Trimble’s 3D Laser Scanning and Modeling Offers a New Way to Conduct Storage Tank Inspection in the Oil and Gas Industry

AUSTIN, Texas – To ensure the most accurate representation of their tank assets and to detect tilt, differential settlement, and deformation, storage tank inspectors and surveyors are now using 3D laser scanning technologies to quickly capture and generate high-quality, accurate information. Industry-leading Trimble offers a tank inspection solution with the Trimble® TX8 3D laser scanner and an enhanced workflow in the Trimble RealWorks® – Advanced Tank software, which increases productivity, reduce costs and offers better safety for oil and gas companies.

The Trimble TX8 3D laser scanner delivers the accuracy, point density and scanning range oil and gas professionals need to reliably capture data in demanding work environments. Enhanced, extended-range functionality streamlines the traditional two-stage scanning workflow into a single, faster operation to collect more data with fewer instrument setups. The TX8 also has a new high-quality scanning mode that provides data accurate to 1mm to support precise tank measurement, facilities rework and fabrication projects.

The Trimble RealWorks Advanced-Tank Edition provides simple guided workflows to perform thorough tank inspections and automatically produce detailed reports according to API 653 Standard guidelines. New automated modeling tools improve tank and facilities operations by producing accurate data to make informed decisions and reduce downtime. The combination of the Trimble TX8 and Trimble RealWorks software can save field and office time, improve worker safety and provide superior deliverables.

Martin Instrument, the premier Trimble dealer, provides onsite demonstrations of the TX8 Laser Scanner and Trimble RealWorks in Texas and Oklahoma. Call 512-282-4099, visit www.martininstrument.com or email [email protected] to schedule your demo.
