Tank volume analysis

Post by dds0803 »

FARO BuildIT Construction users can calculate the fill volume for tanks or vessels from scan data and then automatically create and export a report of the volume per height. Check out all the capabilities this software and another great function is the FARO BuildIT team can help build automation routines/macros for custom processes or to just simplify the UI for when you only need to do repetitive work.

Just wanted to add that I've ran this for workflows like grain silos or wastewater tanks as well. Wide variety of use cases for this!

The licensing for BuildIT Construction is actually subscription based but currently has only a 1 year subscription option. I am sure FARO will get more creative with pricing in the future. Most clients will find at least 1 project that will pay for BuildIT whether for 4D analysis, scan vs BIM, tanks, floor flatnesss reporting, laser projection with Tracer, etc. I believe the closest competing tank specific product in the industry is MUCH more expensive. Anyway, we love the feedback either way. Give it a go and let us know

FARO BuildIT Construction is subscription based and we have a 1 and 3 year subscription option. I hope you will reach out to your local FARO contact and let them assist you with getting a trial for evaluation and some pricing options.

If you go to the FARO knowledge base you can find a step by step tutorial as well as downloadable data sets

The example from the website looks like a horizontal vessel. The AsBuilt/PointSense tools only work with vertical vessels. PM me or send me an email and i will have one of our engineers get you a vertical tank for testing in As-Built. You could use the same for BuildIT.

This looks like a flaw to me. Why does this only works with vertical vessels?
