3D Scanning
Precision and Accuracy
When it comes to retrofitting an existing vessel, accuracy is critical. To ensure precision, we utilize advanced 3D scanning technology. This method allows us to capture detailed, high‐resolution data of the vessel’s layout and systems, providing a solid foundation for the retrofit design
Accurate Representation: 3D scanning captures the exact dimensions and structure of the vessel, eliminating guesswork and potential errors.
Minimizing Rework: By using detailed and accurate 3D models, we can design with confidence, reducing the need for costly rework or modifications during installation
Time Efficiency: The scanning process is quick, capturing a comprehensive view of the vessel in a fraction of the time compared to traditional surveying methods.
Whether it’s creating a digital twin of a vessel or mapping specific areas for retrofit, 3D scanning ensures that every project starts with a precise understanding of the vessel’s structure.
Existing Structure Modelling
Ensuring Seamless Integration
One of the key challenges in marine retrofit projects is ensuring that new systems and equipment integrate seamlessly with the existing structure of the vessel. At Kennedy Marine Design, we utilize advanced modelling techniques to accurately capture the existing structure of the vessel. This allows us to design and verify space requirements, ensuring that all new components fit perfectly and that connections to the existing structure are accurate and secure
Key Aspects of Existing Structure Modelling:
Precise Representation of Existing Spaces: Using 3D scanning and modelling technologies, we create a detailed digital representation of the vessel’s current structure. This enables us to verify available space, avoiding conflicts or spatial constraints during the retrofit process
Accurate Connection Design: By thoroughly understanding the existing structure, we can
design connections that align perfectly with the current framework, ensuring strength and
stability. This includes designing for compatibility with existing bulkheads, decks, and other
structural elements, ensuring that the new systems integrate without compromising the
vessel’s integrityDesign Verification and Optimization: We use the structural model to verify that the retrofit design meets all necessary specifications for load‐bearing capacity, material strength, and operational efficiency. By simulating real‐world conditions, we can optimize designs before installation begins, ensuring a smooth and effective retrofit
