🔧 Precision Engineering Meets Digital Innovation in the Mining Sector
In the heart of Australia’s mining country—Mount Isa—Hamilton By Design is delivering cutting-edge mechanical engineering solutions powered by 3D Lidar scanning and point cloud modelling.
Whether you're managing underground infrastructure, fixed plant upgrades, or brownfield expansions, our advanced tools and design expertise help you visualise, optimise, and execute projects with clarity and confidence.
🏗️ How We Support the Mining Industry
As mechanical engineering consultants, we provide services that reduce project risk, increase design accuracy, and streamline construction workflows. Key areas include:
-
Lidar 3D Scanning of existing plant, pipework, and underground assets
-
Point Cloud Creation for clash detection and design validation
-
Mechanical & Structural Drafting using accurate site data
-
Reverse Engineering of legacy plant or undocumented assets
-
Detailed Design for Modifications & Upgrades
-
Compliance, Auditing, and Risk Reduction
By combining field-tested mechanical engineering with cutting-edge digital capture, we help mining teams make better decisions—faster.
📍 Why Mount Isa?
Mount Isa is home to some of Australia's largest and most complex mining operations. From Glencore’s copper and zinc mines to contracting hubs servicing the broader North West Minerals Province, this region demands precision, speed, and deep mining knowledge.
Hamilton By Design is based locally in Mount Isa, giving us the unique advantage of rapid site access, practical experience in mining environments, and a strong understanding of local challenges.
📐 Why Use Lidar & Point Clouds?
Lidar scanning has transformed how we approach engineering projects in mining:
-
✅ Capture complex environments in minutes, not days
-
✅ Generate ultra-accurate point clouds for design, measurement, and planning
-
✅ Minimise rework by designing to exact, as-built geometry
-
✅ Visualise site constraints in 3D before committing to fabrication or install
-
✅ Integrate scan data with CAD models for seamless design workflows
From underground crushers to surface pipe racks, our Lidar system captures the details—so you can design with certainty.
💡 Use Cases in Mining Projects
Some real-world examples of how we apply mechanical engineering + Lidar scanning in mining:
-
🏭 Scanning underground pump stations for upgrade design
-
🔩 Reverse-engineering chutes and hoppers with no existing drawings
-
🚧 Capturing point clouds of processing plants for structural fit-out
-
⚙️ Laser-accurate data for mobile plant modifications and safety guarding
-
📏 Converting scan data into fabrication-ready models and drawings
