Precision Laser Scanning & Reality Capture
Capture Existing Assets with Confidence
Accurate information is the foundation of every successful engineering project. Our high-definition laser scanning services capture millions of precise measurements in minutes, creating an exact digital representation of your facility.
Whether you're planning a plant upgrade, equipment replacement, brownfield modification or complete digital twin, laser scanning provides the reliable as-built information needed to reduce design risk, minimise site visits and eliminate costly surprises during construction.
By combining advanced reality capture technology with experienced multi-discipline engineering, DMD delivers data you can trust and designs that fit first time.
Why Choose Laser Scanning?
Accurate As-Built Information – Capture existing plant exactly as it is.
Reduce Design Risk - Minimise clashes and unforeseen site issues.
Improve Safety - Reduce the need for repeated site visits and hazardous surveys.
Accelerate Projects – Engineers can work from accurate digital data immediately.
Support Brownfield Modifications – Ideal for working within congested existing facilities.
Create Digital Twins – Build a lasting digital record of your assets.
Typical Applications
Existing Plant Surveys
Capture complete facilities before engineering works begin.
Equipment Replacement
Ensure new equipment integrates with existing structures and pipework.
Pipework Modifications
Produce accurate routing information for new piping and tie-ins.
Structural Steel Surveys
Record steelwork and support structures for modification or expansion.
BIM & Digital Twin Creation
Generate intelligent 3D models from real-world data.
Clash Detection
Identify potential conflicts before fabrication and installation.
Shutdown Planning
Maintain an accurate digital record of plant assets throughout their lifecycle.
Structural Steel Surveys
Record steelwork and support structures for modification or expansion.
Why DMD?
Unlike standalone surveying companies, DMD combines precision laser scanning with experienced process, piping, mechanical, structural and EC&I engineering.
That means we don't simply deliver point cloud data - we transform it into practical engineering information that supports design, procurement and construction.
From reality capture through to detailed design and project delivery, everything is managed by one experienced engineering team.
