从激光扫描仪到实时的办公室

为了安全可靠地将天然气移至最终消费者，荷兰拥有高质量的天然气运输网络。对于不受干扰的气体输送，网络始终处于良好状态非常重要。因此，欧洲传输系统运营商Gasunie在荷兰和德国北部提供天然和绿色天然气的运输，他向主要天然气运输网络和区域天然气运输网络进行日常管理和维护工作。

The network in the Netherlands includes:

• 12,500 kilometres of pipeline
• 3,000 valve schedules
• 80 measuring and control stations
• 1,000 gas receiving stations
• 13 compressor stations.

During the execution of maintenance and replacements, the delivery of gas to end customers continues. It is, therefore, a challenge to cause as little inconvenience as possible. For this reason, Gasunie first makes a detailed design of the pipes. Based on the design, the new components are prefabricated, so that the installation work in the field takes as little time as possible.

Gasunie结合了多个Leica GeoSystems解决方案，这些解决方案使激光扫描数据直接从现场到客户和分包商，现在可以通过重新设计的Leica HDS工作流程节省时间和金钱。在整合Leica Geosystems解决方案之前，提供了很长时间的时间花费了很长时间 - 现在，在24小时内准备好了一个精确的AS构建模型。

混合和匹配解决方案

To accelerate and improve the overall process, a pilot has been conducted in combination with Advin advisory and engineering firm using 3D laser scanning. The working process has been reviewed and innovative steps have been taken in the data processing by using Leica JetStream software for simplified point cloud access and ultra-high speed rendering.

After the design, prefabrication and transport of the parts, the new installation is assembled on site. This installation is checked using a Leica Viva GS16 GNSS Smart Antenna and a Leica Nova MS60 MultiStation linked to a CS35 tablet computer with Leica Captivate software. Inside the Captivate software, the Inspect Surface app looks at whether there are deviations between model and as-built situation and will determine whether the new situation meets the requirements of Gasunie.

The entire installation is mapped either with the MultiStation or with a Leica ScanStation P40. This measurement is processed and checked in the field and uploaded directly to JetStream server via a mobile 4G connection on the CS35.

“The system Leica Geosystems has developed fits optimally to optimise our workflows. From the design to the final stage of a construction, this method of working reduces time and, therefore, saves money. In particular, the saved point cloud as asset information during the construction phase may become useful many years later. We are furthermore capable to scan brownfield assets and transform this to real 3D-asset information with new (future) functionality,” said Sijbrand Stratingh, senior pipeline engineer at Gasunie.

Benefiting from the industry - leading point cloud project server

Jetstream Server的使用具有许多重要的优势。数据在云中集中可用，因此所涉及的工程师可以直接访问数据。由于点云可在线获得，因此Gasunie还可以通过Truview Global和/或Jetstream Viewer直接访问此数据。然后，该公司可以使用点云进行讨论，并在需要时做出更好的明智决定。

The smart point cloud technology in JetStream allows data to be viewed and used without delay via an online connection without missing any detail. There is only one version of the point cloud and, therefore, only one backup has to be made. Unnecessary copies belong to the past.

选定的选择必须正确

Thanks to Leica Geosystems combined solutions, the 3D design generated with the point cloud can seamlessly be adapted to the as-built situation. Gasunie no longer has any need to create a completely new as-built drawing from scratch. An update of the 3D-model is sufficient.

“We always strive to work with state-of-the-art hardware and software that can provide the best solution to our customer. The choice for Leica Geosystems, a reliable supplier of highend equipment, was a clear one. When we really have a problem, Leica Geosystems immediately provides a solution,” said Jeffrey den Ridder, surveyor at Advin. “After measuring the project, the excavated pit is replenished immediately with soil. The measurement must therefore be carried out as efficiently as possible and there is certainly no time for delays caused by defective equipment or technical failures.”

After completing these first tests, Gasunie is very positive about the workflow through 3D laser scanning and instant online sharing of data through Jetstream in the cloud with Autodesk® AutoCAD® Plant 3D.
