challenges faced

Interferences and Rework in Construction and Assembly Projects

Unidentified interferences in the engineering phase often result in significant deviations and rework during construction and assembly. Our approach, using reality capture and BIM modeling, guarantees greater precision in projects and compatibility of disciplines, reducing risks, delays, and extra costs throughout the process.

Compliance with Regulatory Standards and Supervision

Compliance with standards such as NR12, NR13, and ANP requirements is essential to avoid penalties and ensure safe operations. With reality capture technologies and digital twins, we document each asset, facilitating surveillance and ensuring that all regulatory requirements are met, minimizing risks and promoting efficiency and safety in the field.

Construction Monitoring and Measurement, Including As-Built Underground Systems

Ensuring accuracy in the monitoring of works and in the documentation of underground systems is essential to avoid future problems. With drones, laser scanning and photogrammetry, we capture the evolution of the work in real time and create the as-built underground systems at the time of installation, ensuring accurate documentation for maintenance, safety and compliance with the project.

Discrepancies between Engineering Documents and Field Assets

Discrepancies between P&IDs, engineering documents, and the actual state of assets generate rework, failures, and non-compliance risks. With laser scanning and field verification, we ensure that your “as-built” documentation is always up to date, reliable, and accessible, reducing risks and increasing engineering and maintenance efficiency.

Solution journey
Frequently Asked Questions
  • Laser scanning allows you to capture a physical environment with high precision, generating a detailed digital replica (point cloud). This reduces project errors, streamlines maintenance, and facilitates decisions based on real data. In addition, it is the best way to start building a dimensionally correct digital twin, combined with BIM modeling, creating an excellent digital infrastructure of existing assets, ready to incorporate the main technologies and innovations of industry 4.0, such as IoT, AI, AR, VR and digital transformation, without losing focus on supporting engineering and maintenance projects.

  • After the initial contact, our team performs a preliminary analysis and defines the specific needs for your project. According to your needs, we can work from laser scanning to consulting for digital asset management. You will be accompanied at every stage, with specialists who have been in this segment for more than 15 years, to ensure the maximum efficiency of your project.

  • Yes! In addition to the initial delivery, we can carry out continuous monitoring, with periodic updates of the digital twin to reflect changes in facilities and training to empower your team. This way, you get the most out of our solution and keep your operation up to date at all times.

    Our support may also include access to specialists whenever you need it. With Virtual Plant, you have the security of a long-term partnership, ensuring maximum return on investment and the peace of mind of always being ahead.

  • The cost varies according to the size, complexity of the project, and the products to be delivered. In many cases, the amount is compatible with the OPEX expenses of an industrial operation, whether for engineering processes, maintenance, or operations.
