ACCOMPLISHMENT OF PLANT MODIFICATIONS BY MULTIPLE COMPANIES’ COLLABORATION WITH EASY OPERATED 3D SPACE SHARING WEB APPLICATION

Abstract

In safety system modifications of nuclear power plants by multiple companies, there is a concern of interference if they cannot recognize the latest status of on-site changing and the layout plan of other companies. Due to the lack of the understanding of other companies’ engineering, it will lead the on-site interference and require the re-work of engineering.

For reducing the risk of interference concern, we develop and provide the 3D space sharing Web application that can display 3DCAD models, point cloud, and 360° images from any view point. 360° images with shooting position information can be extracted easily by technology of estimating shooting position of 360° movies. The users can tag comments in its 3D space and can generate contact forms with URL link to the same view. These function enable collaboration to accomplish safety system modifications between multiple companies.

We provide the 3D space sharing Web application to electric power companies, cooperated companies and ourselves. The application supports remote engineers who cannot easy to go to site and cannot easy to hold face to face meeting by spread of COVID-19 to check on-site situation and other companies’ equipment layout plan and adjustment equipment layout plan.
