Trusted by Global Brands

Capture your plant or facility in millimetre-accurate 3D detail — faster, safer, and smarter.

Luminous delivers professional 3D laser scanning surveys and mobile mapping services across Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East, specialising in oil & gas plants, refineries, industrial sites, and infrastructure assets.

Our solutions help operators, EPC contractors, and engineering firms reduce downtime, eliminate costly rework, and confidently plan upgrades through accurate as-built data and digital twin creation.

Why 3D Laser Scanning Matters for Oil & Gas and Industrial Facilities

Refineries, process plants, and heavy industrial facilities are complex environments where every millimetre counts.
Shutdowns for maintenance or upgrades can cost millions in lost revenue — and if an upgrade goes wrong due to inaccurate measurements or design clashes, the impact can be catastrophic.

Our 3D laser scanning surveys provide high-density point cloud data that captures every pipe, beam, and flange — enabling engineers to design with confidence, prevent clashes, and ensure new equipment fits perfectly the first time.

Over 15 Years of Experience in 3D Scanning

The Luminous team has been pioneering 3D laser scanning and mobile mapping for over 15 years, supporting major clients in oil & gas, manufacturing, power generation, and construction.
We combine terrestrial scanning, vehicle-mounted mobile mapping, aerial LiDAR, photogrammetry, and autonomous drone capture to deliver accurate, high-quality results — on time and on budget.

Our track record includes large-scale refinery scans, FPSO modules, onshore gas processing facilities, and manufacturing plants across the Middle East and Europe.

What Is 3D Laser Scanning?

3D laser scanning is the evolution of traditional surveying.

Instead of taking one point at a time, scanners record millions of XYZ data points in seconds, creating a 3D “point cloud” — a precise digital representation of the real-world environment.

Each point carries accurate coordinates, colour imagery, and surface reflectivity, forming the foundation for as-built models, CAD drawings, BIM data, and digital twins.

How the Data Is Used

The 3D point cloud can be imported directly into your CAD or BIM software, allowing teams to:

Take precise measurements of structures, pipework, or equipment
Extract 2D plans, sections, and elevations for engineering and documentation
Build 3D models for brownfield modification and expansion projects
Conduct clash detection and layout optimisation
Integrate scans into digital twins for predictive maintenance or VR-based training

Applications of 3D Laser Scanning

As-Built Capture for Oil & Gas Plants
Digitally record every component of your refinery or processing plant with millimetre accuracy.

Reduced Risk & Downtime
Capture hazardous or hard-to-access areas safely without interrupting production.

Improved Engineering & Design
Deliver precise data for brownfield design, fabrication fit-up, and plant upgrades.

Digital Twin Creation
Keep your facilities up to date and enable remote inspection, monitoring, and planning.

Immersive Safety & Maintenance Training
Transform digital twins into VR/AR training environments to enhance workforce competency and safety awareness.

Mobile Mapping Surveys – Powered by NavVis VLX 3

When speed, coverage, and accuracy matter, Luminous uses the state-of-the-art NavVis VLX 3 mobile mapping system to capture detailed 3D data of complex sites faster than ever before.

The NavVis VLX 3 combines mobile SLAM-based laser scanning with high-resolution panoramic imagery to deliver survey-grade accuracy at walking speed. It’s the ideal solution for large-scale oil & gas plants, refineries, manufacturing sites, and infrastructure projects where traditional tripod-based scanning would be too slow or disruptive.
