Automated Layout Analytics for Industrial Facilities Measure space utilization, identify inefficiencies, and compare layout configurations — directly from Navisworks BIM models. For LNG, petrochemical, and energy 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
🤖 AI Efficiency Advisor with smart recommendations
📊 Export metrics into dashboards, reports, and fabrication workflows
⚙️ Workflow
Step 1 — Upload your 3D model
Plugin into Navisworks or IFC to SaaS
Step 2 — Automatic module detection
System groups equipment, frames, and piping into modules.
Step 3 — AI-driven metrics
The platform calculates utilization ratios, weight factors, and fabrication KPIs.
Step 4 — Compare design alternatives
Rev 1 vs Rev 2 → where you gained density, where you lost space.
Step 5 — Use BIM 360 as a centralized repository for models/results.
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.
