AS-built Plant Design Models

Using a point cloud obtained from 3D laser scanning we offer conversions to 3D plant design models using AVEVA E3D and PDMS, AutoCAD Plant 3D, Bentley Open Plant, and Cadworx Plant Professional amongst other plant design software. 3D plant design models are a form of BIM model tailored to use in industry including in petrochemical, manufacturing, and mining. Using 3D laser scanning we offer as-built documentation and plant design modeling allowing us to accurately convert an existing plant into a plant design model allowing for the creation of a digital twin. Like a BIM model, the necessary as-built specifications of a plant design model will determine scan resolution, processing, and ultimately cost and time to create a model. Therefore, it is important to choose an appropriate specification for the level of detail. We will work with you during each step to create the most accurate and cost-effective solution tailored to the specific needs of a project.
