Process technology survey

A process technology survey is the documentation of existing industrial installations: piping, tanks, equipment, valves and control systems. The goal is to create a reliable database that supports modernization, audits, technological changes or regulatory compliance.

Why is a technology survey difficult?

• Installations often operate for decades and no one holds up-to-date documentation.
• The design documentation does not match the as-built reality.
• Construction and repair changes were never recorded.
• Spaces are hard to reach and dangerous for manual measurements.

How do we carry out a technology survey?

1. 3D scanning: precise measurement of installations, piping and structures.
2. Modelling: reconstruction of the geometry and position of equipment in a 3D model.
3. Process documentation: description, specifications, technical parameters.
4. Versioning: cooperation with Simon Lab allows changes and updates to be tracked.

Benefits of a technology survey

Thanks to a comprehensive technology survey, an enterprise gains a reliable database for planning modernization, registering changes, training operators and ensuring compliance with regulators' requirements.
