Use Case

Reality Capture + Asset Information Modeling

Manufacturing, Factory, Production Plant

PMI was asked to participate in a pump station renovation in which asset and building life cycle management were high priority. Capturing post demolition conditions with terrestrial laser scanning assisted with the design process, and scanning final construction validated construction, graduating the design documents to as record drawing relevant for management of the building life cycle. The record drawings feature asset data such as model information and serial numbers for major equipment, key information for maintenance and repair.
