3D Laser Scanning for Industrial Facilities (LiDAR)

When your plant has outdated drawings, tight shutdown windows, or zero tolerance for rework, 3D laser scanning (LiDAR) gives your team a verified “single source of truth.” We capture millimeter-level point clouds of existing conditions so engineering, design, and maintenance teams can plan with confidence—fewer site visits, fewer clashes, fewer change orders.

What you get (scope of service)

Accurate As-Built Documentation

•  High-precision point clouds, 2D CAD drawings, or Scan-to-BIM models.
•  Eliminates reliance on missing or outdated as-builts.
•  Provides a verified baseline for design and analysis.

Improved Design Efficiency

•  Engineers design directly on accurate 3D data.
•  Less guesswork and field adjustments; faster iterations.
•  Real-world conditions baked into your model from day one.

Clash Detection & Coordination

• Native integration with BIM workflows (e.g., structural vs. MEP).
• Early issue discovery so new work fits existing conditions.

Dimensional Control & QA/QC

• Verify tolerances during fabrication or installation.
• Compare as-designed vs. as-built to spot deviations early.

Complex Geometry, Made Simple

• Curved, angled, and irregular assets captured reliably.
• Perfect for dense pipe racks, conveyors, mills, and heritage assets.

Lifecycle Value / Digital Twin

• Create a usable digital twin for maintenance, renovations, and future upgrades.
• Long-term data integrity for owners and operators.

[technology]

How the technology works

We focus on accuracy, reliability, and service — delivering high-quality data and models tailored to your project needs.

Capture

A terrestrial LiDAR scanner measures the site, emitting thousands of laser pulses per second.

Measure

Time-of-flight/phase-shift readings compute exact distances to every visible surface.

Point Cloud

Millions of measured points form a precise 3D representation of your facility.

Processing

We register and align scans, then prepare 2D/3D deliverables to match your workflow.

Deliverables

As-builts, Scan-to-CAD/BIM, deviation analysis (QA/QC), and stakeholder visualization tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore answers to key questions about our 3D Laser Scanning, drone surveying services.

get in touch

What is laser scanning?

Laser scanning uses LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to capture millions of precise 3D points from surfaces. This creates a point cloud, which can be turned into accurate drawings, models, or digital twins of real-world environments.

What can laser scanning be used for?

•  As-built documentation
•  Building Information Modeling (BIM)
•  Construction verification and clash detection
•  Facility and asset management
•  Topographic surveys
•  Historical preservation
•  Industrial plant, MEP, and manufacturing documentation

How accurate is laser scanning?

Accuracy depends on the equipment and project requirements. Typical tolerances range from ±2 mm to ±10 mm, which is far more precise than traditional methods for complex environments.

How fast is the scanning process?

Laser scanning captures large amounts of data much faster than manual measuring.
For example, a full building floor can often be scanned in a few hours, with results delivered in days instead of weeks.

What deliverables do I receive?

•  Point clouds (E57, RCP, LAS, etc.)
•  2D drawings (plans, sections, elevations)
•  3D CAD or BIM models (Revit, AutoCAD, IFC, etc.)
•  Deviation reports (comparison of construction vs. design)

Do I need special software to view the scans?

No. We can provide files compatible with free viewers (Autodesk ReCap, CloudCompare, etc.), so you don’t need expensive software to review your project.

Is laser scanning disruptive to operations?

Not at all. The process is non-invasive and typically requires no downtime. Scanners are compact, quiet, and can capture data while facilities remain operational.

How does it save me money?

•  Reduces costly change orders
•  Prevents design clashes before construction
•  Eliminates repeat site visits
•  Improves overall project efficiency

Can outdoor areas be scanned?

Yes. Laser scanning works both indoors and outdoors. For large-scale sites, drone-based LiDAR may also be used.

Is laser scanning safe?

Yes. Terrestrial scanners use eye-safe, Class 1 lasers, making the process completely safe for people and equipment.
