Brownfield 3D Scanning

A Measured 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 The result is a measured existing-condition model your team can plan, build, and repair from — without guesswork or outdated drawings.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 a measured model of the space you’re working in, so fit-up problems on the interfaces in scope show up on screen before they show up 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 with measured conditions for the areas in scope, not assumptions.

Existing-condition documentation

Dated drawings or models of the visible conditions included in the agreed scope, developed for the identified project use.

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

Existing-condition CAD models

CAD models developed from selected captured information to the detail, format and purpose defined in the project scope.

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 CAD or building model defined in your project scope.
