3D Design
Utilising their diverse in-house design capabilities, Omnia Projects transforms 2D CAD designs into vibrant 3D models. These models not only serve as powerful visual aids for productive discussions but also boast precision, facilitating the measurement of complex elevations and electrical clearances within the 3D environment. By utilising virtual reality headsets, the project team can explore the substation layout before any on-site construction begins.
Omnia Projects excel in efficiently developing 3D models, seamlessly progressing from Front End Engineering Design (FEED) to detailed design. Each model is customised to meet the specific requirements of the client, accommodating anything from individual assets to entire substations.
