For VDC leads / engineering-grade point cloud data
One model, from scan to installed
Your coordination is only as good as the existing-conditions data under it. We capture engineering-grade point clouds registered to your design model, coordinate against them, and fabricate from the same model. One workflow, not three vendors handing files back and forth.
What the scan is built for
Scan data built for coordination, not just visualization
A point cloud that only looks right on screen still fails at the spool. Ours is captured, registered, and reported to the tolerance fabrication actually needs.
Engineering-grade point cloud capture
High-accuracy LiDAR built for industrial facilities. Complete coverage of congested pipe racks, restricted-access areas, and the tie-in geometry that drives fabrication. Registered to your design coordinate system and live on WebShare from Day 1.
Scan-to-model registration and deviation reporting
We register the point cloud against your design model and show you where the field diverges from what the design assumed. Clashes and constructability issues get caught before fabrication, at desk cost instead of field cost.
Constructability-driven coordination
We coordinate for the install, not for a tidy model. What comes out is a fabrication package built to go together in the actual facility, with each handoff set up to make the next step easier.
Third-party scan data ingestion
Already sitting on point cloud data? We take it in, verify it is within tolerance, and run it through our coordination and fabrication workflow. Scan-to-Fab and Virtual Assemblies are not limited to sites we scanned ourselves.
The root cause
In brownfield work, the input is the problem
Most brownfield coordination failures trace back to one thing: the existing-conditions data was not good enough to build from. The model gets built on that foundation, catches some clashes, misses others, and the misses turn up at installation, where they cost the most to fix.

Why it holds all the way to the field
Coordination that closes the loop to fabrication
A pure coordination consultant hands you a model and stops. We keep going, to the parts that install in your facility, off the same data.
Scan quality that holds up at the spool
When the scan sets your spool dimensions, it has to be right to the millimeter, not just close enough to look good on screen. We capture and register to fabrication tolerance, because we are the ones fabricating from it.
Deviation reports you can act on
We do not just tell you a clash exists. We tell you what it does to the fabrication package, why it matters for constructability, and what has to get resolved before steel is cut. The report helps you decide, not just document a problem.
Fabrication runs from it too
Fabrication can run straight from the coordination output through ABSA AQP certified partner shops, set up for first-time fit-up. A coordination partner who hands you installable parts is a different relationship than a consultant who hands you a model.
One model the whole way through
Scanning, registration, coordination, simulation, and engineering run as one workflow, with fabrication released to certified partner shops from that same output. No vendor-to-vendor handoffs to introduce translation error. The model you coordinate is the model that gets fabricated.
Proof the loop closes
Proof the loop closes
When the scan drives the spool, the only score that matters is how it fits in the field.

The full workflow
What OS3D brings to a VDC-led project
Scan, coordination, and fabrication under one roof. Every step feeds the next off the same model, so nothing gets lost in a vendor handoff.
3D laser scanning
Engineering-grade point cloud registered to your design coordinate system, with full coverage in congested and restricted-access areas.
VDC coordination
Registration, deviation reporting, and clash detection aimed at fabrication outcomes, not just a cleaner model.
Virtual assemblies and 4D simulation
Fit-up validation, sequencing, rigging-path studies, and clearance checks before crews mobilize.
Scan-to-fabrication
Fabrication packages built from verified coordination data, released to ABSA AQP certified partner shops for first-time fit-up.
Brownfield engineering and MRO Support
CWPs and tie-in packages developed off the coordinated model, with the engineering deliverable owned by us.
Third-party data ingestion
Your existing point cloud data, tolerance-verified and pulled into our coordination and fabrication workflow.
