LIDAR scanning, point clouds and BIM for digital twins
LIDAR surveys, point cloud processing and BIM models for digital twins.
What we do
LIDAR scanning of existing facilities: rooms, sheds, hatcheries, processing plants and civil works.
Point cloud processing: registration, cleaning, segmentation and processing in CloudCompare, delivered as light, sector-organised clouds.
BIM modelling in Revit over the point cloud, with coordinated hydraulic and plumbing networks, equipment, structure and architecture.
Digital twins: the as-built BIM model, with data for every item of equipment and network, becomes the basis for operation, maintenance and future expansions. We also deliver IFC models and on-site augmented reality.
When you need it
- When a facility must be modified and there are no reliable drawings.
- When several disciplines share tight spaces.
- When the owner wants a digital twin to operate the facility and plan expansions.

Frequently asked questions
What is a digital twin?
A 3D model of a facility as it is actually built, carrying data for its equipment and networks. It supports maintenance and expansion planning without relying on outdated drawings.
