Intelligent as-built digital twin capture
& remote management solutions for energy asset construction
ABOUT
Established in 2013 providing project controls services to the energy industry we now support projects across Power, Infrastructure and Oil & Gas globally from our Aberdeen office. Specialising in onshore power to include substations, cable transmission, grid access and network reinforcement in support of the energy transition.
We support EPC contractors, consultancies, asset owners and developers offering the full suite of project controls solutions for project development and construction delivery phases for assurance and progress verification.
​
Our MESAdvance™ solution follows extensive technology partner selection and designed to provide next level project intelligence in support of successful project delivery in the construction phase.

SERVICES
Project Development
Providing a project controls framework of estimating, planning, cost control and risk management. Supporting major projects in the development lifecycle across feasibility and providing cost/ schedule assurance to help clients turn prospects into assets.
MESAdvance™
Our complete solution for supporting construction delivery utilising drone technology to survey and build digital twins models of sites. Providing a full as-built record within an intelligent platform to give clients advanced project insights into their progress and support claims defence.
Construction Management
In construction we offer boots on the ground support delivery utilising our all inclusive toolkit such as 4x4 vehicles, measurement tools and drones to verify progress and contractor performance. We have a range of dashboards and clear reporting mechanisms which help clients understand project position.
MES ADVANCE™
With 3% multi-factor productivity savings potential as estimated by PwC, a drone programme such as MES Advance™ pays for itself and more.
"Using drones to automate routine tasks will also enhance safety performance, reduce risk, improve quality and free people up to focus on more interesting and value-adding work."
​
"Virtually eliminating disagreements about project status and providing valuable evidence in case of litigation."

What is it
A complete solution that includes data collection, processing and access to an interactive web platform that holds a full as-built record of your site in the form of a digital twin.
The digital twin presented as a 2D map and 3D model demonstrates progress visibly and comparison against historical datasets.
The interactive platform allows clients to gain advanced insights into their project though tracking and measurement functionality.
How we do it
We acquire all your data onsite through a combination of drones, 360° cameras and GNSS RTK survey control points to ensure accuracy. Ideal for multi acre sites and complex cable corridors.
For projects that include buildings and internal areas our 360° cameras are used for walk though mapping ensuring total as-built recording.
The data is processed offsite and available within the web platform the next day for clients to view and explore.
​
We are site ready with site 4x4 vehicle and pilots HV Rules, CSCS and BORDA trained.
​
Construction Management
For boots on ground, utilise to enhance site inductions with a real time 3D walkthough of work zones.
​
Optimise setting to work with visual awareness of safety hazards, environmental exclusion zones and planned SIMOPS. Reduce reporting to give site managers more time on the park.
​
The 2D map and 3D model compliment site co-ordination meetings, allow sizing and testing of work areas and QC checking with drawing overlays.
​
Integrate site captured models into BIM and compare against the baseline 4D design model for clash and progress management.
Why us
We are construction management consultants - not a drone media business. We use drones as one of our key tools for data acquisition.
Integrated with our experience in construction management and on-site experience we understand the key areas our solution can drive value in your project processes.
​
Closing the gap on unreliable contractor reporting and poor site records in the event of a claim.
Project Management
Supporting Project Managers and PMO functions to remotely understand site progress, re-measure and verify invoice applications through the interactive platform, defend claims with a comprehensive as-built record of site from topsoil strip to operations handover.
​
For earthworks compare cut/fill volumes completed week on week to ensure metrics support the project programme to protect the installation critical path.
​
Utilise the digital twin to save costs though reduced site visits and part of active COVID management.
​
​
Investor Assurance
For Investors, project partners and major stakeholders MES Advance™ helps keep an eye on projects to provide independent validation of progress to protect investment and highlight intervention issues.

With design drawings overlayed over real site conditions - everyone can understand progress quickly.
The problem with site data is it's not typically in an easily comparable format - ours is.
Update plan progress or validate invoice applications with ease remotely and safely.
