Project Description
Euler Engineering delivered a multidisciplinary LOD 200 BIM model of a 57,900 sq ft bitumen processing facility in NSW, Australia.
The project involved converting point cloud data into a coordinated Revit model capturing architectural elements, structural steel platforms, and primary mechanical systems including tanks, pipework, and process equipment.
The model was developed to support planning, layout validation, upgrade assessments, and future brownfield modifications within an operational industrial environment
Scope & Methodology
-
Processing and registration of point cloud data using Autodesk Recap and TruView
-
Establishment of plant grid, levels, and shared coordinate systems in Revit
-
Architectural modelling:
-
Building envelopes and cladding
-
Roof structures and access areas
-
Structural modelling:
-
Steel platforms and access stairs
-
Pipe racks and support framing
-
Equipment support structures
-
Mechanical modelling:
-
Storage tanks and vessels
-
Major pipework runs
-
Process equipment envelopes
-
Development to LOD 200, including:
-
Accurate overall geometry
-
Correct spatial positioning
-
Generalised system representation suitable for planning and coordination
Tools Used
-
Revit | Autodesk Recap | TruView
Outcome & Value
-
Delivered a coordinated digital representation of the facility
-
Provided a reliable base model for plant modifications and layout studies
-
Improved visibility of mechanical and structural interactions
-
Reduced uncertainty for future brownfield works
-
Enabled stakeholders to visualise plant upgrades before execution
Key Benefit
By integrating architectural, structural, and mechanical systems into a unified BIM model, Euler Engineering created a practical digital foundation for industrial planning, reducing risk and improving decision-making for future plant upgrades
