Industrial Facility As-Built Documentation
Comprehensive 3D documentation for manufacturing plants, warehouses, and industrial sites
This page illustrates our typical approach and capabilities for this project type.
Typical Results for This Project Type
The Challenge
Industrial facilities undergo constant modifications — new equipment installations, piping reroutes, structural additions — yet as-built drawings rarely keep pace. When expansion or compliance projects require accurate facility documentation, teams discover that existing drawings are decades old, incomplete, or simply missing. This triggers expensive re-survey efforts that delay project timelines.

Our Approach
Conduct a pre-scan walkthrough to identify priority areas, access constraints, and safety requirements for industrial environments.
Deploy Trimble X12 or Leica RTC360 terrestrial scanners for high-accuracy structural and piping documentation, combined with FARO Focus Premium for tight mechanical spaces.
Use DJI M4E drone with Zenmuse L3 LiDAR for roof structures, elevated pipe racks, and areas inaccessible to ground-based scanners.
Deliver registered point cloud data with classification tags (structural steel, piping, conduit, ductwork) ready for engineering analysis or BIM modeling.
