Linde Engineering is one of the world’s leading providers of industrial process plant design and construction. From concept development to turnkey delivery, the company executes complex projects across sectors such as industrial gases, petrochemicals, and energy. With projects worldwide—including Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Hungary, Germany, Singapore, and the USA—efficient collaboration, accurate data, and clear communication are critical, especially in brownfield projects, revamps, and retrofits.

WHAT WAS NEEDED

For engineering teams working on existing industrial facilities across multiple countries, access to accurate as-built data is essential. Linde Engineering often manages large volumes of 3D reality capture data—such as laser scans—that need to be quickly and efficiently utilized, without requiring frequent site visits across global locations. The need for a centralized, accessible platform that could visualize facilities remotely while supporting collaboration across international teams became increasingly important.

DEPLOYMENT

Linde Engineering adopted viinplan as a powerful platform to support engineering teams with fast, accurate visual access to remote facilities. Used across large-scale international projects involving thousands of scans, viinplan offers a flexible, centralized environment for managing and navigating reality capture data. By using viinplan, engineers can explore and analyze facility conditions remotely—saving travel time and costs while ensuring real-world conditions are always reflected in design decisions. This is especially valuable in complex brownfield and retrofit scenarios, where precision and coordination are critical

VALUE DELIVERED

  • Time Savings: Reduced need for site visits through remote access to 3D data across global projects
  • Improved Design Accuracy: Real-world conditions are fully considered in project planning
  • Centralized Platform: Thousands of scans organized and accessible for all stakeholders worldwide
  • Enhanced Communication: Shared, visual context supports collaboration across international teams

LASTING IMPACT

By integrating With Viinplan, Linde Engineering has introduced a robust solution that streamlines project workflows, improves team collaboration, and enhances the quality of engineering decisions. The platform plays a vital role in the success of complex projects worldwide by ensuring that as-built conditions are always at the center of design and planning.
