BIM for Industry
Keep Your Facility Under Control with an Always Up-to-Date Digital Model
Monitor, analyze, and manage your asset data remotely. Improve maintenance and asset management while working with accurate information throughout every stage of the facility’s lifecycle.
Our team of engineers combines advanced technology with industrial engineering expertise to deliver precise, efficient, and functional solutions.
Where Industrial Projects Face Their Biggest Challenges
Plant drawings are often outdated. They show how the facility was built, not how it exists today
When it's time to expand or renovate, no one knows what's behind that wall or where that pipe actually runs
Maintenance teams rely on paper records and institutional knowledge. Asset traceability is virtually nonexistent. ⭐
Digitizing an industrial facility goes far beyond creating a 3D model.
The real value lies in having a single, reliable, and up-to-date source of information. When teams work with outdated drawings or incomplete surveys, every renovation or expansion project starts from scratch, increasing errors, delays, and project costs.
That’s why every project begins with capturing the facility’s existing conditions. Using this data, we develop an operational digital model that combines accurate geometry with technical asset information, supporting design, operations, and maintenance throughout the entire asset lifecycle.
How We Apply BIM Methodology in Industry
Integrated Digitalization for Complex Industrial Facilities. Better Collaboration. Higher Productivity.
Monitor, analyze, and manage asset data remotely. Improve operations and maintenance while working with accurate information throughout every stage of the facility's lifecycle.
Our team of engineers combines advanced technology with industrial engineering expertise to deliver precise, efficient, and functional solutions.
BIM methodology in industrial projects always follows the same process:
We digitize industrial facilities using 3D laser scanning, Mobile Mapping, and drone technology, generating high-precision point clouds for engineering, refurbishment, and asset management.
We develop coordinated BIM models that integrate structural elements, MEP systems, piping, and process equipment into a single digital environment.
We integrate asset information into the BIM model to streamline operations and maintenance.
The result is an operational digital model that centralizes all facility information within a single digital environment, streamlining asset management, operations, and maintenance.

BIM for Industrial Plants: What Changes with an Up-to-Date Digital Model
Most industrial plants rely on documentation that no longer reflects the existing conditions. Original drawings show how the facility was built, but after years of modifications and expansions, the exact location of pipework, equipment, and concealed services is often unknown.
This has a direct impact on every engineering project:
- Hours Spent on Manual Data Collection
- Approximate Measurements
- Unexpected issues on site that have to be resolved on the spot.
With an up-to-date digital model, your engineering team works with accurate, real-world data. Renovation and expansion projects are designed around the facility as it actually exists, not as it was originally built. Potential clashes between disciplines are identified in the model before work begins on site. Meanwhile, maintenance teams have access to a centralized asset inventory instead of relying on outdated files that are rarely updated.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Using NavVis VLX Mobile Mapping, we can scan facilities while production continues uninterrupted. The system moves through the plant without the need to stop production lines, shut down equipment, or restrict access to operational areas. This is one of the main reasons why we recommend this technology for active industrial environments.
Only in very specific cases—such as when moving equipment directly interferes with the scanning process—do we schedule dedicated scanning windows. These requirements are identified and planned during the initial site visit.
Yes. With NavVis VLX mobile mapping, we scan while the plant remains operational. The equipment moves through the facility without the need to shut down production lines, disconnect systems, or clear out areas. This is one of the main reasons we recommend this technology for active industrial environments.
Only in very specific cases involving moving equipment that directly interferes with the scanner do we agree on specific time slots. We plan this during the preliminary site visit.
The timeframe depends on the size, complexity, and accessibility of the facility, as well as the scope of the deliverables. Reality capture is typically completed in a short period, while processing the data and developing the digital model takes longer.
Before starting the project, we assess your facility and provide a clear execution plan and delivery schedule tailored to your requirements
