• The ScanView team offer ‘Point cloud & ‘digital twin’ additionally to this, with our modeling team will generate an as-built 3D CAD model or Intelligent Revit Model.

• The 3D CAD Model is created by importing the ultra-high accurate point cloud into 3D modelling software.  The final model can be exported into the desired file format for the end user, such as Navisworks.

• The Intelligent Revit model/ Building Information Modeling (BIM) enhances project design and management by tagging equipment like steel beams, flanges, and valves within a CAD model. This process assigns unique identifiers and relevant data—improving planning, communication and collaboration among team members.

Customer Value

• Simplified and improved piping design: 3D CAD modelling helps in streamlining pipe routing in order to make the design and pipe route a lot easier and time efficient, saving the company money and time to the achieve the desired overall pipe route.

• Better visualization and forecasting capabilities: 3D CAD modelling helps in productivity savings for key plant design disciplines. The 3D model allows engineers, construction and procurement to visualise the final plant better and enables them to make intelligent and data driven decisions. Clients with a plant 3D model can also make better forecasts and have visibility of “what if” decisions.

• More Effective Design for Manufacturability: While it is perceived that 3D is substantially more efficient than 2D in representing design for the manufacturing process. A 3D CAD model has the potential to get the quality of your design across more effectively eliminating most inconsistencies as compared to a 2D drawing.

• Clash detection & Catch Errors Promptly: 3D modelling has an excellent quality to identify errors and take accurate measurements of key areas in the plant resulting in saving time and money. Sometimes engineers can make errors that can lead to major losses if these errors go unnoticed during design. However using 3D CAD modelling, the client is able to speed up the process and determine any clashes up front before proceeding to manufacturing and production.

• Better quality deliverables, faster and cheaper time to market: Clients utilizing the full extent of the 3D CAD model enables companies the ability to deliver higher quality deliverables with a tight deadline and budget.

• 3D CAD Plant Models are digital:

  • Making them easily portable. This enables off site working and therefore clients being able to source and utilise design skills that are more available and cost competitive than those that are local, in short supply and come at a higher cost.

  • Easily stored online and readily accessible to plant engineers when required, at any time of day or night
