Power & Utility

Brownfield Precision for Power Generation, Transmission, and Utility Infrastructure

Power generation and utility facilities share the same brownfield challenge as oil and gas: decades of modifications, additions, and replacements that never made it back into the drawings. When a plant outage window is measured in days and the cost of an overrun is immediate and visible, “field verify” is not a risk management strategy.

OnSite3D delivers engineering-grade laser scanning, scan-to-fabrication workflows, and VDC coordination for power and utility operators. Verified conditions before the outage. Fabricated to tolerance. Fit the first time.

Outage Windows Don't Accommodate Field Rework

Planned outages in power generation and utility facilities are expensive to schedule and politically difficult to extend. Every day of unplanned downtime has a direct cost — in lost generation, in contractual penalties, in regulatory exposure.

When a fabrication package is based on incomplete drawings or manual measurements, the risk of a non-fitup event is embedded in the project before construction begins. A spool that doesn’t fit in a planned outage becomes an outage extension. An outage extension in a power facility is not a minor schedule slip.

OnSite3D eliminates that risk by verifying existing conditions before a single piece of steel is cut.

Scan, Coordinate, Fabricate — Built for Planned Outage Execution

OnSite3D works across the full project lifecycle for power and utility operators — from initial as-built capture to full scan-to-fabrication execution.

As-Built Capture & Digital Twin

High-accuracy 3D laser scanning of existing plant infrastructure — boiler rooms, turbine halls, piping systems, structural steel, and tie-in points. Results hosted on WebShare and available to your engineering and maintenance teams from Day 1. One verified source of truth, replacing legacy drawings that haven’t kept pace with plant modifications.

Scan-to-Fabrication

Point cloud registered against the design model, deviations flagged before fabrication. Spools and structural components fabricated in our RoboFab facility — ABSA AQP certified across CS, SS, Monel, and Inconel. Laser QA before every piece ships. First-time fit-up planned and delivered.

Virtual Assemblies & 4D Simulation

Digital fit-up validation before the outage window opens. Rigging paths, equipment installation sequencing, access and clearance validation — resolved in the model so field execution proceeds without improvisation.

Turnaround & STO Support

Pre-outage conditions capture and scope validation, in-outage dimensional support for tie-in issues, and post-outage as-built capture to close the record for the next maintenance cycle.

Why Power and Utility Operators Choose OS3D

Outage Window Discipline

OnSite3D’s workflow is built around the constraint that makes power and utility work unforgiving: the outage window is fixed, the cost of overrun is immediate, and field rework is not an acceptable contingency. Verified conditions and pre-validated fit-up are the baseline, not the aspiration.

Complete Coverage of Complex Plant Environments

Turbine halls, boiler rooms, and utility infrastructure present the same access and congestion challenges as refinery process units. Our scan teams have experience in these environments — we capture what engineering needs, including areas other survey approaches miss.

Fabrication to Certified Tolerances

ABSA AQP certified across CS, SS, Monel, and Inconel. Laser QA on every spool before it leaves our shop. 94.36% in-tolerance documented on CN-1001. The quality record follows the deliverable.

One Vendor from Scan to Installed

Scan, VDC, engineering, and fabrication under one contract. No handoff chain between a survey firm, a drafter, and a fabricator. When something needs to change mid-project, there’s one phone number.
