3D Scanning Warrnambool – Engineering-Grade LiDAR for As-Builts & Design

 3D Scanning Warrnambool | Engineering-Grade LiDAR & As-Builts | Hamilton By Design

Hamilton By Design provides engineering-grade 3D laser scanning services in Warrnambool and the Southwest Victorian region. We capture accurate existing-condition data and convert it into practical deliverables—registered point clouds, CAD drawings, and BIM-ready models—so your team can design, fabricate, verify, and build with confidence.

Whether you’re working in heavy industry, utilities, marine assets, commercial buildings, or infrastructure upgrades, 3D scanning reduces rework by ensuring your design starts from the truth on site.

Why 3D scanning in Warrnambool

Warrnambool projects often involve active sites, limited shutdown windows, coastal exposure, and assets that have evolved over time. Traditional measure-ups can miss critical interfaces and hidden tolerances.

3D scanning helps you:

  • Capture complex geometry quickly (without “tape-measure drafting” risk)

  • Reduce site revisits and downtime

  • Coordinate multiple disciplines from a single verified dataset

  • Improve safety by minimising time spent in hazardous areas

  • Create reliable documentation for maintenance and upgrades


What we deliver

We tailor outputs to suit your workflow—whether you’re designing, fabricating, or verifying.

Common deliverables include:

  • Registered point clouds (industry-standard formats for CAD coordination)

  • As-built CAD drawings (plans, elevations, sections)

  • 3D models for coordination (scan-to-CAD / scan-to-BIM as required)

  • Steelwork interface models for fabrication checks and clash avoidance

  • Verification scans for installation QA and tolerance checks

  • Progress capture for staged works or shutdown packages


Typical use cases in the Warrnambool region

Industrial & processing

  • Brownfields modifications, plant upgrades, access platforms, piping interfaces

Marine & coastal assets

  • Repair planning, deformation checks, retrofit interfaces, corrosion-affected structures

Buildings & refurbishments

  • Accurate as-builts for renovations, heritage or complex geometry, services coordination

Infrastructure & utilities

  • Pump stations, treatment assets, substations, corridors and constrained sites


Our process

1) Scope & outcomes
We confirm what you need to design or verify and set the required accuracy and coverage.

2) On-site capture
Efficient scanning to suit operations—day works, night works, or shutdown windows.

3) Registration & QA
Data is registered, checked, and packaged so it’s usable by your project team.

4) Deliverables
Point clouds and/or models issued in agreed formats, with clear file naming and coordination notes.


Accuracy and engineering confidence

A scan is only valuable if it’s reliable and fit-for-purpose. We treat 3D scanning as the backbone of the project—if the backbone is compromised, everything downstream becomes harder.

Our focus is practical engineering outcomes: verified geometry, reduced uncertainty, and deliverables your designers and fabricators can trust.


Service area

We support Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Koroit, Terang, Camperdown, Mortlake, Hamilton, and broader Southwest Victoria—with capability to mobilise regionally as needed.
