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

Image
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 ...

Structural Drafting

Quality Structural Drafting

At Hamilton By Design, we have decades of experience in structural drafting.

We know how important it is to have precise, accurate structural information, and our structural drafting professionals are skilled enough to relay information to architects and contractors. The team at Hamilton By Design specializes in both 3-D and 2-D structural drafting to help you communicate your building vision.

We have the know-how to convert any concept or hand drawn drafting plan into a detailed drawing that can fit any budget without sacrificing quality. No matter what technology you'd like to use to complete your construction project, our firm can draft detailed structural drawings that will align with your needs.

Mechanical Engineering Strategies

  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 Services

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...

Transforming Projects with 3D Scanning in Sydney

Image
3D Lidar Scanning in Sydney Sydney’s construction and engineering sectors are evolving fast — and 3D laser scanning is at the heart of this transformation. Whether you’re upgrading an industrial plant, planning a new commercial development, or managing complex infrastructure projects, having an accurate digital representation of your site is crucial. 3D scanning in Sydney delivers millimetre-precise point clouds that eliminate guesswork, reduce rework, and streamline project timelines. By capturing every detail — from structural steel to pipework — in a single, high-resolution scan, project teams can make faster, smarter decisions. At Hamilton by Design , we provide professional 3D laser scanning services across Sydney , helping engineers, architects, and builders create reliable as-built models, detect potential clashes before construction begins, and improve overall project efficiency. This intro does three important things: -  Localizes the service by highlighting Sydney...
