3D Site Surveys & Scanning

Overview

Accurate site data integrated into engineering and design.

Accurate site data is one of the most important drivers of success on brownfield projects, where offshore facilities are constantly changing. ICON combines high-accuracy 3D scanning and point cloud capture with in-house drafting, modelling and visualisation to turn site data into reliable engineering input, supporting clash detection, interface verification and fit-for-purpose design. This improves overall project management and execution effectiveness.

Our Expertise

Point cloud capture, modelling and visualisation that improve constructability.

Captured data also supports post-fabrication verification, confirming that fabricated works align with design intent before load-out and offshore integration. The resulting 3D models feed into real-time visualisation and animation, supporting constructability reviews, safety planning and stakeholder alignment. Together, this reduces late-stage change, improves technical assurance and supports faster approvals. Our in-house team works closely with fabrication, installation and operations personnel to keep designs practical, buildable and ready for execution.

FAQs

Common questions about our 3D site surveys and scanning.

We deliver accurate point cloud data and survey outputs to create 3D models for measurement, verification, design development, interface checks and constructibility reviews.

We create accurate 3D models to verify dimensions, identify clashes, assess interfaces and develop designs around actual site conditions rather than assumptions or outdated drawings.

Yes. Point cloud data can support post-fabrication verification, load-out readiness, tie-ins and other execution-critical activities where interface accuracy matters.

Early in a project, before detailed design or fabrication, especially where brownfields constraints, limited documentation or complex interfaces increase uncertainty risk.
