The problems we get hired for

Old steel, hard access, short windows.

A terminal has the same problem as a jobsite — the people who need to see it are rarely standing on it — plus a few construction never has: half the facility is decades older than its drawings, the parts worth looking at are high, hot or hard to reach, and the only time anything is open is a window somebody paid dearly for.

“The revamp engineer wants a model of a unit built in 1978.”

How we solve it

Laser scanning while the unit runs, registered into a point cloud — and where the project calls for it, scan-to-BIM or scan-to-CAD modelling of the racks, vessels and structure. Tie-in packages get engineered against as-found geometry, and the new skid gets clash-checked against the rack it has to fit before fabrication cuts steel.

“Getting eyes on the flare tip means scaffold, rope access, or a shutdown.”

How we solve it

A drone visual pass returns high-resolution imagery of the stack, the tank shells and the rack while the plant keeps running — and your qualified people read it from a desk instead of a harness.

“The turnaround is the only look inside we get for four years.”

How we solve it

Documentation while exchangers are pulled and lines are open — what was found, what was replaced, what went back — indexed by unit and date, sitting in the record when the next planner scopes the next outage.

“Forty sites, three counties, one person responsible for all of them.”

How we solve it

One crew on a route: orthomosaics of every terminal and tank farm for planning, 360 records of compressor stations, all of it indexed by site and date and visible from one desk.
