Our 3D scanning provides as-built drawings of your facility with precise measurements and pictures, allowing you to make quicker and better-informed decisions for future expansions or maintenance. Having these plans allows:

  • Alternative analyses for improvements
  • Understanding of how to create a new higher revenue operating system
  • Development of plant upgrade scenarios by modeling different options in Autodesk® AutoCAD® 3D software
3D Surpac Model
