1. Inaccurate / Missing Data:
Much existing plant documentation is
outdated or inaccurate. Traditional
measurement methods are inconsistent
and manual. Missed measurements
result in repeated trips to the field
extending project times.
Safety / Risk Mitigation:
Climbing on equipment in
dangerous conditions for
extended periods of time places
employees at risk
Capital Project Budgeting:
Traditional survey requires more
man-power on-site for longer
times. During turnaround this
results in longer plant shut-down.
