360 photo virtual tours for oil and gas facilities.

360 Vid documents refineries, plants, terminals, and gas facilities as navigable 360 photo tours for turnaround planning, contractor onboarding, and as-built records, delivered air-gapped and on-premise where your security policy forbids facility imagery on a third-party cloud. This is a scoped capital pilot, where your data-residency policy, not the price, decides the vendor.

What an oil and gas tour earns

One capture, working across turnaround, onboarding, and the asset record.

A 360 photo tour of a refinery, plant, terminal, or gas facility is a navigable, dated record your turnaround, HSE, operations, and engineering teams reuse across the asset lifecycle, from a single field capture.

As-built and turnaround documentation

Pre-shutdown and mid-execution capture so planners validate removal paths, laydown, scaffolding, and crane positions, and spot congestion conflicts before crews mobilize.

Contractor and worker onboarding

New crews walk the site from a hazard-tagged tour before they arrive, learning layout, access routes, and hazard zones, cutting unproductive orientation time against a no-slack schedule.

HSE and emergency orientation

Hazard communication, muster and egress familiarization, and pre-arrival safety walkthroughs, so HSE leads brief crews on layout and risk before anyone steps on a live facility.

Remote facility familiarization

Subject-matter experts and remote SMEs review the plant from a desk between site visits, reducing travel, exposure hours, and the unproductive trips a hazardous site demands.

Asset and integrity records

A dated, navigable record of a process unit or terminal exactly as it stands, for engineering reference, asset integrity, insurance, and capital planning across the portfolio.

Air-gapped no-cloud delivery

The same navigable record delivered on-premise, single-tenant, with no public-internet dependency, for sites whose information-security policy forbids facility imagery on any third-party cloud.

Where your data lives

Air-gapped when your site demands it.

For a refinery, a gas plant, or a regulated critical-infrastructure site, the first qualifying question is where the imagery lives and who can reach it. We answer it plainly: an on-premise, no-cloud, single-tenant tour your facility owns outright, with no public-internet dependency, so imagery never leaves your controlled network. This is the wedge a cloud-only 3D platform structurally cannot match.

We are direct about our posture. We are ISN registered (ISNetworld), insured with $5M CGL and E&O, and WCB covered in Alberta and Saskatchewan. We do not currently hold COR or SECOR certification, and we will not claim a prequalification we cannot evidence. To keep our footprint on a live hazardous facility small, we scope the work from a remote walkthrough first, then mobilize a Canadian field crew only against an agreed plan. Air-gap is offered factually, as a capability for the minority who require it, never as fear-selling.

  • Multi-tenant, cannot meet a no-cloud policy
  • Inherits point-cloud dropout on reflective steel
Who we build for

Four roles at the facility, four reasons to call.

Each starts from a different search and a different budget line, and each clears the same two gates most photo vendors never address: safety prequalification and a data-residency answer.

HSE and contractor onboarding lead

"contractor onboarding virtual tour oil and gas" Brief every new crew on layout, access, and hazard zones before they arrive, so orientation stops eating a turnaround schedule.

Turnaround or project manager

"refinery turnaround documentation tour" Validate removal paths, laydown, scaffolding, and crane conflicts from a pre-TAR capture before crews mobilize against a no-slack window.

Operations and asset integrity

"facility as-built 360 documentation" Keep a dated, navigable record of the unit as it actually stands when drawings drift and remote SMEs need to see the plant.

Procurement and contracts

"data residency virtual tour Canada" Clear the corporate security and IT gate with a documented on-premise, single-tenant, air-gapped option no cloud-only vendor can supply.

How the capability fits

From a remote scope to a documented facility you own.

Industrial work is slow, documented, and defensible, so we run it that way. We settle data residency and safety prequalification up front, prove value on a bounded pilot, and only expand if the pilot earns the rollout.

1

Remote scoping first

We scope from a recorded walkthrough before anyone mobilizes, so the footprint on a live hazardous facility stays minimal and mobilization and travel cost stay low.

2

Pilot, then expand

A bounded capital pilot on one area or unit proves the format and the security posture before a multi-area, multi-phase facility program.

3

Air-gapped if required

Where information-security policy forbids cloud imagery, we deliver on-premise, single-tenant, with no public-internet dependency and full data ownership.

4

Onboard, document, maintain

Hazard-tagged onboarding, an as-built integrity record, and recapture as the site changes, tied into a Navisworks or BIM model you already own.

Utilities, power, and mining share the same security posture and the same data-residency answer. See the full industrial and energy lane

Scoped, not a fixed package

A capital pilot, scoped to your facility.

This is not the $7,000 commercial floor and it is not a photo package. A full oil and gas facility program can run well into seven figures, roughly $3.8M to $8M over multiple years, and those deals are rare and lumpy, scoped through procurement rather than closed off a web form. So most oil and gas engagements start as a bounded pilot that proves value before any rollout.

Questions

Oil and gas questions.

Can a 360 oil and gas tour be delivered air-gapped, on-premise, with no cloud?
Yes. We deliver an on-premise, single-tenant, air-gapped 360 photo tour with no public-internet dependency, so facility imagery never leaves your controlled network. It suits refineries, terminals, and regulated critical-infrastructure sites whose information-security policy forbids imagery on a third-party cloud. The cloud-only 3D platforms structurally cannot match it; Matterport publicly states it offers no local or on-premise hosting. We offer air-gap as a capability for the minority who require it, with Canadian data residency for hosted work.
What is a refinery or plant 360 documentation tour used for?
It is a navigable, dated 360 photo record of a process unit, terminal, or gas facility exactly as it stands. Operators use it for as-built engineering reference and insurance, turnaround (TAR) planning, contractor and worker onboarding, remote walkdown and inspection, and controlled investor or ESG facility tours, all from a single field capture.
How does 360 photo compare to LiDAR or 3D scanning for an industrial site?
It is a different deliverable for a different job. Industrial sites are full of specular process steel, polished pipe, and glass, where a LiDAR beam reflects away from the sensor, so those surfaces drop out of the point cloud or generate phantom points that need cleanup. A 360 photo tour records exactly what the camera sees, with no dropout, faster and cheaper, for navigable visual as-built, turnaround, onboarding, and inspection. A millimetre-accurate engineering point cloud is a separate, specialized deliverable, and we tie a 360 walk into a Navisworks or BIM model you already own.
How does a 360 tour support turnaround (TAR) planning and contractor onboarding?
Pre-shutdown and mid-execution capture lets planners validate removal paths, laydown areas, scaffolding, and crane positions, and spot congestion conflicts before crews mobilize. New crews walk the site from a hazard-tagged tour before they arrive, learning layout, access routes, and hazard zones, which shortens orientation against a TAR schedule with no slack. Even the cloud platforms market refinery turnaround this way; our wedge is delivering it on-premise.
What are your site-safety prequalifications?
We are ISN registered (ISNetworld), carry $5M CGL and E&O insurance, and are WCB covered in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and our crews are escort-ready for site orientation and PPE rules. We are direct about what we do not hold: we do not currently carry COR or SECOR certification. If your site requires a specific prequalification program, tell us in scoping and we will confirm fit before any mobilization.
What does an oil and gas documentation pilot cost?
Oil and gas work is a scoped capital pilot, not a photo package. Pilots start at $500,000 for a bounded scope on one area or facility. A full oil and gas facility program is multi-year and can run from $3.8M to $8M; these are rare, lumpy, and scoped through procurement, not closed off a web form. The page shows posture and proof, and we confirm final scope and price in a qualified call.
