YOUR SECTOR

Engineering teams, developers and city authorities work with models, maps and live data held in separate tools.

Connecting them saves time and reduces costly mistakes.

  • Models disconnected from locationBIM and GIS live in separate worlds.
  • No single view of the city or projectDecisions made on partial data.
  • Handover gapsWhat was built doesn’t match what operations receives.
  • Pilots that don’t scaleSmart-city projects stuck at proof of concept.

USE CASES

Examples of how ICS approaches engineering and city challenges.

They describe possible solutions, not claims about a named customer.

  • Point-cloud scan of a facility next to the reconstructed 3D engineering model

    Scan-to-BIM and as-built engineering documentation

    • Geospatial / Engineering Data

    Challenge. Brownfield facilities often have old or incomplete drawings. Reality capture and legacy engineering documents must be reconciled into a reliable baseline before renovation, coordination or handover.

    How it works
    1. Receive or collect suitable point-cloud data.
    2. Prepare and segment the source files into manageable work areas.
    3. Reconstruct structured engineering components in an appropriate BIM or Plant 3D authoring environment.
    4. Compare model geometry with legacy drawings.
    5. Add available asset identifiers and attributes.
    6. Issue coordinated native models, review files and updated documentation.
    Technology
    Point-cloud inputs (such as E57), Autodesk ReCap, Autodesk Plant 3D, Navisworks and P&ID DWG/PDF documentation, as used in a comparable reference engagement. The toolset is confirmed per project.
    What you get
    A structured as-existing engineering model, coordinated review outputs, asset information and updated drawings that serve as a foundation for later engineering or information-management work.
    Impact
    A clearer baseline for renovation and model coordination. GIS context, live feeds and an operational digital twin can follow as later phases.
  • 3D city district model with scenario comparison dashboard

    City digital twin and planning analytics

    • Geospatial
    • AI & Data

    Challenge. Planners judge growth, zoning and infrastructure options from 2D plans and separate datasets, so the impact of decisions is hard to see.

    How it works
    1. Build a 3D city model from imagery, surveys and existing GIS layers.
    2. Add land use, population, utilities and transport layers.
    3. Run GeoAI analysis of growth patterns and land suitability.
    4. Compare planning options in scenario dashboards.
    5. Share the model through a geoportal with stakeholders.
    Technology
    3D GIS, satellite and aerial imagery, GeoAI and spatial analytics, scenario dashboards, geoportal.
    What you get
    A 3D digital twin of the city or district with planning analytics and scenario comparison.
    Impact
    Planning decisions that can be seen and tested before they are made, and a shared model for all agencies involved.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Can you connect our BIM models to GIS?

BIM–GIS integration is a proposed Geospatial Intelligence capability; required formats, fidelity and workflows are assessed per project.

What does a digital twin need to start?

Your spatial data and models; sensors and live feeds can be added in stages.

Can you capture existing sites in 3D?

Reality-capture services can use FARO technology where appropriate; distribution status must be verified before publication.

Can a smart-city pilot grow into a city-wide platform?

The architecture should establish scalability and support requirements; actual coverage depends on the agreed solution and SLA.
