Mobile + drone
Navigation and Planning
Capture large areas fast with mobile and drone scanning for planning, digitization, and AI.
- Turnaround planning
- Asset inventory
- Scaffold planning
Reality capture
Industry-first laser scanning and reality capture.
Static, mobile, drone and photogrammetry capture inside operating plants, planned around what the data has to do.
Why Ei
Scan once.Use it Everywhere
Jobs Done Right
Technology-led capture planned around your project. Static, mobile, drone and photogrammetry combined to reach every area at the right tolerance, run by crews who know their way around an operating unit.
Exactly What You Need
Whether you need static scanning, mobile scanning, drone scanning, or high quality photogrammetry, we understand your needs and will work with you to select the correct - or hybrid - scanning approach.
Use it Everywhere
Visualize and use your data in all of your existing tools, or use Ei's Ei Everywhere platform to share the data with everyone at the plant.
Applications
Accuracy where it matters, coverage across the whole site.
Fit-for-purpose scanning, planned around what you need.
Static
Projects and Design
Static scanning to dimensional and fabrication tolerance, tied to your plant's coordinate system.
- Capital projects
- Tie-point design
- Fabrication
As-built
As-Builting
Capture as-built conditions to get your P&IDs, isometrics, and 3D models up to date with field conditions.
- P&ID revalidation
- Inspection isometrics
- 3D models
How we work
The unit gets scanned once.
Rescans come from skipped control, skipped platforms and skipped conversations. We don't skip any of them.
Aligned before we mobilize.
Scope, control and deliverable format agreed upfront, with one project manager accountable throughout.
Control before the scanner comes off the truck.
Our surveyors tie every scan to your plant coordinates, so it lines up with your drawings and future scans.
Crews that climb.
Our crews climb the platforms and columns others skip, so elevated equipment is in the data.
Coverage checked before demob.
Every area is checked before the crew leaves, and any gaps are logged and handed over with the data.
Deliverables
Your format. Your system.
Any format.
Registered point clouds, panoramas, survey control, plot plans and the QA/QC reports behind them, delivered in whatever your tools read.
- e57
- LAS/LAZ
- PLY
- PTS
- ReCap
- panoramas
- orthomosaics
- drone LiDAR
Ei Everywhere
Any system.
Whatever system, whatever format. Work in the tools your team already uses, or collaborate in Ei Everywhere with no new software to install.
Beyond the scan
Above and beyond.
A registered scan of your unit is the field foundation for work that used to need another site visit. Ei can take the same dataset further:
Geotagging
Major equipment located and tagged in the scan, so every asset has a place.
P&ID revalidation
Field conditions checked against the drawings, discrepancies marked where they live.
P&ID RevalidationInspection isometrics
Generated from the registered scan. No second walkdown.
Digitization and AI
Segmented, indexed data that feeds equipment identification, planning tools, and whatever comes next.
Safety and plant readiness
Eight years.
Zero recordables.
Ei crews have worked in operating refineries and chemical plants for eight years without an OSHA-recordable incident. Every mobilization gets a site-specific HSE plan, reviewed with your safety leadership before anyone reaches the gate, and a documented hazard assessment every shift.
Track record
A large history of capturing industrial facilities.
We've been scanning operating plants for nearly two decades. Our crews know the units, the permits and the safety culture, and they know how to get the job done.
