Energy / oil & gas
Verify every pipe, vessel, and structural element before handover.
Maintain a verified spatial record of every pipe, vessel, and structural element for a confident handover.
Argyle is an augmented reality platform for construction that overlays coordinated BIM models on the jobsite so teams can verify installs, log spatial observations, and share field data in real time.

The problem
Install errors surface late, when they cost the most to fix.
By the time a misaligned install is discovered, it's encased in concrete, insulated, or already commissioned. By then, every downstream trade has to move to correct it.
- Inspections happen after close-in, when correction is most expensive
- Field deviations from the model go undocumented until handover
- Operations inherits a model that does not match what was built
Argyle moves verification to the moment of install, so owners and operators hand over with confidence.
Use cases
Where Argyle fits on an energy project.
Argyle is built for energy and oil & gas projects where being wrong costs the most. Explore the full Argyle platform and more use cases.
Installation verification
Ensure systems are installed exactly as designed. Bring complex models into the field and verify positioning of piping, vessels, and structural elements during installation. Confirm alignment and placement before work is finalized, reducing costly errors in high-precision environments.
Field engineers, installation teams
Shutdown and turnaround planning
Plan critical work with real-world context. Visualize system layouts before executing shutdowns or maintenance windows. Teams can better plan sequencing, access, and coordination, reducing risk during time-sensitive operations.
Operations, maintenance planners
Retrofit and existing conditions
Understand complex environments before making changes. Overlay models onto existing conditions to plan modifications, retrofits, or expansions. Identify conflicts early and reduce uncertainty in live operational environments.
Engineers, retrofit teams
Observations
Drop geo-anchored notes, photos, and markup directly in AR space. Pin each observation to the exact location it describes, with a status your team can track as New or In Progress in the web portal.
Field foremen, QA/QC
Live stream to the office
Give remote teams real visibility into site conditions. Share what the device sees so engineering and management can join the call and look at the same install. Reduce miscommunication and accelerate decision-making across locations.
Engineering, project leadership
Owner handover and CSV export
Deliver a spatial record of what was built. Capture field conditions tied to real-world coordinates, creating a foundation for handover, documentation, and long-term operations. Project at a glance summarizes what has been captured, with CSV export for your own reports.
Owners, asset managers
How it works
Three steps to a verified install.
Argyle fits into the workflow your VDC and field teams already run.
Upload your model
Export from Revit or Navisworks, or sync from ACC. Your model arrives with hierarchy, phases, and properties intact.
Align to the jobsite
Open Argyle on iPad or iPhone and anchor the model to the physical space. The model overlays the real structure at full scale.
Walk and verify
Inspect installs against design in AR and log observations in place. Verification status and observations reach the office in real time.

What VDC teams are saying
“Once we started getting the PMs and the executives to see the videos and see how quickly we could find things, they were like 'we need to get this everywhere'. This is the first AR technology I've ever been shown that I immediately understood and can immediately see the value in.”

FAQ
Argyle for energy and oil & gas: common questions
How does Argyle help on energy and oil & gas projects?
Argyle overlays the coordinated BIM model on the jobsite in AR, so teams can verify every pipe, vessel, and structural element against design during installation. Observations are logged in place and reach the office in real time, building a verified spatial record for handover.
Can Argyle help plan shutdowns, turnarounds, and retrofits?
Yes. Teams can visualize system layouts before executing shutdowns or maintenance windows, and overlay models onto existing conditions to plan modifications, retrofits, or expansions.
Which devices does Argyle run on?
Argyle field apps run on iPad and iPhone. The office manages projects, models, observations, and users in the Argyle web portal.
Which model formats does Argyle support?
Export your model from Revit or Navisworks, or sync it from Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). The model arrives with hierarchy, phases, and properties intact.
Is Argyle secure?
Argyle is SOC 2 compliant.
