In brief
TCR Engineering Services Pvt. Ltd., Navi Mumbai, offers 3D laser scanning services for industrial plants in India through an external partner whose equipment it is: LiDAR point clouds of pipe racks, reactor areas and offsite tank farms, integrated into CAD and BIM for brownfield revamp planning and booked alongside TCR's own inspection and engineering design review.
How Partner-Delivered 3D Laser Scanning Works
The scanning is carried out by an external partner with its own equipment, and the booking, scope and coordination run through TCR, so the point cloud can feed TCR's inspection and design review work on the same plant. What the service covers:
- Delivery: through an external partner, booked through TCR.
- Capture: LiDAR-based point clouds.
- Application: brownfield revamp planning, with CAD and BIM integration.
- Areas covered: pipe racks, reactor areas and offsite tank farms.
Where Does a Plant Scan Feed TCR's Engineering Work?
A point cloud is worth most when the engineering that follows uses it. Booked through TCR, the scan feeds the asset integrity and engineering consulting work on the same plant, where an as-built record replaces drawings that no longer match what stands on site.
- Brownfield revamp planning: new pipework and equipment laid out against the plant as it stands.
- Legacy data conversion: TCR's engineering design review team converts 2D drawings to 3D models and validates the data.
- Plant and process layout: structural, mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic layouts from TCR's computer-aided design team.
- Tank farms: offsite tank-farm geometry captured alongside storage tank inspection.
- Group reference: TCR Arabia, the group's joint venture in Saudi Arabia, completed a baseline laser scan and remote visual inspection of coker drums at SATORP with CIA Inspection (CIAI) of the United States, its coke drum inspection partner.

Frequently asked questions
Who carries out the 3D laser scanning?
An external partner delivers the scanning with its own equipment; the work is booked through TCR.
What does the scan produce and where is it used?
LiDAR-based point clouds, integrated into CAD and BIM for brownfield revamp planning, covering pipe racks, reactor areas and offsite tank farms.
What is 3D laser scanning used for in an industrial plant?
In an industrial plant, 3D laser scanning records the plant as a LiDAR point cloud, so a brownfield revamp is designed against real geometry rather than drawings that no longer match. Booked through TCR and delivered by an external partner, the scan covers pipe racks, reactor areas and offsite tank farms and is integrated into CAD and BIM.
