As-Built Documentation & Plant Data Digitisation

We clean up, correct, and digitise your legacy plant drawings and data formats. Raw laser scans become clean 3D CAD models, redlined markups become updated master files, and legacy PDFs become intelligent, tagged drawings, all delivered as an auditable data package.

The Legacy Challenge

Overcoming fragmented data across brownfield assets

Operating plants frequently suffer from decades of uncoordinated physical changes and inconsistent document archives.

Messy CAD folders

Multiple file versions, no naming convention, no single source of truth for "the current drawing."

Outdated paper blueprints

Original drawings pre-date the CAD era, or exist only as scanned, unsearchable PDFs.

Unorganized raw scans

Laser scan data sitting as an unregistered point cloud, never converted into a usable model.

Core Capabilities

3D CAD Modeling Services We Offer

From unregistered laser scans to legacy paper archives, we transform incomplete data into verified, compliant engineering assets.

LASER SCAN PROCESSING
  • Registration and cleanup of raw point cloud data from any major scanner format (.e57, .pts, .ptx, .rcp).
  • Conversion into 3D CAD geometry: piping, structural steel, equipment, cable tray.
  • Delivered as dumb geometry (visualization, clash checks) or upgraded to intelligent BIM objects on request.
  • Formats: .rvt, .dwg, .ifc, .nwd, native point cloud retained on request.
DRAWING CORRECTION
  • Field redline and markup incorporation into the master CAD file.
  • Legacy 2D drawing cleanup: layer standardization, title block correction, revision control.
  • Multi-version reconciliation when several "final" copies exist with no clear authority.
  • Key output: a single, current, audit-traceable master drawing set.
LEGACY DOCUMENT CONVERSION
  • Scanned or PDF-only P&IDs converted into tagged, database-linked intelligent drawings.
  • Line list and equipment tag extraction, cross-checked against the source document.
  • Compatible output for AVEVA P&ID, AutoCAD Plant 3D, and SmartPlant P&ID environments.
  • Key output: a searchable, database-connected P&ID your engineers can actually query.
QUALITY & HANDOVER
  • Full as-built drawing sets: general arrangement, isometrics, sections, updated to final field condition.
  • Data compliance reports mapped to your handover checklist or client specification.
  • Format standardization across a full document set before handover to operations.
  • Key output: a closeout package that passes a document audit on first submission.
Point Cloud to 3D

Point Cloud to 3D Outsourcing

Our scanning specialists register raw spatial datasets and extract highly accurate engineering geometry for retrofit planning, tie-in verification, and brownfield modifications.

Multi-station point cloud registration with sub-centimeter accuracy targets
Geometry extraction for piping, structural steel, ducting, and equipment
Delivered in the CAD/BIM format your downstream team already works in
Optional upgrade to intelligent, tagged BIM objects for operations use

Quality Assurance

Zero-Defect Audit Handover

We do not just redraw legacy files—our multi-tier quality control verifies tags, layer hierarchies, and dimensional consistency against physical reality.

  • Full revision control with stamped title blocks
  • Tagged database cross-referencing for line lists
  • ISO 19650 compliant container structuring
  • Document audit clearance on first submission
Trust & Rigor

We deliver documentation you can trust

Eliminate field uncertainties, contractor rework, and regulatory audit non-conformances with verified plant documentation.

Source-Verified Output

Every conversion is checked against the original scan or document, not just visually reviewed.

Any Format In, Standard Format Out

Paper, PDF, raw point cloud, or legacy CAD, delivered in the format your handover checklist requires.

Scoped to Data Volume

A single P&ID or a plant-wide scan, priced against the actual dataset, not a flat day rate.

Compliance Reporting Included

A data compliance report mapped to your specification ships with every closeout package.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions regarding plant scanning datasets, BIM conversions, and pricing models.

Either. If you already have raw scan data, we process it directly. If you need the physical scan done first, that's coordinated as part of a Brownfield Engineering engagement, since the scan is usually tied to a design purpose in that case.
Point cloud to 3D produces geometry, shapes that match what was scanned, useful for visualization and clash checks. Scan-to-BIM goes further, tagging each object with real properties (material, spec, connections) so it can be queried by an operations or maintenance system. We scope the output to which one you actually need.
Yes. Paper and scanned PDF are common starting points for both CAD drawing updates and intelligent P&ID conversion. We digitise from source rather than requiring an existing digital file.
Against the actual dataset: number of drawings, point cloud file size, or scan area, not a flat day rate. A scoping review of your data comes before any fixed-fee quote.
