The process of building a digital duplicate of each procedure, piece of machinery, and workflow inside a plant is known as plant modeling. Process manufacturing facilities are already completely outfitted with sensors that collect data from every part of the system; using plant modeling, engineers use this data to create an exact depiction of everything that occurs within the system and continuously update it in real-time.

Existing Plant Modeling

Existing facilities can be digitally modeled to document their current condition and support future engineering work.

Plant models can help with:

  • Existing facility documentation
  • Plant modifications
  • Equipment replacement
  • Piping modifications
  • Plant expansion
  • Retrofit projects
  • Maintenance planning
  • Engineering studies
  • As-built documentation

Piping & Equipment Modeling

Accurate representation of piping and equipment is essential for industrial design and modification projects.

Our modeling services can include:

  • Process piping
  • Utility piping
  • Pipe supports
  • Valves and fittings
  • Pumps
  • Compressors
  • Tanks
  • Vessels
  • Heat exchangers
  • Other process equipment

The model provides a clear 3D view of the relationship between equipment and piping systems.


Structural Plant Modeling

We can model existing structural elements to support plant engineering and construction activities.

This may include:

  • Structural steel
  • Columns
  • Beams
  • Platforms
  • Pipe racks
  • Stairs
  • Handrails
  • Supports
  • Access structures

Plant Expansion & Modification

Plant design models are useful when an existing facility needs to be expanded or modified.

A detailed model of the existing plant can help project teams:

  • Understand available space
  • Plan new equipment
  • Route new piping
  • Coordinate structural modifications
  • Review access and clearances
  • Identify potential clashes
  • Develop engineering designs

As-Built Plant Models

We can develop as-built plant models based on actual site conditions captured through laser scanning.

These models provide a digital record of the facility and can support:

  • Future modifications
  • Maintenance
  • Facility management
  • Engineering studies
  • Equipment replacement
  • Plant upgrades
  • Documentation

Benefits of Plant Design Modeling

Accurate Existing Conditions

Models are developed from detailed survey and laser scanning data.

Better Design Coordination

Different plant systems can be reviewed together in a 3D environment.

Reduced Site Measurements

Laser scanning captures large amounts of site information efficiently.

Improved Planning

Engineers can review existing conditions before beginning modification or expansion work.

Better Visualization

Complex plant layouts become easier to understand through 3D models.

Support for Future Projects

Digital plant models can be used as a reference for future engineering and maintenance activities.

Industrial Applications

The petrochemical industry has been using 3D laser scanning for years, but more and more also other industrial sectors see the usefulness of this technique for the management of industrial plants

Volume Calculations

For the determination of the volumetric of stocks 3D laser scanning is used as a reliable and safer alternative to conventional surveying when accuracy is needed.

Infrastructure Applications

Complex structures in field of civil engineering such as bridges and tunnels are measured with a lot of detail with 3D laser scanning.

Architecture Applications

By scanning the facades and interiors of a monumental building a 3D point cloud of the entire building is created. This data serves as the basis for creating floor plans, facade plans, etc.

Archaeological/Heritage

Registration of geometric information of monuments, statues, archaeological remains, etc. makes a major contribution to the preservation of heritage.

Registered Point Cloud

For Clients That Wish to Complete Their Own Post Production We Can Scan and Supply a Registered Point Cloud

3D CAD Models

For Clients That Wish to Complete Their Own Post Production We Can Scan and Supply a Registered Point Cloud

3D Mesh Models

3D mesh models are ideal solution for irregular or organically shaped objects

BIM Models

We can convert the point cloud into a BIM ready format, REVIT, AECOSIM and ARCHCAD models

Plant Design Models

We offer conversion of point clouds into AVEVA PDMS, CADWORX and open plant models

2D CAD Documentation

Highly accurate floor plans, sections & elevations can be generated in a variety of formats and levels of detail which can suit your specific requirements

Orthophotos

We offer Orthophotos – Metric Images Commonly Specified for Heritage Sites

3D Virtual Reality

We can professionally specified the objects, buildings spaces and create game-like environments with interactive 3d walkthroughs.

Panoramic Images

Panoramic images can be supplied referenced to a site map allowing the user to navigate around the site in a product called panotours

Leica TruView

TruView combines panoramic images with point cloud data, allowing the user to take measurements, mark up and share views. It provides an effective visual decision-making tool

Reverse Engineering

Reverse Engineering services help you accurately capture, analyze, and recreate existing components, equipment, structures, and products.

2D/3D Floor Plan

We create accurate and detailed 2D and 3D floor plans that help architects, engineers, contractors, property owners, and real estate professionals understand spaces clearly

Sectional Drawings

We create accurate and detailed sectional drawings that provide a clear view of building elements, levels, heights, materials, and construction details.

Facade/Elevation Building Survey

Our Facade & Elevation Building Survey services provide accurate documentation of a building’s external appearance, dimensions, architectural features.

Measured Building Surveys

Our Measured Building Survey services provide precise measurements and detailed documentation of existing buildings and spaces. We capture the actual dimensions,.

Concrete Scanning(Post Tension)

Post-tensioned concrete structures contain high-strength steel tendons embedded within the slab. Drilling, coring, cutting, or anchoring without knowing their exact location.

Stockpile Survey

Stockpile surveying provides accurate measurements of material volume, quantity, and distribution for aggregates, sand, gravel, soil, minerals, and other bulk materials.
