the steel fabrication workflow.

Companies that start using scanning on-site report these benefits:
Revenue, cost & time
• Dramatic reduction of on-site costs
• Increased productivity on-site – surveys that had taken several
man hours or even days were now taking a matter of minutes
• Option for clients to have an exact 3D model of their works and a
very detailed operation and maintenance manual
Technical benefits
• Easy clash detection – surveyor simply runs the clash detection
option in FieldLink on-site or in the workshop
• Ability to detect errors on the point cloud and adjust the design
accordingly in the office rather than discovering the error on site
• Reduction of risk – as-built checks are carried out on-site to
check for discrepancies or errors in the steel frames/other
subcontractor works.
People & Teams, Communication
• Excellent visual representation of a project for those in the office
• Ability to use the same point cloud to answer new questions with
no return to site required
