3D scanning

Digital twin creation and precision data capture

At Line Engineering Solutions, we utilise 3D laser scanning to capture highly accurate as-built data, transforming complex physical assets into intelligent digital twins. This precision data is fundamental to strategic maintenance, asset integrity assessments, and informed engineering modifications.

We don't just capture data—we deliver the foundation for operational certainty, allowing you to accurately design around, modify, and manage your critical assets.

Turning data into proactive solutions

Our 3D scanning service provides a range of high-value benefits, dramatically improving the efficiency, accuracy, and compliance of your engineering projects.

• Asset management and planning: The creation of an accurate digital twin facilitates efficient shutdown task planning, reduces inspection errors, and supports effective, proactive maintenance schedules.
• Optimising site efficiency: Our scans significantly speed up site assessment and reduce downtime during maintenance by providing real-time, precise data for accurate repair plans and faster issue resolution.
• Simplified reverse engineering: We capture precise component geometry for creating replacement or modified parts without needing original specifications. This is essential for reproduction, system modification, and detailed component analysis.
• Quality control and inspection: We compare a manufactured part against its original CAD model to rapidly identify any defects, deviations, or deformities, ensuring the final product meets the strictest specifications.
• Compliance and record-keeping: 3D scanning facilitates the creation of detailed, auditable records for regulatory compliance with UK standards, supporting future maintenance, retrofits, and upgrades.

Visualising modification and design

Our capability extends beyond simple data capture. We integrate the scan data with engineering design software, enabling us to overlay new designs directly onto the existing 'as-built' environment.

This process allows us to demonstrate our ability to accurately design and plan complex modifications—such as new pipe runs or structural additions—with zero risk of clash, ensuring seamless installation and a perfect fit on site.
