Inspect concrete segments
Capture the geometry of precast tunnel segments with optical 3D equipment. Plan scanning coverage around the faces, features and inspection points required by the project.
3D dimensional control for precast segments and moulds
Turn measured geometry into documented quality evidence. Digitalnology combines optical 3D measurement with KYP traceability to connect dimensional inspection results to each precast element.
Discuss your inspection requirements →Verify mould geometry
Compare measured mould geometry with the design reference. Document deviations to support acceptance checks, adjustments and maintenance decisions.
Connect quality records
Keep dimensional reports associated with the relevant KYP element record, alongside production history, inspections, defects and repairs.
From measurement to an inspection report
- Define the inspection plan. Agree the geometry, reference model, measurement coverage and project tolerances.
- Measure the component. Use optical measurement equipment and an appropriate setup to capture the required surfaces and features.
- Compare with the design. Analyse measured geometry against the reference, using deviation maps and dimensional results.
- Record the outcome. Review results against agreed acceptance criteria and link the report to the element history in KYP.
Geometry and traceability in the same workflow
A dimensional report is most useful when the team can identify exactly which component it describes. KYP connects the element identity with its production and quality history, helping teams retrieve inspection evidence during quality reviews and project handover.
Dimensional inspection can complement the wider tunnel installation and as-built workflow, maintaining a connection between factory records and installed segments.
A setup matched to your production
Choose an in-house measurement workflow or discuss an optional on-site inspection service. Equipment, measurement procedures, reporting scope and KYP integration are defined around the component geometry and the project requirements.
The approach can also be adapted to other precast concrete elements, with inspection plans tailored to their geometry and quality requirements.
Frequently asked questions
What can be inspected?
Typical applications include concrete tunnel segments and their moulds. Other precast components can be assessed after reviewing their dimensions, geometry and inspection requirements.
Can the workflow cover all six faces of a segment?
A six-face scanning workflow can be planned where the handling arrangement and access to the component allow it. The measurement sequence and coverage are agreed for each application.
What accuracy and tolerances apply?
Required measurement performance and acceptance tolerances are project-specific. They must be agreed based on the component, equipment, setup, environmental conditions and inspection procedure.
How are reports connected to KYP?
The inspection workflow associates dimensional reports with the identified element, making them available alongside its production and quality records. Data formats and integration scope are agreed during project definition.
