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
