Business Needs:

  • Update missing and outdated plant and equipment CAD drawings.
  • Capture accurate as-built conditions for legacy facilities.
  • Create complete 2D/3D CAD models and technical drawings.
  • Support current operations and future structures development.

Project Challenges:

  • Capture design data while the plant remains fully operational.
  • Achieve precise on-site measurements under live production conditions.
  • Maintain exact dimensional accuracy during CAD modeling.
  • Manage access, safety, and space constraints in an active plant environment

Our Solutions and Approach:

A France Production plant approached TrueCADD to digitalized waste recycling plant using feature-based modeling and drawings.

  • Planned measurement activities around limited downtime to avoid production disruption.
  • Performed detailed manual measurements to capture complex equipment geometry.
  • Issued structured RFIs to document sub-assemblies and internal components.
  • Linked site photos and reference data with offshore CAD teams for accurate modeling.
  • Developed 3D parametric models with integrated 2D drawings for centralized data management.

Business Impact:

  • Provided actionable insights for plant layout optimization.
  • Created digitized designs for future reference and modifications.
  • Improved accuracy of equipment and system documentation.
  • Enabled efficient planning for maintenance and upgrades.
