office space.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
