Who are we?

  • We are Mechanical and Process Engineers with over 30 years experience in the Water, Food/Drink, Nuclear, Waste, Paper/Print and Chemical Industries.

  • We are specialists in surveying and modelling existing plant and equipment utilising terrestrial 3D laser scanners and GPS referencing technology.

  • Our customers use our services for asset management, equipment upgrade proposals and BIM integration.

Our 'on site' services

  • We carry out site surveys in a wide range of environments, from full nuclear reactors to waste water treatment plants to single processing skids.

  • We regularly carry out confined space entry surveys including wet wells, pressure vessels and valve galleries.

  • Due to customer requests we now carry out full GPS georeferenced topographical surveys.

Post Processing outputs

  • Colourised and registered point clouds in all common file types.

  • 3D CAD models automatically extracted from point clouds, including pipework, structural steel, ducting, walls, levels and surfaces (faster and more accurate than manual modelling).

  • Intelligent process 3D models for use in BIM systems (Revit etc.) and Process Plant systems (Plant 3D and PDMS etc.)

  • GPS/Glonass geo-referenced topographical surfaces including AutoCad Civil 3D and REVIT contoured layouts.

GPS-Glonass Geo-referenced topographical survey drawing. Buildings and equipment are removed from the point cloud giving the underlying ground surface. This is then converted to lightweight toposurface showing elevation contours, GPS coordinates and main equipment. Faster, more accurate and more cost effective than traditional surveying using total stations and theodolites etc.

Why use us?

  • We are not just surveyors, as mechanical and process design engineers we understand your plant. Our surveys are easy for you to organise and will always give you the information you need.

  • We treat health and safety as a priority. We are approved in the 'Safecontractor' scheme and fully trained in confined space working.

  • We are small enough to provide a very flexible and tailored approach to your requirements. 

Who uses us?

  • GlaxoSmithKline

  • BMW

  • Welsh Water

  • Southern Water

  • Britvic

  • Arla Foods

  • Dairy Crest

  • Morgan Sindall

We give you real 3D data you can revisit yourselves, at any time, even for plant not in the original scope of works. The scanned data remains the clients property allowing competitive bidding by multiple process plant designers and manufacturers, at any time.

Tetramec use the very latest automatic extraction algorithms. This enables existing equipment and process plant to be quickly turned in intelligent 'as built' 3D CAD models.

We've developed a 'Tetramec workflow' that can give you a variety of outputs.

'Basic Outputs'

  • 'As built' basic layout in Autocad or similar.

  • "As built' layout including all pipe runs.

  • 3D building walls in Autocad exportable to REVIT.

  • Photographic 3D 'walkthroughs' with instant measurement.

 

'Advanced outputs'

  • 3D structural steelwork in Autocad for analysis.

  • 'Shrink wrap' 3D modeling direct from Point Cloud.

  • 3D Pipework modeling with auto export to Plant 3D for P&ID's.

  • Parametric 3D models in dwg,dwf,stp,sat,igs etc.

 

 

'Downstream Outputs'

  • Intelligent P&ID's.

  • New pipework ISOGENS.

  • Training / Plant investigation.

  • Reverse engineering.
