COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE TECHNICAL CONDITION AND GEOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF AN INDUSTRIAL CHIMNEY USING LASER SCANNING TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The article presents the results of a comprehensive survey of the technical condition of a reinforced concrete chimney of an industrial enterprise. The scientific and practical task was to determine deviations of the geometric parameters of the structure from the design values and to identify defects in the structure using laser scanning technology. The methodology of laser scanning, including a description of the equipment, scanning parameters, and data processing methods, is described in detail. The results indicate the presence of significant deviations from the vertical and defects, which allows us to conclude that the chimney is in unsatisfactory technical condition and requires repair or dismantling. The use of laser scanning technology made it possible to obtain objective data on the geometric parameters of the chimney and to more accurately assess its technical condition. The findings can be used for making informed decisions on the future operation of the chimney, developing repair projects or dismantling, as well as for improving methods of surveying and monitoring industrial structures. The laser scanning technology is an effective tool for the survey of industrial chimneys, allowing to quickly and accurately obtain information about their geometric parameters, identify defects and assess the technical condition, improving the objectivity and efficiency of the survey and reducing risks to staff. The detailed analysis of the technical condition of the chimney can be used to improve the safety and reliability of industrial enterprises.
