Flint Hills Resources — Asphalt Cement Plant
LiDAR scanning of storage tanks and processing infrastructure at Flint Hills Resources' asphalt cement plant for facility documentation.
April 2020
An asphalt cement plant in Dubuque, Iowa was replacing their MCC building. All new control cable would also be routed throughout the facility. The electrical engineering team needed accurate site information to route thousands of feet of new cable tray. Similarly, the structural team needed the information to locate and design cable tray supports.
One of our LiDAR specialists traveled to site. In 19 hours they documented the 11.5-acre facility with 421 individual laser scans. Back at the office the scans were processed, registered, and geolocated using survey control captured while scanning. Our modeling team converted the point cloud into a Revit model and developed a 2D site plan.
