Scan to BIM and virtual tours
Capture your facilities in a few hours, without stopping production.
Overview
Our 3D laser scanner captures your facilities in a few hours, including in ATEX zones, without stopping production. Point clouds are registered, cleaned and then turned into an intelligent BIM model.
The site can also be offered as a 360° virtual tour: all stakeholders examine the facility remotely, which reduces travel and return visits to site.
Fields of application
- Existing facilities before modification
- Technical rooms and premises
- Process units
- As-built piping and structures
- Preparation of shutdowns and extensions
- Remote visits

Frequently asked questions
Can you scan in an ATEX zone?
Yes: the survey is carried out including in ATEX zones, without stopping production, in compliance with the site's safety rules.
What is a 360° virtual tour?
A walkthrough of the scanned site, viewable remotely: stakeholders can see the facility without travelling.
What happens to the point cloud?
It is registered, cleaned, then turned into an as-built BIM model of the piping, structures and equipment.
