Deliverables

Point Cloud + Revit Model + 2D Plans

Facing outdated hand-drawn plant documentation and ambitious plans to expand production, an industrial bakery partnered with ENSOL Group to reimagine its layout. ENSOL, needing accurate as-builts to design remotely from the U.S., brought in OAR to scan and model the facility. OAR delivered a hybrid solution of 2D and 3D documentation—now hosted and shared via CINTOO—eliminating months of site visits and empowering global coordination. 

  • Industry:  Industrial Baking 
  • Core Services: Reality Capture, Scan to BIM, as built 2D/3D Modeling 
  • Key Outcome: Accurate, sharable asset documentation enabling remote design & future expansions 

The Challenge

A legacy food processing plant in Jamaica that grew organically over three generations. This resulted in: 

  • Fragmented infrastructure 
  • No reliable documentation 
  • Hand-drawn site drawings that didn’t reflect the current production setup 
  • Urgent need to reorganize for increased production over the next 18 months 

 

The ENSOL Group, contracted OAR to create the new layout design, faced their own challenge: designing remotely without trustworthy as-builts would mean costly site visits and unreliable engineering data. 

About the Project

Our Solution

The ENSOL Group turned to OAR to capture the entire facility with high precision and speed. OAR deployed a tailored scanning and modeling strategy: 

  • Scanning: Entire facility scanned in 3.5 days using RTC360 
  • Deliverables: 
    • CINTOO-hosted colorized point cloud with 360° imagery 
    • 2D AutoCAD drawings for equipment layouts and reflected ceiling plans (aligned with integrator needs) 
    • 3D Revit model (LOD 300) for structural/architectural zones 
    • Plan views and exterior elevations to replace legacy hand-drawn documents 

OAR coordinated directly with plant management to gain access and complete the work swiftly and seamlessly. 

The Results

  • 220,000 sq ft scanned 
  • 85,000 sq ft modeled in 3D 
  • Final deliverables delivered in under 4 weeks, including QA/QC 
  • The ENSOL Group avoided months of site visits, saving thousands in travel costs 
  • Enabled The ENSOL Group to begin 3D design work promptly and with high confidence 
  • Significantly improved coordination across stakeholders with mixed 2D/3D formats hosted on CINTOO 
  • Introduced topographic floor data for improved drainage planning  
  • Established a living digital asset that can evolve as equipment and layout change over time 

Technical Highlights

  • Scanned Area: ~220,000 sq ft 
  • Modeled Area: ~85,000 sq ft 
  • Equipment: Leica RTC360 
  • Deliverables: 
    • Revit (LOD 300), 
    • AutoCAD 2D plans, 
    • PDFs (including RCPs), 
    • Hosted point cloud on CINTOO 
  • Project Duration: 
    • Scanning: 3.5 days 
    • Final deliverables: ~4 weeks
