When clients bring us complex projects, we bring them crystal-clear solutions: in vivid 3D and immersive virtual reality. 

Bringing the project site to life, from the terrain to the equipment, we show them how every phase of their operation will play out: how our cranes and SPMTs will move, how loads will be lifted and transported, and how every configuration will click into place. 

Our expert team creates these visualizations to help clients make informed decisions, armed with essential information and insights into how their project would progress. We know that when clients can see it, they can imagine it–and then put it into action.

We begin with 2D drawings and transform them into compelling 3D animations, walking the client through every project phase. Bringing together the initial drawings, the Sarens equipment library, and drone-based scans of the terrain and project site, we present the project in 3D so our clients can see exactly how to put it in motion.

Not only that: we create entire virtual reality worlds based on these 3D animations, inviting clients to use a VR headset to navigate the project site in full motion, exploring 3D models of cranes, SPMTs, and all of our equipment immersively and from every angle. This allows them to understand the full picture in more detail and with more clarity than flat 2D drawings would provide. 

Some of the ambitious projects that we have brought to life in 3D and virtual reality include:

• The replacement of two enormous rail bridge sections in France: Before deploying our fully-electric and silent crane, the Little Celeste, to this iconic project in Massy, France, we used 3D animations to let the client explore exactly how the project would progress. In vivid detail, we showed how the SGC-90 would lift two century-old bridge sections, place them onto SPMTs, and later lift the new bridge sections into place–all while navigating a narrow worksite.
• Load-out operations for the Fécamp offshore wind farm: The expansive Fécamp offshore wind farm will generate sustainable electricity for 770.000 residents of France. And with an operation of this size and scale–tranpsorting and loading out 71 48.000T gravity-based structures–seeing it in immersive 3D made it easy for our client to understand how everything would come together on-site.
• A record-breaking decommissioning lift in Norway: When the Wergeland Base in Gulen, Norway, needed to be decommissioned, it was clear the operation would push engineering boundaries–among them, one of Europe’s heaviest crawler crane lifts to date. Using 3D animations and virtual reality, we brought the project to life in vivid and precise detail, allowing the client to navigate every phase–rigging from the sea, coordinating with SPMTs, and executing an exceptionally rare lift smoothly and sustainably.

These gorgeously-rendered 3D and VR animations don't just help clients make the best possible project decisions; they help them explain and promote the work that they are doing. In fact, clients often ask to keep these 3D videos to present to key stakeholders or use in promotional materials–a true testament to their ability to capture a complex vision and present it with stunning clarity.
