Frequently Asked Questions About 3D Scanning

Pricing depends on project size, complexity, and location. Contact us for a free quote tailored to your specific project needs. As a Calgary-based company, we do not charge travel premiums for local projects.

3D laser scanning captures millions of precise data points to create accurate digital models of facilities. This technology enables virtual site visits, as-built documentation, clash detection, and BIM integration - all without the safety risks of repeated physical site access.

Scan time depends on facility size and complexity. A typical compressor station or commercial building can be scanned in 1-2 days. Larger facilities may take 3-5 days. Processing and modeling typically takes 1-2 weeks depending on deliverable requirements.

We provide point cloud data, 3D BIM models, 2D drawings, piping isometrics, structural details, P&IDs, and NWD models. Our data hosting service allows your team and contractors to access and measure from the point cloud without specialized software.

Yes, we create fully coordinated BIM models from scan data using Cadworx and Plant 3D. These models integrate seamlessly with your engineering workflows and enable clash detection, virtual construction sequencing, and accurate material takeoffs.
