AsBuilt's Process to Achieve the Perfect Project

At AsBuilt, we offer a comprehensive start-to-finish process for utilizing 3D scanning and modeling in retrofit projects, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and successful outcomes.

Project Kick-Off: Our journey begins with an initial consultation to understand your project scope, objectives, and specific requirements. We conduct a preliminary site visit to evaluate the environment and develop an optimal scan plan. This is followed by meticulous project planning, which outlines timelines, milestones, and deliverables, ensuring minimal disruption to your facility's operations.

Data Capture: Our expert team mobilizes state-of-the-art 3D laser scanning equipment to your site. We perform multiple scans from different views, capturing millions of data points per second to ensure comprehensive coverage. On-site quality checks guarantee that all necessary details are accurately captured.

Data Processing: The raw scan data is transferred to specialized software to create a unified point cloud, which is then cleaned and aligned to produce a cohesive 3D representation of your facility. Rigorous quality assurance checks are conducted to verify the accuracy and completeness of the processed data.

3D Modeling: The processed point cloud is imported into CAD or BIM software, where we generate a detailed 3D model of your facility. This model includes all captured structural, mechanical, and architectural elements, along with necessary details like equipment, piping, and utilities. We conduct a thorough review to ensure the model meets all project specifications.

Visualization and Analysis: Using advanced visualization tools, we create realistic simulations to demonstrate the retrofit's impact on your existing facility. Clash detection analysis helps identify and resolve any conflicts between new and existing elements, ensuring a smooth retrofit process.

Documentation and Deliverables: From the 3D model, we generate 2D drawings and detailed documentation, providing comprehensive reports and visualizations for all stakeholders. We deliver the final 3D model, point cloud data, and all associated documentation in compatible formats for seamless integration into your systems.

Implementation and Support: We offer training sessions to ensure your team can effectively use the 3D model and associated tools. Throughout the project process, we work closely with your team to integrate the 3D model into your workflow, guiding construction, installation, and verification processes. Our support continues post-project, with maintenance (Management of Change) services to update the 3D model as needed. By leveraging our 3D scanning and modeling services, you can significantly reduce project risks, minimize delays, and keep your projects on budget. At AsBuilt 3D, we provide the precision and reliability needed to transform your industrial projects.
