A new PDMS model of M22 and D22  is being based on point cloud and will be used for design purposes for redesigning the platform. All modeling has been completed by using point cloud, drawings and PDMS.

Web portal:
A complete online web portal makes the whole platform available for all involvied companies world wide, for viewing scans and panorama pictures. This easy access makes it possible to utilize re-use of the scans.
