Common questions about our petrochemical laser scanning, drone, and reality capture services in Mesaieed Industrial City.
How much does 3D scanning cost in Mesaieed?
3D laser scanning pricing in Mesaieed varies by project scope and facility type. Petrochemical unit scans start around QAR 15,000 ($4,100 USD) for smaller process areas. Comprehensive plant documentation ranges from QAR 75,000 to QAR 400,000 ($20,000-$110,000 USD) depending on facility size and complexity. Tank calibration surveys typically run QAR 10,000-25,000 per tank. Turnaround support packages are quoted based on scope and schedule. Contact us via WhatsApp for a detailed quote. Prices are indicative ranges, not a quote — every project is scoped individually.
Do you work with QatarEnergy and Mesaieed petrochemical plants?
Yes, our equipment and expertise are suited for serving Mesaieed's major petrochemical operators. We have the capability to provide comprehensive 3D scanning and drone services for QatarEnergy, QAPCO, QAFCO, Q-Chem, QAFAC, and other Mesaieed Industrial City facilities. Our team follows strict HSE protocols required for petrochemical operations and can coordinate with facility management for access during maintenance windows or turnarounds.
How are drone operations authorized in Qatar?
Drone operations in Qatar, including Mesaieed Industrial City, are conducted in compliance with QCAA (Qatar Civil Aviation Authority) requirements — RPAS licensing, aircraft registration, and the permits required for operations at petrochemical facilities are arranged per project. We coordinate with facility security and HSE teams and carry comprehensive aviation liability insurance.
What accuracy do you achieve with industrial 3D scanning?
Our Leica RTC360 and FARO Focus Premium laser scanners achieve millimeter-level accuracy (1.9 mm @ 10 m on the RTC360; 2 mm @ 10 m / 3.5 mm @ 25 m on the FARO Focus Premium) for terrestrial scanning. For process plant work requiring pipe spool-level accuracy, we can achieve tolerances meeting AVEVA and CADWORX integration requirements. Our Trimble X12 delivers a Trimble-published 3D point accuracy of 2.2 mm @ 20 m. This precision exceeds requirements for brownfield engineering, clash detection, and turnaround planning. Equipment allocation is project- and location-dependent — availability varies by region, operator and schedule, and the exact platform and payload for your Mesaieed project are confirmed at scheduling.
Can you scan operating petrochemical plants in Mesaieed?
Yes, we specialize in scanning active petrochemical facilities while minimizing operational disruption. Our team follows strict HSE protocols, completes site-specific safety training (H2S, confined space, etc.), and coordinates with operations teams to work around production schedules. We can scan during maintenance windows, turnarounds, or scheduled outages. We work under the facility's hazardous-area work permits and safety protocols, with capture scheduled and equipment staged to the site's HSE requirements.
What deliverables do you provide for petrochemical projects?
Petrochemical project deliverables include: registered point cloud data (E57, RCP, PTS), colorized point clouds with intensity data, 360° HDR panoramas, and comprehensive accuracy reports. For engineering applications: AVEVA PDMS-compatible datasets, CADWORX-ready piping data, BIM-conversion-ready data for Revit, P&ID verification, clash-detection-ready datasets, and isometric-extraction-ready piping data. Tank calibration includes API MPMS compliant capacity tables. We configure deliverables to your specific engineering workflow.
Do you provide tank calibration at Mesaieed tank farms?
Yes, we provide comprehensive storage tank calibration services compliant with API MPMS Chapter 2.2 (Measurement and Calibration of Upright Cylindrical Tanks).

All equipment is calibrated and operated inside its published temperature limits — the Trimble X12 is rated to +45 °C, the Leica RTC360, FARO Focus Premium and NavVis VLX 3 to +40 °C — so exterior capture is scheduled for the cooler parts of the day with climate-managed staging. Equipment allocation is project- and location-dependent — availability varies by region, operator and schedule, and the exact platform and payload for your Mesaieed project are confirmed at scheduling.
Can you support turnaround projects in Mesaieed?
Yes, we provide dedicated turnaround support services for Mesaieed petrochemical plants. Our team can mobilize rapidly to capture as-found conditions before shutdown, document work in progress, and create as-built records after modifications. We understand turnaround time constraints and can work 24/7 to meet project schedules. Pre-turnaround scanning enables clash detection and planning optimization.
What are typical turnaround times for Mesaieed projects?
Field scanning duration depends on scope and complexity. A typical process unit requires 3-7 days. Complete plant documentation may require 2-6 weeks depending on size. Point cloud delivery within 24-72 hours after field work completion. BIM-conversion-ready datasets delivered within 3-5 business days depending on facility complexity. Tank calibration reports delivered within 1 week. We offer expedited delivery for turnaround-critical projects.
