Industrial Plant Scan to BIM
Pipe racks, tank farms, boiler rooms, and process equipment — the densest environments we scan, usually captured while the facility stays operational.
Usually delivered at LOD 300 (coordination-grade) or LOD 350–400 (fabrication-grade), with pipe diameters auto-recognized as intelligent objects during modeling.
Frequently asked
Do you need to shut down the facility to scan it?
No — scanning is scheduled around active operations; restricted-access areas can be captured in a later pass if needed.
Can pipe and MEP elements really be auto-recognized?
Yes — pipe diameters are auto-recognized as intelligent objects during the ReCap/MEP workflow, which meaningfully speeds up modeling versus tracing every run by hand.
What LOD do industrial plant models usually land at?
Most land at LOD 300 or LOD 350–400, depending on whether the model needs to support clash detection or direct fabrication of replacement components.
Can you scan around scaffolding, piping congestion, or other obstructions?
Yes — dense, cluttered areas are exactly what a multi-station FARO capture is built for; any spot that's genuinely inaccessible in one visit gets flagged and captured in a follow-up pass.
Do you provide as-built documentation for regulatory or insurance purposes?
Yes — the resulting LOD 300–400 model and underlying point cloud are accurate enough to support regulatory as-built filing or insurance documentation; tell us the specific standard your reviewer expects.
