LASER DIMENSION INSPECTION IN QATAR
EIWAA Marine Services offers advanced 3D laser tracker dimensional control systems for accurate measurements, alignment surveys, as-built drawing preparations, and other applications in FPSOs, offshore platforms, yachts, ships, and shipyards. Our dimensional specialists can use advanced portable-type laser tracker measurements to measure large, heavy components with millimeter accuracy. For offshore shipbuilding in Qatar, we are a leading provider of laser tracker alignment and inspection services. Our dimensional measuring capabilities include 3D data overlay, instantaneous on-site alignment verification, and high-accuracy dimensional measurements in shipbuilding and offshore construction.We can perform various welding qualification and welder testing services in Qatar to verify that the welder or welding operator can make sound quality welds. We provide ABS Approved welding procedures for welding compliance with the American Welding Society (AWS), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and BS EN Standards related to the welding engineering practices.
Our laser tracker alignment and its dimensional inspection services decreased crane time by gathering measurements in shipyards without cranes. Real-time feedback enables digital documentation for comprehensive as-built dimensions reports and rapid deviation reporting for quicker decisions in shipbuilding and drydocking facilities, FPSOs and offshore rigs, shipbuilding and ship repair, subsea structures and pipelines, etc. For high accuracy and tight tolerance inspection in shipyards and maritime settings, our laser tracker inspection services are the greatest choice. Our as-built geometry 3D visualization and exceptional accuracy of up to +/-0.025 mm make them ideal for onshore and offshore settings. Some the essential alignment surveying services we provide as-built are the following:
- Pre-Cut and Fit-Up of Ship Unit: Our dimensions ship survey specialists will perform a precise fit alignment both before and after assembling marine equipment onboard, reducing crane handling time and reworks.
- Alignment survey: Our dimensions experts establish centerline benchmarks for the main shaft, axles, bearings, and propulsion system using precise 3-axis alignments.
- Levelling Survey: Instead of using the traditional leveling tools of total stations and 3D scanners, we are using laser trackers to align machinery foundations, engines, winches, pumps, and crane booms with submillimeter alignment accuracy.
- Nuclear and critical components survey: To evaluate and verify as-built conditions before piping systems, pressure-retaining parts, and nuclear reactor vessels are installed.
- Hull Alignment Survey: Hull geometry and orientation are verified in three dimensions to ensure correct pitch, hull, and yaw angles prior to welding and manufacture.
- Offshore platform alignment survey: We provide alignment support for topside module integration, turret alignment, and flare tower installation in FPSOs and offshore platforms.
SHIP BUILDING ALIGNMENT SURVEY IN QATAR
Laser trackers are essential for dimensional metrology applications in the shipbuilding industry’s machining and assembly procedures. The primary benefit of using trackers in shipbuilding is increased productivity and crane time value. According to the drydocked ship unit to which it would be installed, the crane was used to hold a manufactured item or ship unit in place for a maximum of one or two days. The portion was then removed from the crane, brought back to the shop, and, if more work was required, the procedure was redone.
A laser tracker can now be used in the shop to measure these integrated parts. The same tracker can then be used to measure the drydocked ship at the yard. Software can obtain the best-fit alignment for the as-built components by integrating the data from the two measurements. Rework can be finished in the shop, saving crucial time for the final welding assembly on the crane. Several surveying and alignment applications for laser trackers that are now widely used in the shipbuilding industry are listed below. The benefits of the laser tracker are its portability, simplicity of use, ability to measure both short and long distances, precise measurement data, and instantaneous measurement feedback that enables real-time modifications.
