Nuclear laser measurement and fit-up

Nuclear
Written By Katherine Aiken

OMS are world-leading laser metrology experts with vast experience gained mostly in oil and gas projects. Having recently completed several successfully projects in the nuclear sector, we have ensured that our laser measurement equipment is fully qualified for nuclear environments. Our services help clients reduce project costs, mitigate risks, increase efficiency and install higher quality assets.

Measuring pipe ends with the OMS AutoTool provides data which can be used to sort, group, sequence and rotate pipes so that they fit together in the optimum way.This is a cost-effective, tried and tested service that leads to better fit-up, stronger welds and longer lasting assets, while also improving efficiency and facilitating smooth installation.

OMS SmartFit™ technology provides the most comprehensive fit-up information on the market. Working in harmony with our measurement tools, SmartFit™ helps clients achieve the best possible fit-up, even in the complex critical pipeline sections found in nuclear power plants. We have recently improved this powerful analysis software, which helps operators to meet project specifications, bring projects in on time and within budget, build the strongest possible pipelines and extend asset lifetime.
