The amount of information you have on your port’s assets or operations is almost unlimited. There are drawings of buildings and quays, technical information of equipment or lists of previous maintenance operations. Everything can’t or at least shouldn’t be digitised -the first step is to prioritise the asset data. Outdated drawings might not be the ones to be saved but do an as-built scanning instead and save the data of the actual structure. Continue reading…

Why to choose the company offering the whole 3D survey service chain? You can read dozens of client stories from our website, but in this article, we’ll summarize few of the benefits of 3D surveys by VRT. Continue reading…
