Project Brief - Photorealistic Engineering Animation

HydroFoamer GRP + Polyurethane Installation System

We are seeking an experienced industrial 3D animation studio to produce a photorealistic, technically accurate animation of the HydroFoamer pipeline installation method.

This is not a generic explainer video. It must accurately represent civil engineering, pipe installation, soil interaction and polyurethane expansion behaviour at a professional level suitable for regulators, utilities, energy developers and institutional investors.

The animation will be used in technical presentations in Canada and Europe (hydropower, geothermal and energy infrastructure sectors).



Scope of Work

The animation should clearly and realistically depict:
1. Trench preparation in native soil
2. Placement of GRP pipe (e.g. DN800–DN1000 class)
3. Spigot-and-gasket joint assembly
4. Injection of two-component polyurethane
5. Controlled foam expansion around the pipe
6. Formation of a structural support envelope
7. Load dispersion into surrounding soil (compression and shear zones)
8. Native backfill reinstatement
9. Final buried configuration with structural load visualization

The sequence must include:
• High-quality trench and soil rendering
• Realistic material behaviour (GRP, polyurethane foam, soil)
• Clean sectional cutaways showing structural mechanics
• Visualisation of load paths and stress dispersion (engineering-style overlays)
• Optional inclusion of bend stabilisation / thrust-block replacement



Deliverable
• 60–120 second high-resolution animation
• Photorealistic rendering (not cartoon / explainer style)
• Subtle technical overlays and labels
• Neutral, authoritative tone
• Suitable for investor decks, regulatory submissions and board-level presentations



Required Experience

We are specifically looking for studios with experience in:
• Oil & Gas or pipeline engineering visualisation
• Civil infrastructure animation
• Geotechnical or structural animation
• Industrial bid-support animations

This project requires understanding of:
• Pipe pressure classes (PN ratings)
• Joint tolerances and installation mechanics
• Soil-structure interaction
• Expansion materials behaviour



Technical Skills
• Advanced expertise in Blender, 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D or Unreal Engine
• Ability to work from CAD files (STEP / FBX)
• Strong lighting, materials and rendering capability for industrial realism
• Experience creating sectioned engineering views



What We Will Provide
• 3D CAD models of pipe and components
• Installation sequence documentation
• Material specifications
• Reference photos from live projects
• Engineering notes for structural load visualisation



Proposal Requirements

Please include:
• Portfolio of relevant industrial or infrastructure animations
• Description of similar engineering projects
• Proposed timeline
• Budget range
• Approach to technical accuracy review
