Bringing Engineering Certainty to Solomon Islands Projects with 3D Laser Scanning
Designing or upgrading infrastructure in the Solomon Islands often means working with limited drawings, decades of modifications, and assets exposed to marine corrosion, cyclones, and seismic events. For engineers, that uncertainty can slow projects and increase risk.
Modern 3D engineering scanning changes that completely.
Hamilton By Design is now supporting Solomon Islands projects with professional laser scanning that captures the real world in millimetre-accurate detail. The result is a reliable point cloud that designers and engineers anywhere in the world can use for BIM modelling, detailed CAD design, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
Why Accurate Scan Data Matters in the Solomons
Across Honiara and the outer islands, many facilities were built without complete documentation:
Ports and wharves upgraded over decades
Power and utility assets with mixed standards
Processing plants modified by multiple contractors
Buildings affected by tropical weather and movement
Relying on old drawings or manual tape measurements leads to clashes, rework and costly shutdown surprises. A single high-quality 3D scan becomes the digital backbone for every downstream engineering task.
What Engineers Can Do With the Data
Point clouds captured in the Solomon Islands can be used immediately by teams in Australia, New Zealand or globally to:
Create accurate BIM and Revit models
Build Plant3D or Tekla fabrication models
Run structural and mechanical FEA studies
Plan brownfields tie-ins with confidence
Produce 2D drawings and elevations
Complete clash detection before construction
Hamilton By Design delivers data in open industry formats such as E57, RCP and LAS, ensuring it fits seamlessly into your existing workflows.
Industries Benefiting Today
3D scanning is being applied to:
Honiara port and marine infrastructure
Power generation and substations
Water and wastewater facilities
Timber and processing plants
Government and commercial buildings
Bridges and civil structures
Post-cyclone condition assessments
Whether the project is a small upgrade or a major redevelopment, accurate capture at the start removes guesswork for the entire project lifecycle.
From Site to Global Engineering Teams
The process is simple:
On-site capture in Honiara or outer islands
Professional processing and QA in Australia
Engineering-ready deliverables for your designers
Immediate use for BIM, CAD and FEA anywhere in the world
No re-measuring. No assumptions. Just real data.
