en.Wedoany.com Reported - Syntec implemented a digitalization project in the province of San Juan, Argentina, generating a 3D model at LOD300 level of detail for a pipeline used to transport slurry, and introduced design improvements to enhance performance.

Víctor D'Appollonio, head of Syntec's Geodesy and Surveying department, stated that the commitment to the client was to receive field-collected data, process it through software, and generate a 3D CAD model using point clouds, with continuous follow-up throughout the process to ensure the delivery of an accurate solution. He explained that the analyzed pipeline is responsible for transporting slurry from the thickener to different equipment within the plant, such as hydrocyclones and pumps.

The project utilized LiDAR technology, SCENE point cloud processing software, and REVIT post-processing software, and was implemented by Miguel Tobar, a 3D modeling and point cloud specialist from Syntec's processing team. Tobar noted that the project's challenge was to deliver, within a limited timeframe, a point cloud overlaid with the 3D model of the pipeline segments, providing the client with detailed pipeline information to serve as input for change and improvement proposals.

Tobar emphasized that the team responded to user needs quickly and effectively, solving the client's problems, thanks to the company's technology and experience in modeling, simulation, geodesy, and surveying. Since the client was unfamiliar with point cloud technology, Syntec guided the field collection team to ensure the data captured by the laser scanner was complete and orderly. Tobar added that the products developed by the company's experts, as well as the processing team's recommendations for future laser scanning acquisitions, were considered optimal by the client.

D'Appollonio stated that the team met the committed deadlines, for which the client expressed gratitude and satisfaction. He believes this is another challenging project executed by the company abroad, and the positive feedback received reflects the company's continuous progress in solving complex problems with precision, speed, and reliability.

Syntec is a company that studies the essence of physical problems, avoids on-site trial and error, and leverages advanced technology to provide innovative engineering solutions.
