Marine

Marine vessels and offshore structures often undergo retrofits to accommodate new systems, regulatory requirements, or operational upgrades. These projects demand accurate as-built data, particularly when original drawings are outdated, incomplete, or no longer reflect the vessel's actual condition after years of operation and modifications.

Marine 3D laser scanning enables detailed capture of vessel geometry, equipment layouts, and structural elements, even in confined and complex onboard spaces. The generated point clouds form a reliable basis for retrofit design, system integration, and validation of new installations, reducing uncertainties and installation risks during shipyard execution.

Smart Design 2006 combines marine engineering knowledge with modern 3D scanning technologies to support retrofit and conversion projects across a wide range of vessel types. Our approach ensures accurate integration of new systems while respecting existing constraints, safety requirements, and operational needs.

Why Choose Smart Design?

We specialize in revolutionizing industries by delivering innovative, efficient solutions that enhance productivity and streamline processes. Through advanced technologies, precision engineering, and sustainable practices.

Site Preparation

Scanning strategy is defined, including selection of scan positions, placement of reference targets, and on-site preparation to ensure accurate data capture and efficient registration.

Laser Scanning

High-precision laser scanning is performed on site to capture the existing geometry and spatial conditions of the vessel or structure.

Scan Data Processing

Raw scan data is cleaned, filtered, and optimized to remove noise and ensure accuracy and consistency across all scans.

Point Cloud Registration & Integration

Individual scans are aligned and merged into a single, unified point cloud, providing a complete and reliable digital representation for retrofit and design activities.
