3D scanning & engineering for naval

Naval 3D scanning surveys the real geometry of a hull, a structure or onboard equipment to reconstruct drawings, inspect or prepare works — including in dry dock. Hulls without up-to-date drawings, stability calculations to redo, renovation to prepare: we survey the existing asset and return it as reliable 3D.

Your challenges

Hulls and structures whose original drawings have been lost or no longer reflect the successive modifications
Stability calculations to update on old or converted vessels
Hull renovation works to prepare on reliable data
Onboard equipment and engine holds with difficult access

Real-world cases

Engine hold of the three-masted Belem

Commissioned by the Belem Foundation, we scanned and reconstructed in 3D the structure of the engine hold of the Belem — the last great French commercial sailing ship of the 19th century, listed as a historic monument — ahead of the hull renovation works. The 3D model accounts for the successive modifications and confirms the dimensions: a reliable basis for preparing the works efficiently.

Schooner Le Gallant — stability calculations

For the Blue Schooner Company, we 3D-scanned the schooner Le Gallant (built in 1916) with a view to updating the vessel's stability calculations.
