3D Plant Modelling

CGS specializes in 3D Modelling and we have advanced workflows and libraries for Modeling Plant from Point Cloud. We can produce many different file formats and, depending on your requirements, we can try to maximize compatibility with your workflow to deliver a product that is as efficient as possible.

It is important to specify the exact accuracy and Level of Detail (LOD) specification when a 3D As-Built Plant Model is requested. If the specification has very small tolerances (i.e. 3D Model compared to the Real Life Object), it can be time-consuming to model precisely, and this will increase the price of the service. If the accuracy requirements can be relaxed slightly and still meet the specification, it can make substantial differences in the time taken to model hundreds of plant objects like flanges and valves.

We prefer to consult with our clients before a large project to define the exact accuracy and Level of Detail (LOD) requirements to deliver a 3D Model that is as Efficient and Cost Effective as possible. We understand that every project is different, and we are committed to working with our clients to develop a solution that meets their specific needs and budget.

Depending on your requirements, a typical plant model can include piping, valves, flanges, vessels, equipment, concrete bases, structural steel, etc. Unlike most companies that offer similar services, we are not restricted to a single plant design package that is usually incompatible with your software. 

We develop generic plant libraries that maximise compatibility with your plant design software while fitting objects precisely to the Point Cloud. CGS offers many other ways of representing as-built data of the Plant and often gets requests for accompanying documents like Equipment Arrangements, Isometrics, Fabrication Drawings, Deformation Reports, etc., with the 3D Plant Model.
