CASE STUDY

GSE inspected NASA’s A1 and B2 Test Stand Levels and the 4 and 5 Rolling Platforms. Using conventional survey methods and a Leica 3D scan station, an existing conditions survey was performed on the A1 and B2 test stands. A FARO Laser Tracker was then used to determine the specific size and location of the bolts. After this was complete, GSE conducted an as-built survey to ensure accuracy and create record drawings for the test stand. The 4 and 5 Rolling Platforms allow engine access during testing and maintenance by rolling on large roller bearings. The findings of the inspection included recommended repairs and cost estimates.
