Automated Layout Analytics for Industrial Facilities Measure space utilization, identify inefficiencies, and compare layout configurations — directly from Navisworks BIM models. For LNG, petrochemical, energy and industrial projects
💡 The Problem
Facility layout decisions for LNG, petrochemical, and industrial
projects are still made using manual Navisworks measurements
and Excel spreadsheets.
The result: wasted space goes undetected, layout inefficiencies
are discovered late, and comparing alternatives takes days —
not hours.

🛠 SCANENG MAP — The Solution
ScanEng Map - From 3D model to layout decision — in hours, not days.
ScanEng Map calculates spatial metrics, generates occupancy heatmaps, and compares layout options automatically — giving engineering teams quantitative evidence for early-stage decisions
Core Capabilities:
🧩 Automatic space-utilization calculation per module or element
⚙️ Compare design configurations for efficiency & transportability
🤖 Flags where space can be optimized — your team decides
📊 Export metrics into dashboards, reports, and fabrication workflows
Metrics grounded in recognized engineering standards (API clearance practice, ISO weight control), validated with your team.
⚙️ Workflow
1. Upload your 3D model
Plugin into Navisworks
2. Module detection
System groups equipment, frames, and piping into modules.
3. Automatic calculation
The platform calculates utilization ratios, weight factors, and fabrication KPIs.
4. Compare design alternatives
Rev 1 vs Rev 2 → where you gained density, where you lost space.
5. Use a centralized repository for models/results.

⚙️ Enterprise Service
Validate your facility layout before committing to full deployment.
We work with owner-operators and engineering teams on focused projects using real 3D models and project data.
How it works
1. You provide the model
Navisworks, IFC, or other supported engineering model, together with the study scope and layout alternatives.
2. We run the analysis
Our software evaluates spatial utilization, layout compactness, underused space, service-access indicators, and differences between layout options.
3. We validate the results with your engineers
We review assumptions, thresholds, and findings together with the project team to ensure the analysis reflects the intended engineering context.
4. You receive a decision report
The final deliverable includes a comparison table, heatmaps, key findings, and recommended areas for further engineering review.
You provide the model. We run the analysis. Together, we validate the findings. You receive a decision-ready report.

Smart suggestions based on 3D geometry:
- where space is wasted
- where routing/geometry can be improved
- where density can be increased
- what blocks the maintenance envelope
- what layout changes improve overall efficiency
- Faster layout reviews
- Reduction in manual measurements
- Objective utilization scoring
- Easily defensible engineering decisions
- Standardized module KPIs
- Better fabrication readiness
🔗 Why It Matters
In large industrial facilities, layout decisions made at early project stages are the most impactful — and the least quantified. Inefficient layouts discovered late mean redesigns, construction delays, and maintenance penalties that could have been avoided.
ScanEng Map closes the gap between BIM and decision-making — bringing quantitative spatial analytics to the stage where they matter most.
