Accurate As-Builts | Process Piping Models
Arrival 3D offers expert 3D laser scanning services for factories and industrial facilities across the U.S. Using advanced LiDAR technology, we deliver high-resolution point clouds, CAD models, and BIM deliverables to support renovation, expansion, and maintenance planning and equipment installation planning.
Whether you’re modernizing process piping, adding equipment, or planning facility upgrades, we help you eliminate guesswork, reduce downtime, and avoid costly errors.
Why Use 3D Laser Scanning for Process Piping?
If your role involves producing as-built CAD models of complex industrial environments, 3D scanning is a game-changer. Our technology allows you to:
Every factory scan project is scoped to your exact needs. Here’s what we can deliver individually or as a complete package.
Intelligent 3D CAD models of your facility in AutoCAD or Plant 3D pipes, equipment, structures, and clearances accurately modeled from scan data.
Raw scan data delivered as full-color point clouds (RCP, E57, RCS). Use directly in your design software for measurements, clash detection, and virtual site walks.
LOD 200–400 BIM models built from your scan data in Autodesk Revit. Perfect for facility management, renovation projects, and digital twin creation.
Interactive 360° virtual walkthroughs and digital twin models of your facility usable for training, planning, and remote collaboration.
Detailed models of process piping systems pipe sizes, routing, elevations, and supports ready for engineering or replacement planning.
Clean, dimensioned 2D drawings, plan views, sections, and elevations extracted directly from scan data. Accurate to ±2mm.
If you need an as-built CAD model of your process piping and equipment?
Save time and increase accuracy with Arrival 3D’s 3D laser scanning services. Our high-precision scans deliver accurate as-built CAD models, allowing your engineers to confidently design and route new piping and equipment around existing structures. With more precise engineering, you’ll reduce construction issues, avoid costly delays, and minimize change orders.
Inaccurate floor plans and as-built drawings are one of the biggest sources of project delays, change orders, and rework in industrial facilities. 3D laser scanning eliminates the guesswork entirely.
Our Leica and FARO scanners achieve ±2mm accuracy across your entire facility capturing every pipe, beam, conduit, and piece of equipment exactly as it exists.
Our tripod-mounted scanners operate safely around running equipment and personnel. We schedule around your shifts with no interruption to your operations, ever.
Accurate as-builts mean your engineers design confidently around existing conditions. Fewer surprises in the field = fewer change orders and lower project costs.
What would take a survey crew days to manually measure, a single scanner captures in hours with more detail, more accuracy, and at a fraction of the cost.
We deliver point clouds and models compatible with AutoCAD, Plant 3D, Revit, Navisworks, PDMS, SmartPlant, and more. Your team gets data they can actually use.
We have scanning crews across the US and can mobilize to your facility within 48 hours. Whether it's a single building or a multi-site program, we scale with your needs.
New software tools allow you to utilize point clouds directly and easily. Point clouds are the raw data that is collected from the scanner. In the past, expensive and/or cumbersome software was needed to work with point clouds. But now, there are many things you can do with just the raw scan data, making 3D scanning an incredible value.
