Did you know that you can scan virtually any part of your plant or factory? From tight spaces to large outdoor structures, laser scanners can pick up every small pipe, valve, duct, and conduit in exceptional detail. In fact there is really no limit to the number of pipes and objects a scanner scan capture. If it can be seen, it can be scanned. This is why scanning within complex industrial environments is an incredible value. We understand that the stakes are high for industrial engineering projects, and offer several results that are catered to industrial projects

Industrial 3D laser scanning services deliver high-precision measurements and accurate models of physical spaces, enabling smarter planning, upgrades, and ongoing facility management. By using laser beams to generate dense point clouds, our team creates deliverables that support design, construction, and operations—without the need for repeated site visits.
At Arrival 3D, we deploy industrial-grade laser scanners built to perform in the most demanding environments. Whether it’s deep within a processing facility or in hard-to-access areas, our scanners capture every detail—including piping, conduit, and small mechanical features that are often overlooked. Our rugged equipment is designed to withstand extreme heat, cold, moisture, and vibration. With long-lasting battery power, we can complete extended scans in remote or power-restricted locations—ensuring nothing stands in the way of capturing critical data.
When you need to make changes to existing equipment, an accurate 3D as-built model can be invaluable to plan piping routes, specify equipment sizes and order parts. The CAD model produced by the 3D laser scanning process can have as much or as little detail as desired.
CAD models will be optimized for usability, in that they should not be so large and heavy as to slow down or freeze your computer. Items in the CAD model can appear in layers, and you have the option to include or exclude any type of item from the process to make the most of your budget. For example, many customers exclude conduit because it’s not important to their project.

At Arrival 3D, we understand that safety comes first—especially in complex industrial environments. Our 3D scanning technicians are highly trained in industrial safety protocols and come equipped with the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to meet site-specific requirements. Every technician has undergone extensive safety training to ensure full compliance with your facility’s standards and procedures.
Beyond our team’s preparation, laser scanning itself promotes a safer work environment. By capturing accurate measurements and visuals remotely, we reduce the need for manual measurements, repeated walkthroughs, and prolonged exposure to hazardous equipment. This not only minimizes risk but also increases efficiency—helping your team stay safe while staying on schedule.
A digital twin walk through can be created as a result of a 3D laser scan. An industrial plant has so much equipment and information that a digital twin can really be a great productivity tool. Simply being able to navigate and walk around the plant virtually, viewing high quality panoramic images, is a great enough benefit in itself to justify the cost of laser scanning. There is no telling exactly how your organization will use it, we just know that once your team members start using it, they will discover many great uses. But beyond the simple walk through capability, there is a gold mine of tools available to extend the capability of the digital twin.
These tools revolve around embedding or linking information within the digital twin, so that users can seek and find information that would otherwise be difficult to find. Also, displaying real time information within the digital twin is a very exciting possibility.
Are you interested in a large scale plant scan requiring potentially thousands of scans? We have the experience, equipment, and personnel to handle it. We can work with plant survey coordinates and align our scanning process with your facility’s operational needs.
Success in large industrial scanning projects relies on detailed planning, strong coordination, and organized execution. t Arrival 3D, we break down complex scopes into manageable phases—carefully tracking scan activities, planning each stage, and maintaining clear communication throughout the process. Our approach is grounded in practical management and simplicity, ensuring that even the most demanding projects are handled efficiently. We always work with a forward-thinking mindset, aiming to deliver data that not only meets current needs but also supports future project phases and team workflows.
The cost of industrial 3D laser scanning services typically ranges from $3,000 to $10,000+ per project, depending on factors such as facility size, complexity, location, and deliverables (e.g., point cloud, 2D CAD, or BIM model). For larger industrial sites like plants or refineries, pricing may be based on square footage, often between $0.50 to $2.00 per sq. ft. or billed daily per technician.
