Industrial Facility Laser Scanning in Illinois — Accurate Documentation for Complex Environments
Industrial facilities present some of the most challenging existing conditions documentation in construction. Process equipment, structural steel, pipe routing, and mechanical systems all occupy the same space. Moreover, they interact in ways that tape measures and manual field notes simply cannot capture accurately. For plant managers, operations engineers, and facility teams throughout Illinois, TWG provides…

Accurate by Design: Elevator Shaft Laser Scanning at OSF SEMC Peru
Elevator shafts don’t leave much room for error. For ADG’s work at OSF SEMC Peru, the team needed accurate documentation of the shaft and its surrounding features before planning could begin. TWG deployed the Leica RTC360 to capture those existing conditions through elevator shaft laser scanning — and delivered a coordinated Revit model ADG could…
