3D Laser Surveys and 3D Digital Twin Creation

Using 3D laser scanning technology, A3D is able to survey entire sites in days as opposed to years at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional methods. Laser scanning technology produces can produce an as-built survey of your entire facility at an accuracy of +/-1mm, without site disruption or the need for scaffolding. 

With the point cloud data, A3D has specialist techniques for producing piping and instrumentation diagrams, in a smart database-driven format without the need for specialist software, whilst benefiting from faster P&ID creation and updating whilst producing a huge range of metadata including line and asset lists.

Detailed spec-driven 3D process models, for use with project updates, design work, clash detection, and your first step towards digitizing your terminal. Cost-effective creation of API570 NDT inspection packs, with live updates from the 3D process model.

General arrangement drawings, tank tilt/verticality analysis, and a huge range of other outputs from a single survey.

Laser Scanning records everything allowing a single survey to be used for multiple projects, including the creation of a 3D Digital Twin.

Client Savings:

47% - Reduction in required on-site visits

75% - Projects re-used the survey data
