Why teams in Louisiana choose GDS
Statewide field coverage
From New Orleans to Baton Rouge and beyond, our teams mobilize across Louisiana without requiring you to coordinate multiple vendors.
Energy & petrochemical experience
Louisiana refinery, plant, and petrochemical operations require specialized capture and turnaround scheduling protocols. We bring that experience to every project.
Industrial & manufacturing ready
Experience supporting manufacturing and industrial operations - facility documentation, legacy part recreation, and reverse engineering for demanding environments.
Data that travels well
Point clouds and models prepared for Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, and visualization tools - with clear layer naming and import notes.
Schedule you can defend
Field work planned around outages and access windows so your team can better explain how the schedule was built.
The GDS Guarantee
Every project is covered by the GDS Guarantee for our scanning and modeling deliverables.

Frequently asked questions
Which Louisiana cities do you cover most frequently?
We most frequently work in %M% - plus mid-size cities and industrial project sites across the state. Select any city above to explore local services.
Does GDS handle reverse engineering work in Louisiana?
Yes. Reverse engineering - legacy component recreation, design recovery, CAD reconstruction, and fabrication support - is a core part of our Louisiana work, particularly for energy, manufacturing, and industrial clients.
Do you work on energy, oil & gas, and petrochemical projects in Louisiana?
Yes. Energy, oil & gas, petrochemical, and industrial facility work is a major part of our Louisiana portfolio. We have experience working around turnaround and shutdown schedules.
How quickly can you mobilize to a Louisiana project site?
Standard mobilization is typically within 5 to 10 business days after scope confirmation. For urgent projects we can often accelerate. Call us to discuss your timeline.
What deliverables does GDS provide for Louisiana projects?
Deliverables are tailored to each client's software environment and intended use - including point clouds, Revit BIM models, AutoCAD as-builts, STEP and IGES files, fabrication-ready geometry, and 3D PDFs. Format is confirmed before fieldwork begins.
Does GDS sign NDAs for Louisiana projects?
Yes. We are NDA-friendly and sign mutual confidentiality agreements for energy, petrochemical, industrial, and manufacturing projects, so sensitive data stays protected.
Can GDS work nights, weekends, or during plant outages in Louisiana?
Yes. GDS schedules fieldwork around planned outages, turnarounds, access windows, and restricted periods - common requirements at Louisiana energy and industrial facilities.
Can GDS support multi-site projects across Louisiana?
Yes. GDS coordinates multi-site programs with consistent standards and a single point of contact - common for clients with distributed plants, pipelines, or multi-facility operations across Louisiana.
