Partnership: Sweco Finland and SolidComp
Challenge: Meeting the Growing Demand for Accurate Scanning Data
In 2016, Sweco Finland identified a need to enhance its laser scanning capacity to support its industrial client projects. This requirement was especially critical for modernisation initiatives where existing factory models can be insufficient for precise planning. Traditional methods of taking measurements manually were time-consuming and inefficient, with a risk of delays and increased costs.
Solution: Reliable and High-Quality Scanning Services
SolidComp stepped in to provide the necessary laser scanning services, delivering high-quality data that eliminated the need for repeated site visits. Their flexibility and ability to scale services ensured that Sweco could rely on them to meet project demands promptly. SolidComp’s commitment to delivering data in the required formats made it easier for Sweco to integrate the information into their design processes.
Over the years, this collaboration has resulted in hundreds of projects across various sectors, including the forest industry, mining, and refineries. SolidComp has provided a range of services such as laser scanning, mobile laser scanning, and drone-based photogrammetry, consistently meeting Sweco’s high standards for accuracy and reliability.
Recognised benefits for Sweco from partnering with SolidComp have been:
- Efficiency: Reduced need for on-site measurements, saving time and resources.
- Accuracy: High-quality data that supports precise planning and decision-making.
- Reliability: Consistent delivery of services and adherence to project timelines.
- Flexibility: Ability to scale services according to project requirements.
SolidComp’s expertise in laser scanning and commitment to quality have made them a valuable partner in supporting Sweco’s mission to deliver high-quality services to their clients.
“In equipment and piping design, the traditional method of collecting measurements with a tape measure and photographs is no longer viable. High-quality base data produced with the latest technology ensures that the project starts on the right track.
The cornerstones of our long-term collaboration are SolidComp’s reliability and cost-effectiveness. We can trust the accuracy of the measurement data and flexibility in scheduling scanning work.”
