3D laser scanning for industrial & power facilities
We capture industrial plants, factories and power & energy facilities as survey-grade point clouds and turn them into accurate as-built drawings, 3D and BIM — the reliable current-state basis for revamps, retrofits, maintenance and a digital twin.

What is industrial & power plant laser scanning?
It's the use of high-accuracy 3D laser scanning to capture the actual built state of an industrial plant or power facility as a millimetre-grade point cloud, then convert it into as-built drawings, 3D or BIM models — an accurate basis for engineering, modification and asset management, including the changes the original drawings never captured.
Plants change — drawings don't keep up
Industrial and power facilities are modified continuously: new lines and tie-ins, replaced equipment, revamps and expansions. Original drawings fall out of date, and planning a revamp, retrofit or shutdown against the wrong geometry means clashes, rework and lost time on a live site. An accurate as-built record removes that risk — and it's the foundation for everything downstream, from BIM to a digital twin.
An accurate as-built basis for any plant or facility
Discover tools designed to make your journey easier and more effective.
Piping, process & structural as-built
pipework, equipment, ducting and steelwork as a clash-free basis.
Clearance & layout verification
accurate space and access for new equipment and lines.
Digital twin data foundation
handover-ready geometry for your platform.
USE CASES
WHERE AN ACCURATE AS-BUILT BASIS PAYS OFF
Brownfield revamps & modifications
design against the real plant, not 30-year-old drawings; cut rework and site surprises.
Maintenance & shutdown planning
plan scope, access and prefabrication off an accurate model before the window opens.
Equipment replacement & retrofits
fit new machinery, skids and lines into existing space and access.
Power & energy facilities
as-built of power generation, substations and energy infrastructure.
Facility & asset management
a reliable current-state record of the plant.
Digital twin foundation
he as-built layer your twin is built on digital twin.

HOW WE WORK
From scan to as-built deliverable
Technical scoping
facility, access, safety, required deliverable and level of detail.
Capture
efficient, accurate scanning around live-site constraints, indoor and outdoor.
Registration & QA
point cloud registered, cleaned and checked to survey tolerances.
As-built deliverable
2D drawings, 3D/CAD or BIM at your required LOD.
Handover
in your formats, ready for design, engineering or a digital twin.
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
Industrial & power plant scanning — common questions
What is industrial laser scanning?
The use of high-accuracy 3D laser scanning to capture a plant or facility as a millimetre-grade point cloud, delivered as as-built drawings, 3D or BIM models that reflect the asset as it physically stands today.
Can you scan an operational plant or live site?
Yes. We plan capture around access windows, safety requirements and operational constraints, indoor and outdoor, to minimise disruption.
What deliverables do you provide?
Registered point clouds, as-built 2D drawings, as-built 3D/CAD models and BIM at your required LOD — in the formats your team works in.
How accurate are your as-built models?
Geometry to a few millimetres, reflecting the plant as it physically stands — including modifications the original drawings never captured.
Do you scan power plants and substations?
Yes. We capture power generation, substations and energy infrastructure as a survey-grade as-built basis for engineering and asset management.
Can you work from our existing point cloud or drawings?
Yes — we can process and model from your data, or capture a new scan.
How do you handle confidentiality?
EU jurisdiction, GDPR and NDA. Most projects are confidential; anonymised references on request.
