Global Design Solutions (GDS) transforms oil and gas facilities by turning physical assets into accurate digital models. We provide full turnkey piping, civil, and structural services using advanced 3D laser scanning, reverse engineering, isometric drawing creation, P&ID development, as-built documentation, and digital twin modeling. Our goal is to reduce project risk, control costs, and accelerate delivery for operators, EPCs, and facility owners.

What GDS Provides for Oil and Gas

End to end delivery
From laser scanning and point cloud capture to reverse engineering, P&ID development, isometric drawings, as-built documentation, CAD modeling, fabrication packages, and complete digital twins.

Industry expertise
Specialized in upstream, midstream, and downstream facilities with focus on piping tie ins, pipe racks, structural supports, and civil site modeling.

Cost and schedule savings
Accurate as-built data reduces rework, supports offsite prefabrication, and shortens project timelines.

Safety focused
Noncontact scanning reduces the need for shutdowns and limits time in hazardous environments.

Collaborative partnership
We work closely with your project teams to deliver models and documentation that are directly usable for engineering, procurement, construction, and operations.
