Job description
Position Summary The LIDAR Analyst is responsible for acquiring, processing, and interpreting high-accuracy 3D laser scan data to support mechanical integrity inspections of aboveground storage tanks and pressure vessels. The role ensures that LiDAR-derived measurements meet the technical and documentation requirements of API 653 and API 510, enabling engineers and inspectors to assess deformation, settlement, and structural integrity. Responsibilities: KEY TASKS & GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES: Field Data Acquisition - Perform terrestrial LiDAR scanning of storage tanks (external and internal), pressure vessels and associated components. - Plan scan setups to ensure full coverage of critical areas and minimal shadowing and data gaps - Establish and verify control points where required - Document field conditions and constraints Data Processing: - Register and align multiple scans into a unified point cloud - Perform noise filtering, data cleaning, and segmentation (shell, roof, floor, nozzles) - Validate registration accuracy and completeness Geometric Analysis & Interpretation: - Conduct deformation analysis including out-of-roundness, plumbness (tanks), settlement trends, and bulging...
