In oil and gas, everything is complex—systems, schedules, and stakeholders. One missing detail can snowball into missed deadlines, unexpected rework, or regulatory issues. 🚨
Engineers are constantly tasked with delivering accurate designs, verifying installations, and coordinating across departments. But how do you keep eyes on the field without always being in the field?
The answer: engineering-ready virtual walkthroughs. These immersive 360° site experiences offer real-time, visual access to job sites—making them a game-changer for pipeline engineering, facility upgrades, and operations.
Unlike standard 360 tours, engineering-ready walkthroughs are designed for precision decision-making.
Captured using drones or 360° cameras, these virtual experiences allow you to:
They don’t just help you “see” the site—they help you work from it.
Let’s break down some of the top use cases:
Walk the pipeline route or facility digitally and overlay your design drawings. Catch spacing errors, detect conflicts, and confirm access paths before construction begins.
