Stage 3 specializes in high quality solids control equipment designed for closed loop mud systems to effectively manage solids, reducing costs for the operator. Stage 3 has made a name for itself in the solids control industry through continuous technological advancement and dedication to servicing their clients’ solids control needs. Adopting the LoadScan Load Volume Scanner technology has been part of that improvement process.

“With increased costs associated with the disposal of oil field waste, volume accounting has never been more important in reducing liability and expenses. LoadScan has impressed our client base by improving trucking and disposal efficiency, thus driving down cost and earning new business.”

LoadScan eliminates human errors through proven technology and replaces the common practice of guessing bucket size and trailer capacity to estimate load volumes. Knowing your exact volume of hauled waste allows you to precisely account for and reduce long term liability. Engineers, superintendents, and managers now have an unbiased volume accounting system for trucks leaving and returning to the job-site. Recorded hauled back volumes eliminate over charging of previously billed waste.

LoadScan has improved efficiency by dropping our client’s trucking and disposal costs by an average of 25%”.

Oil and Gas Giants constructing the new onshore facility as part of the OS2 development on Sakhalin Island Russia chose Loadscan New Zealand to provide accuracy and efficiencies in their civil construction operations. An accurate measurement solution was being sort for discrepancies they were experiencing between supplied truck quantities of roading construction materials in metric tonnes and volumetric surveyed quantities. These discrepancies were impacting operational costs and environmental consent compliance.

The brief to Loadscan was to provide a robust, portable volumetric Truck measurement system that could cope with the extreme conditions found in the North of Sakhalin Island, where temperatures range from
-40° to +25°C. Specific system adaptations were undertaken and successfully achieved.

Specialised features of the LVS system include:

• World first -40°C rated lasers
• Rugged touchscreen LVS operator interface
• RFID automatic truck identification
• Powerful Loadscan reporting software, Overview
• WiFi capability for remote control, data access and reporting

Operational staff from site were sent to New Zealand for training in the installation and use of the Loadscan system. This was undertaken over a three day period and has allowed the units to be installed and made operational on the island with remote support being provided by Loadscan in New Zealand.

The systems have been in operation since mid-August and results are extremely positive with the Loadscan system providing valuable truck movement data and accurate volumetric load measurements. The Loadscan LVS has identified up to a 20-25% short fall in delivered quantities

As global leaders in load volume scanning technology, Loadscan is committed to providing continued expertise and service to the oil and gas operations on Sakhalin Island and world wide.
