The storage of petroleum products requires strict governance to provide accurate transactions and to ensure worker and overall terminal safety. Trimble solutions provide accurate location information to increase productivity of terminal changes and to quickly determine tank calibration. Location information also allows tanks and containment features to be structurally monitored and managed throughout their lifecycle.
Trimble is a leading provider of GPS / GNSS and Total Station positioning technology that can provide accurate dimensional control across storage terminals. Precisely locate and establish control avoid costly project delays or rework on design. Trimble technologies can also be used to capture existing site conditions and topography for environmental analysis, construction planning and retrofit/revamp projects.
Trimble 3D scanning quickly and safely captures existing conditions in readiness for retrofit and revamp projects. Accurate data prevents project delays and costly redesign caused by new designs that do not fit the existing conditions.
The quick and accurate creation of tank filling tables is essential to maximize tank efficiency and reduce downtime. Trimble provides accurate filling tables that dramatically increase productivity via 3D laser scanning technology that can measure millions of data points inside the tank. Powerful software allows filling tables to be readily generated as well as detailed inspection analysis. Trimble total station technology can also be utilized as an alternative method to 3D laser scanning or for additional measurement and layout activities.
3D laser scanning enables inspection companies to quickly collect a large amount of accurate position data, which provides rich information to visualize and analyze tanks. The data can rapidly provide information for:
