3D Scanning Precision: Tackling Critical Structural Challenges in Silo Upgrade and Foundation Design
Leveraging 3D scanning technology to deliver precise structural assessments
We supported one of our mining clients to upgrade their silo system and improve site accessibility for larger haul trucks. To achieve this, the project required modifications to the silo’s structural system, including raising the horizontal cross bracing.
Our team delivered structural engineering and design services to evaluate these changes, ensuring the system remained safe, code-compliant, and structurally sound.
Using a 3D point cloud scan, we developed an accurate as-built model, performed a full structural analysis with bearing capacity calculations, and designed foundation improvement modifications.
