3D Laser Scanning

Our high-precision LiDAR 3D laser scanning technology captures the true as-built condition of piping systems and process areas with sub-millimeter accuracy.
PTG transforms these detailed point clouds into an intelligent digital twin, giving you a complete, measurable model of your facility that forms the foundation for stress analysis, retrofit design, and construction planning.
By integrating real-world data into engineering workflows, we help clients reduce field rework, improve accuracy, and make faster, data-driven decisions.

• Speed
  A single laser scanner can capture up to two million 3D data points per second, documenting your entire piping network in hours instead of days.
• Accuracy
  Hand-held or tape measurements are prone to human error. LiDAR scanning delivers millimeter-level accuracy, ensuring every flange, elevation, and offset is measured exactly as it exists.
• Reduced Costs & Change Orders
  Accurate, complete scan data helps eliminate field-fit errors, unplanned change orders, and project delays — saving time and material costs during fabrication or modification.
• Comprehensive Data Capture
  No need to revisit the site for missed dimensions. Each scan captures hundreds of millions of points, providing data to answer unforeseen questions long after the fieldwork is done.
• Minimal Downtime
  Scanning is fast, safe, and non-intrusive, often performed while systems remain in operation — reducing or avoiding costly shutdowns.
• Enhanced Safety
  Measurements are obtained from the ground, keeping personnel out of hazardous areas, at heights, or near hot equipment.
