Why 3D Scanning Matters Before Mining Equipment, Conveyor and Chute Upgrades

Reducing fabrication uncertainty, improving equipment fit-up and supporting mining shutdown planning. The Challenge of Modifying Existing Mining Equipment Mining processing plants rarely remain exactly as they were originally designed. Over time, conveyors are modified, transfer chutes are replaced, platforms are installed and mechanical equipment is upgraded to meet changing production requirements. Unfortunately, the original engineering drawings may not reflect these modifications. For maintenance superintendents, project engineers and shutdown planners, this creates an important question: How can new equipment be designed and fabricated to fit an existing mining plant when the installed geometry is uncertain? One practical solution is to use 3D LiDAR scanning before engineering design begins. Hamilton By Design combines 3D scanning, point cloud processing, mechanical engineering and CAD modelling to support mining equipment modifications across Australia. Read the full engineering ...

  For Coal Wash Plant Reliability and Maintenance Coal Handling and Preparation Plants (CHPPs) form the backbone of Australia’s coal production network — from the Bowen Basin to the Hunter Valley and the Central West. Yet these plants face relentless mechanical and environmental challenges. Every tonne of coal that passes through generates impact, vibration, slurry, and corrosion — all of which degrade mechanical systems and shorten asset life. At Hamilton By Design, we specialise in helping operators and contractors transition from reactive maintenance to precision-based, data-driven engineering. Through advanced 3D scanning, mechanical design, finite element analysis (FEA) , and practical shutdown planning, our goal is simple: design for reliability, maintain for efficiency, and execute for safety . 1. Designing for Reliability Most unplanned failures in a coal wash plant can be traced back to early design decisions. Poor geometry in chutes, undersized bearings, or inadequat...

3D Scanning Perth: Engineering-Grade LiDAR for Mining, Industrial and Fabrication Projects Accurate existing-condition information is essential when planning modifications to operating plants, mining facilities, structural steel, pipework or industrial equipment. Traditional site measurements can be slow and may not capture every obstruction, connection point or interface. This creates uncertainty during design and increases the risk of fabrication errors, clashes and expensive site rework. Hamilton By Design provides 3D scanning Perth services for engineering, mining, manufacturing, materials-handling and infrastructure projects throughout Perth and Western Australia. Our services connect site capture with practical engineering outcomes. Rather than delivering only a visual point cloud, we can process captured information into structured point clouds, engineering models, layouts and fabrication-ready documentation. Learn more about our national capability through our engineering-grad...
