Functional Design & Capture

Laser scans capture every detail of process environments, reducing field rework and clashes. By overlaying proposed structures and piping in the model, design teams ensure constructability and minimize downtime.

Model Integration

Reality capture verifies clearances, constructability, and installation feasibility before construction begins. Confirming tie-in points and validating spatial requirements early in the design process enhances accuracy, decreases the risk of change orders, and ensures that installations will perform as planned from the start.

Project-Specific Capture

Rather than relying on outdated drawings or rough field sketches, reality capture delivers precise as-built conditions. This accuracy provides project teams with a reliable foundation for design, reduces the risk of unforeseen conflicts, and ensures that engineering decisions are based on real-world data.

Aerial & Facility-wide Capture

Reality capture provides both macro- and micro-level data, delivering accurate information for layout planning, permitting support, and long-term asset management. From a facility-wide perspective, aerial scanning is a powerful tool for master planning and capital project planning, ensuring that future expansions and investments are coordinated with existing conditions.

Aerial surveys also ensure new developments integrate seamlessly with existing utilities, access routes, and operations—creating a single source of truth that reduces risk, eliminates data silos, and supports smarter decisions across the entire asset lifecycle.

3D Modeling Integration

Advanced reality capture workflows integrate directly with leading CAD and BIM platforms, allowing engineers to design within verified spatial constraints and perform accurate clash detection inside their native design environment. This seamless integration enables teams to position new equipment, route complex piping systems, and design structural platforms with millimeter-level confidence—ensuring every decision is based on actual field conditions rather than assumptions.

The precision of these workflows supports advanced prefabrication strategies, where components fit correctly on the first delivery. This reduces costly field modifications, improves installation safety by removing spatial uncertainties, and transforms digital models into reliable construction documents that streamline the path from design to installation.
