Photorealistic laser scan data integrated into the design environment enables rapid, intuitive, and accurate design of plant modifications and verification of construction status against the design intent as construction progresses.

Rework-free construction Efficient, comprehensive clash detection enables costly on-site rework to be eliminated in the design stage.

Laser scans of as-fabricated and as-built construction can be used to update the design model and enable rapid and effective correction or accommodation of any non-compliant construction.

Drawings, reports, and bills of materials (BoMs) are produced directly from the 3D project model, ensuring their accuracy.

Rule-based, automatic drawing production ensures that fabrication and construction drawings meet project standards and are based on the most up-to-date design data.

Integration of laser scan data into the design environment

This powerful enabling technology offers dramatic efficiency gains on both greenfield and brownfield projects. When designing modifications to existing assets, new designs can be accurately aligned to tie-in points, and clashes between the new and existing construction can be eliminated.

Laser scans of individual fabrications, modules, or the current status of the as-built site can be rapidly imported for verification against the design model. Non-compliances can be resolved to protect the project schedule, and the design model can be progressively updated to accurately reflect the true as-built construction.
