Building & Industrial Plant 3D Laser Scanning

When should you commission building or plant scanning?

Use site scanning to document existing conditions before modelling, drawing preparation or an agreed engineering review. Define the required areas and accessible entities around the intended use.

• Existing commercial, institutional and industrial buildings.
• Plant equipment, visible piping and structural areas.
• Operating facilities with coordinated access and work windows.
• Registered data delivery for your own modelling team.

What inputs and outputs should be agreed?

Coordinate references, registration checks and any survey-control requirements must be agreed before fieldwork.

How is site capture organised?

1. Define coverage: review plans, photographs, boundaries and required entities.
2. Plan access: coordinate working windows, operating-site restrictions and available viewpoints.
3. Capture and register: acquire the agreed areas and combine data into the specified reference system.
4. Review and hand over: check agreed coverage, document relevant gaps and deliver the point clouds and commissioned outputs.

What experience supports this service?

Our project profile includes an operational LNG facility in Gujarat, power-plant assignments and an operational hospital in Mumbai. The LNG scope records registered, georeferenced point clouds and a gap-analysis report; the hospital scope included point clouds and BIM modelling. These outputs are examples of specific assignments, rather than automatic inclusions in every scan.

How are inaccessible areas handled?

Obstructions and access restrictions can leave gaps. Capture extent and any excluded areas should be identified in the scope and reviewed during delivery. A point cloud records observed geometry; hidden systems and engineering attributes require suitable additional information.
