The Oil & Gas and Process & Power industries are very asset intensive, with high running and maintenance costs. Having up to date accurate information on these assets allows for vastly improvement management and decision making. However trying to gather the relevant information and make it accessible to the right stakeholders is big challenge. With the development of 3d laser scanning for fast asset documentation combined with 3d CAD databases Digital Surveys can provide a full enterprise level asset management solution.

Whether you’re building a new plant or modifying an existing one, valid and up-to-date information is one of your most valuable assets. An intelligent plant lifecycle management solution can help you manage and integrate powerful data across your facility to optimize construction and maintenance  operations from design to decommissioning.

Once a 3D model of the existing site has been constructed it can then be used as the central point to link and access any documentation.

The possible uses and applications are wide reaching and will vary from plants. Some of the specific applications include monitoring corrosion degradation, site snagging information and reporting, streamlined communication of design/review information, more efficient processing and documenting of work orders, and training for disaster response.
