Engineering-Integrated Execution Support
Connect Group integrates advanced 3D laser scanning into engineering, fabrication, and field execution to improve accuracy, reduce risk, and enhance project certainty.
Using our Trimble X7 scanner — featuring automatic calibration and ±2mm accuracy at 80 meters — CGI captures high-resolution as-built data to support clash detection, planning, and verification before fabrication or construction begins.
Key Applications
Clash Detection & As-Built Validation
3D models are overlaid with scan data to identify interferences early, enabling fabrication adjustments before installation. This approach has reduced rework, eliminated unnecessary crane lifts, and improved fit-up accuracy across steam header replacements, hopper relining scopes, and tank outages.
Pre-Job Planning & Lift Strategy Optimization
Scan data supports detailed rigging plans, access strategy development, equipment placement, and plot plan validation. As-built modeling enhances lift studies and site layout planning to reduce execution risk during turnarounds and outages.
Structural & Crane Modifications
Scanning enables scaffold-free design and installation of monorails, walkways, and jib cranes. Rail tolerances can be validated, and post-install compliance confirmed through precision verification.
