When it comes to keeping power generation facilities running efficiently, alignment accuracy is critical. While our colleagues at OASIS Alignment Services specialize in laser tracker-based alignment inspections, Exact Metrology supports these efforts with advanced 3D scanning and long-range scanning. By capturing high-resolution data and creating detailed digital models, we help engineers reverse engineer legacy components, validate alignment, and perform virtual fit-ups before outages. In traditional power generation - coal, gas, nuclear, & hydropower - the performance and reliability of critical equipment hinge on precision alignment. Turbines, generators, pumps, compressors, and other rotating assets operate under immense loads and at high speeds. Even a [...]
