This patent pending technology was developed to service the dry dock industry by eliminating uncertainty in drydocking.
Why 3D Scanning? Docking feasibility can be accurately determined with 3D modeling after a 3D scan. Unknown projections and hull openings pose a risk to drydocking; damaging the vessel or dry dock. Our 3D scanning solution can verify locations of all projections and hull openings and check for interferences in your blocking plan. Unknown hydrostatics create an uncertainty of ship stability. When drydocking a vessel, especially when using hauling blocks, it is crucial to understand the initial stability of the vessel and draft at instability to prevent the vessel from becoming unstable. Reduced uncertainty and risk for any vessel drydocking.
How it works DM Consulting will bring divers to scan a vessel in water. We will process the information and develop the following information for your drydocking:
Drydocking Feasibility Report
Hydrostatic Curves
Docking Plan Modifications with Projection/Hull Opening Interferences
Standard Drydocking Calculations (loading, stability, clearances and more)
What we can do Our technology is scalable and customizable for your needs. Prices vary for vessel size and location. For diver safety, good underwater visibility and vessel cooperation is required.
This service is recommended for:
Any dry dock facility with uncertainty about a drydocking
Vessel owners who want to insure a safe drydocking
