3D Laser Scanning Services for Oil & Gas in Nigeria
Our experienced team of Laser Scanning experts and front-line technology, we provide a detailed oriented 3D Laser scan and point cloud of fixed and floating oil and gas installations. We are capable of digitalizing offshore and onshore facilities using industry best practices and facilities.
With Laser Technology, we are able to provide a “Digitized facility” which can be easily viewed remotely, dimensions and other facility details can be extracted to provide detailed information for planning purposes.
We are able to generate detailed isometrics of structures, piping, mechanical, instrument, control, equipment and general arrangement drawings (GAs) as required to meet our client’s needs.
Frequently Asked Questions — 3D Laser Scanning in Nigeria
What is 3D laser scanning and how is it used in oil and gas?
3D laser scanning captures the precise geometry of structures, pipelines, and equipment using laser pulses to create a dense point cloud. In oil and gas, it is used for as-built documentation, plant integrity assessments, clash detection, and brownfield engineering design.
What software does Alpha Bravo use for 3D laser scan processing?
Alpha Bravo uses AVEVA (formerly Aveva PDMS), Leica Cyclone, and AutoCAD Plant 3D for point cloud processing, modelling, and deliverable production — covering P&IDs, isometrics, and 3D plant models.
How accurate is 3D laser scanning for brownfield projects?
Modern terrestrial laser scanners achieve accuracies of ±2–6mm at typical industrial ranges. This is significantly more accurate than manual measurement and eliminates return site visits for dimension queries.
Can Alpha Bravo deliver 3D laser scanning on offshore platforms in Nigeria?
Yes. Alpha Bravo has experience delivering 3D laser scanning on offshore platforms and onshore facilities across Nigeria. Our teams mobilise from Lagos and Port Harcourt operational bases.
