Severn Project Services specialises in mechanical design and project engineering, operating mainly in the Oil, Gas and Nuclear Power Generation markets, with particular expertise in flow control technologies.
Quantapoint adds to the Severn Project Services capabilities by digitising facilities using their patented laser scanning technology and providing visualisation software to access the digitised facility in CAD.
Quantapoint then provides analysis, quality control and decision support services to eliminate potential errors from across the project lifecycle.
It is this combination of laser scanning technology and services that helps clients achieve Zero-Defect Projects.
"Companies that are currently laser scanning in the UK produce 'point clouds', whose sparse measurements make it difficult to clearly visualise the project and thus they are more likely to miss important design details.
We provide Laser Models, which integrate laser data to create high-definition solid 'models' of the facility that are visually clear and include fine details," commented James McGill, Vice President of Marketing, Quantapoint: "Laser Models can be accessed within packages such as AutoCAD, PDMS, PDS and SmartPlant Review and have helped companies increase their design efficiency by 60 per cent and decrease design clashes by 85 per cent".
Added Colin Findlay, director, Severn Project Services: "Quantapoint are well known within the oil and gas market for industry-leading laser scanning technology and services.
By eliminating project defects such as clashes, clients have beaten project schedules and budgets by 15 per cent or more, with a greater than 1,000 per cent return on investment.
We are sure that this collaboration will herald significant results, particularly for clients in the North Sea arena, in 2008".
