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.
Installation of Cintec anchors with the fabric of the masonry wall increases ductility, prevents breaching and significantly reduces spalling from the
interior face.
