3D Laser Scanning for Industrial & Resources | Australia
Industrial sites change constantly: new racking, relocated equipment, added pipe runs, and expansion bays. Outdated P&IDs and layout drawings create safety and maintenance risk. High-definition scanning captures pipes, steel, equipment, and clearances in one visit, giving operations and engineering teams an accurate digital twin.
We scan manufacturing plants, cold storage, data halls, warehouses, and resource-sector infrastructure across Queensland and interstate. Mobile scanning covers large floor plates quickly; terrestrial LiDAR handles tall structures and external plant.
Challenges
- Operating plants where access is restricted to shutdown windows
- Dense pipe racks and equipment requiring complete coverage
- Floor flatness and racking alignment for logistics upgrades
- Remote mine sites with mobilisation and safety induction requirements
- Deliverables needed in AutoCAD Plant 3D or Revit MEP workflows
How we serve this sector
- Plant and pipe rack scanning for as-built and clash checking
- Warehouse floor flatness analysis and racking layout verification
- Equipment relocation surveys with clearance checks
- Drone stockpile and pit volume surveys for mining clients
- Point cloud and 2D extraction for maintenance and CAPEX planning
Typical projects
Food processing plant expansion as-built
Warehouse racking and aisle clearance survey
Mining processing plant pipe documentation
Cold storage facility floor and roof structure scan
Port bulk handling infrastructure survey
FAQs: Industrial & Resources
Can you scan during partial operations?+
Often yes. We isolate work zones with your permit system and scan one bay or line at a time. For hazardous areas we follow your isolation and gas test procedures. Full shutdown scans give the fastest capture but are not always required.
How fast can you cover a large warehouse?+
NavVis mobile scanning captures walking-speed data on open floor plates. A 10,000 m2 warehouse floor can be captured in under an hour, with terrestrial scans added for high racking and mezzanines. Processing and registration typically take one to three days depending on deliverables.
