A surface (2) of a structure (5) is faired using a plant (1) having at least one mobile operating unit (6), which has a rail system (9), along which runs at least one multiple-axis robot (10) controlled by a computer (13), and a tool store (11) for a number of interchangeable tools (12) fitted automatically to the robot (10) to perform a sequence of scanning and finish operations on the surface (2). Which operations are performed by positioning the mobile operating unit (6) next to the structure (5) to perform the scanning and finish operations on at least part (S1; S2) of the surface (2); and, if necessary, re-positioning the operating unit (6) with respect to the structure (5) a sufficient number of times to perform the scanning and finish operations on the whole surface (2). |
