About The Customer
BLOM Maritime, based in Norway, is a member of the TECO Maritime Group of Companies. The company offers 3D laser scanning, 360° HD panoramic images, metrology, and engineering services to companies around the world, especially in the marine sector. BLOM employs 20 engineers in Poland and its entire network of subsidiaries and strategic business partners employs more than 170 qualified personnel globally. The company has successfully completed more than 3,300 projects. BLOM Maritime uses 3D laser scanning to produce data which is used to create a point cloud, forming the basis of a 3D visualization of physical assets, ranging from petrochemical plants to oceangoing vessels.
The Challenge
BLOM Maritime, a global organization offering 3D laser scanning, metrology, and engineering services, faced several challenges. The company had to deal with large amounts of data that demanded accuracy. They also needed fast and detailed digital visualizations of physical assets. The company aimed to increase collaboration, incorporate parameterized design, integrate engineering and design, improve efficiency, and reduce design time. However, the vast amount of laser-scanned data posed a challenge on how to exploit it to provide an accurate and trustworthy digital asset of the physical asset scanned, which can then be used as an engineering design platform.
The Solution
To exploit the vast amount of laser-scanned data, BLOM Maritime implemented AVEVA E3D. This software allowed BLOM Maritime to integrate and directly import point cloud data. The company has seen significant cost savings for clients since adopting the AVEVA E3D approach to optimize its laser scanning expertise and applying virtual design procedures using AVEVA E3D. This has been especially the case in the retrofit field where the team is confident that everything it has designed or produced, from pipe to structure to foundation, can be installed correctly using the leanest method and employing the fewest people possible. BLOM Maritime believes that there is great potential for the combined technology to be used globally in the building of new ships.
Operational Impact
  • Significant cost savings passed on to clients
  • E3D allowed BLOM Maritime to integrate and directly import point cloud data
  • Installation times cut by 25%
  • The point cloud provided an accurate representation of the current state of the project at each stage of the design
  • The combined technology can now visit any location in the world, scan the module in the state it is at that moment, and send that data digitally to an engineering hub
Quantitative Benefit
  • Reduced Bills of Material by 35%
  • Cut installation times by 25%
  • Projects required over 70,000 hours of installation work
