If a plant is not using a laser-scanned as-built process for greenfield and brownfield facility design, retrofit engineering and installation – it is losing time and money. It doesn’t matter how good an engineer or design software is, without a laser-precise virtual environment to design new equipment within, there will be unexpected issues. Accurately designing and installing new equipment into a complex existing facility, without downtime, is a challenge even with laser scans. Without a detailed 3D environment unforeseen conflicts and design issues will cause delays, downtime and increased costs.
