Supporting Owner Operators and Engineering companies to digitise their existing assets into a 3D intelligent CAD model. We bring the Digital Asset (Twin) into all of your key stakeholders offices, to save significant time and money on your Decommissioning costs. Each Digital Asset can be tailored with metadata specific to the phase of the Decommissioning WBS. For example, decontamination, flushing & cleaning, air gapping, isolation, estimating, material and quantity takeoffs as well as Advanced Work Packaging.

We also have a specialist team that creates compelling visualisations and animations for videos, Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR) environments. This can include a combination of your point cloud data, drone footage, photogrammetry, or simply that we create your storyboard from nothing. One of the best ways to explain to the regulator and environmental approval applications team, how you are mitigating risk and improving safety outcomes is through video animation services.
