Digital twin foundation services

Every digital twin starts with accurate reality. We deliver the survey-grade as-built foundation — point clouds and 3D/BIM models — your twin is built on, for any asset or industry. The live twin runs in your platform; we make sure it's grounded in the truth.

What is a digital twin?

A digital twin is a continuously maintained virtual replica of a physical asset, combining accurate 3D geometry with operational data so teams can plan, engineer and operate against a true-to-life model. Its foundation is a survey-grade as-built capture of the asset as it exists today — which is what we provide.

A digital twin is only as good as the reality underneath it

Built on outdated drawings or rough geometry, a twin becomes a model nobody trusts — and quietly stops being used. The hard part isn't the software; it's capturing the asset's true current state accurately enough to build on, and keeping it current as the asset changes. That's the part we specialise in.

WHAT WE DELIVER

The accurate as-built foundation your twin depends on

As-built laser scanning

survey-grade capture of the asset as it really stands.

Registered point cloud

millimetre-grade, cleaned and QA'd.

As-built 3D / BIM

the geometric foundation of the twin, at your required LOD.

Handover-ready data

formatted for your digital-twin platform.

Twin updates

re-scans to keep the foundation current as the asset changes.

We deliver the accurate as-built foundation. The live twin, IoT and simulation run in your platform — we don't lock you into ours. You get the truth your twin is built on, in the environment you already use.

USE CASES

Where an accurate foundation makes the difference

  • Industrial & plant twins 

    object-based as-built of complex facilities.

  • Building & facility twins

    accurate models for building operation and facility management.

  • Asset & facility management 

    a reliable current-state record.

  • Brownfield & retrofit 

    design and plan against the real asset.

  • Oil & gas digital twin

    the demanding vertical we go deepest in digital twin oil and gas.

  • Keeping a twin current 

    periodic re-scans as the asset evolves.

Survey-grade foundation, platform-agnostic

EU-based

EU data jurisdiction, GDPR, NDA.

The right tool for the job

Terrestrial, mobile (SLAM), drone and close-range scanning — we combine the optimal method for each asset, to survey-grade accuracy.

Foundation, not lock-in

We hand the as-built data into your platform (e.g. AVEVA E3D), not ours.

Proven on hard assets

Offshore, Caspian and MENA projects, anonymised on request.

HOW WE WORK

From asset to twin foundation

1

Technical scoping

asset, twin platform, target LOD and formats.

2

Capture 

survey-grade scanning of the asset as it stands.

3

Registration & QA 

point cloud registered, cleaned and checked to survey tolerances.

4

As-built modelling

3D / BIM foundation at your required LOD.

5

Handover

 into your digital-twin platform; optional re-scans to keep it current.

Selected projects & client experience

These are projects we can show publicly. A significant part of our work — critical infrastructure, offshore and live industrial assets — is covered by NDA and can't be displayed. The experience behind it is the same.

FAQ

Digital twins — common questions

  • A continuously maintained virtual replica of a physical asset, combining accurate 3D geometry with operational data. Its foundation is a survey-grade as-built capture of the asset as it exists today.

  • A point cloud is the raw, millimetre-accurate measurement. A 3D/BIM model is the object-based representation built from it. A digital twin adds live operational data on top. We deliver the first two — the foundation every twin depends on.

  • We provide the accurate as-built data — point cloud and 3D/BIM model — formatted for your platform. The live twin, IoT and simulation run in your environment; we don't lock you in.

  • Geometry to a few millimetres, reflecting the asset as it physically stands today.

  • Yes — we re-scan periodically to refresh the as-built foundation as the asset changes.

  • EU jurisdiction, GDPR and NDA. Most projects are confidential — anonymised references on request.
