Industrial — Plant Upgrade

Energy Processing Plant

The result

New plant planned into a restricted, hazardous site, with every area checked in VR so no components conflicted.

The challenge

What the project required

The upgrades to this plant required meticulous planning from the start to meet all the client's requirements and seamlessly integrate the new structure and facilities into the existing site.

Access to all areas was restricted by existing pipework and hazardous materials being contained and processed on site.

Our approach

What we captured and produced

3D modelling of the site was invaluable from a space planning perspective. Drone surveys allowed every aspect to be photographed and modelled, ensuring all elements were within space allocations and constraints.

Drone footage was used to create a 3D point cloud of the overall site showing the details and location of all elements to be retained.

A detailed CAD model of the proposed building and engineering plant was created incorporating all required elements, then combined with the point cloud information to create an in-situ full digital site model.

VR software then gave access to all areas for a detailed insight of each area, ensuring no components were conflicting.
