Brownfield 3D Scanning

An Accurate 3D Record of Your Existing Facility

We come to your plant, factory, refinery, or warehouse and capture the conditions as they are on the day we scan. The result is a measured existing-condition model your team can plan, build, and repair from — without guesswork or outdated drawings.

Where it earns its keep

When brownfield scanning pays off

Upgrades & expansions

Planning new equipment or a line expansion? Start from an exact model of the space you’re working in, so fit-up problems show up on screen, not on site.

Retrofits

Replacing aging equipment or piping? Capture the surrounding structure so clearances and tie-in points are checked before the new part is made.

Shutdown planning

Make the most of limited downtime. Scan ahead so crews arrive knowing what they’ll face.

As-built documentation

Drawings that match reality — not decades-old prints that may have changed a dozen times since release.

Deliverables

What you walk away with

01

Registered point cloud

A measurable 3D record of the scanned area that you can revisit at any time.

02

As-built CAD models

Clean, parametric models your design and fabrication teams can work in directly.

03

3D building models

For larger facilities, a full model that architects, electricians, and pipefitters can coordinate around.

04

Clash detection

Catch conflicts on screen — before they cost you on the floor.

The process

How a brownfield scan works

01

On-site scan

We bring professional laser scanners to your facility and capture the piping, steel and equipment inside the agreed scan area.

02

Register & process

We stitch the scans into one accurate, measurable point cloud.

03

Model & deliver

We turn the data into the exact CAD or building model your project needs.
