3D Laser Scan/Survey ModellingEPMS is one of a small number of consultancies able to competently interpret 3D laser scan survey data, and create accurate 3D models of existing plant and structure. EPMS has been able to create ‘as built’ models sufficiently accurate for use as basis of design for structural additions and changes. Despite being slow to gain traction, EPMS is confident that 3D laser scanning is the future for activities such as generating ‘as built’ drawings, and designing around plants for which no electronic drawings exist.

Study ExpertiseEPMS understands the process and challenges clients face when taking projects from Scoping Level through to Operating Plants. Through past involvement on various projects, our Management Team is highly experienced and confident at every step of the project cycle. We have a complete understanding of metallurgy, mining, minerals processing, material handling and transportation (solids and liquids), port facilities and supporting infrastructure.
