Determination of deformation of high-capacity tank using terrestrial laser scanning

The paper deals with the use of terrestrial laser scanning for the determination of a deformation extent of high-capacity tank resulting from a pressure equalisation of exterior and interior, i.e. an implosion. The methodology of survey and the interpretation method of the deformation extent is innovative in this field. The processing was realized using computer graphics software Microstation VX and Geomagic Raindrop 10. Not only the demonstration of position, extent of deformations and numerical expression of their direction and extent is the result of this survey, but also the analysis and proposal of repair works will be realized.
