Chutes & Transfer Stations:
Why Engineering-Grade 3D Scanning Delivers Superior Accuracy In bulk materials handling systems, chutes and transfer stations represent some of the most geometrically complex and operationally critical areas of any plant. They sit at the intersection of conveyors, structures, liners, skirts, and access systems — often in live, highly constrained environments. In these conditions, accuracy is not optional . Hamilton By Design approaches chute and transfer station projects from the position that engineering-grade 3D laser scanning provides a level of accuracy and reliability that traditional measurement and legacy drawings cannot achieve . This accuracy underpins every downstream decision, from modelling and detailing through to fabrication and installation. Chutes & Transfer Stations: Geometry Matters Chutes and transfer stations manage changes in: Direction Velocity Material flow behaviour Structural load paths Small geometric deviations can result in: Material spillage Acce...
