High Detail Ship Pipeline 3D Scan

I need a high-resolution 3D scan of an entire shipboard pipeline so I can carry out a thorough damage assessment. Every run, elbow, flange, valve, and connection from bow to stern must be captured with sufficient fidelity to let me zoom in and measure hairline corrosion or deformation afterwards.

Accuracy and detail: sub-millimetre precision (±1 mm or better) is essential. Please deploy whichever method suits—laser/LiDAR, structured light, photogrammetry—so long as the raw point cloud is dense enough to generate a clean mesh and highlight surface defects. The final files have to open flawlessly in industry-standard software such as AutoCAD Plant 3D, Navisworks, or CloudCompare.

Typical deliverables
• Raw point cloud (E57 or LAS)
• Cleaned, registered mesh (OBJ or STL)
• Colour-mapped damage report (PDF with screenshots and annotations)
• Simple viewer export (e.g., Navisworks NWD or online WebGL) for quick stakeholder review

Acceptance criteria
• Entire pipeline scanned—no blind spots behind insulation or supports.
• Surface noise filtered without erasing pitting or cracks.
• Coordinate system tied to vessel drawings so I can overlay results directly.

Schedule is flexible within reason, but please outline your proposed scanning timeframe, hardware, and sample output from a past marine job when you reply.
