Digitised and operational in < 4 weeks
Live asset tagging and zone-based alerts enabled
Document vault and PPM linked to scanned zones
Customer Quote
We thought our building was too old to go digital. The scan-based twin gave us a 21st-century platform without needing 21st-century drawings.

Challenge
This brownfield site had no BIM, no CAD, and minimal documentation. Any digitisation effort seemed impossible due to age and lack of as-built data. Yet, the facility teams needed visibility, better scheduling, and asset control.
Solutions
Nhance performed high-precision photometric scans of the entire structure, converting point clouds into navigable zones. Assets were tagged post-scan, IoT sensors were layered in, and the twin became a working environment for fault tracking, occupancy analytics, and maintenance. No traditional BIM? No problem.
