K Robotics and their worldwide international associates provide a 3-D laser scanning and modelling capability with purpose built software that converts gathered data into a 3-dimensional CAD model.

The scan is used to collect accurate dimensions of target  and adjacent buildings and can be completed at a range of up to 60 metres capturing over one million data points at an accuracy of about +/- 3mm.

 
he model created by laser scanning is then analysed using the discrete element code Elfen-Deft developed by Rockfield Software. Trained analytical engineers working at Gifford and Partners bring the behavioural predictions together and complete a risk assessment.

The position of the magnitude of critical blast loads is evaluated and pressure and impulse distributions calculated. A numerical model is then produced and subjected to the threat. If necessary, the findings can be tested on a wall built to simulate the existing subject structure.
