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 ...

3D LiDAR Scanning at Tomago – Reducing Shutdown Risks in Aluminium Processing Plants

-
Image
Supporting Industrial Maintenance, Plant Modifications and Mechanical Engineering in Tomago, NSW Industrial facilities in Tomago, near Newcastle in New South Wales, operate with complex mechanical equipment, structural steelwork, pipework, conveyors and processing infrastructure. For aluminium smelting and associated manufacturing operations, maintaining accurate information about existing plant conditions is essential when planning equipment upgrades, replacement components and maintenance shutdowns. Hamilton By Design provides 3D LiDAR scanning, point cloud modelling and mechanical engineering services to support industrial facilities throughout Tomago, Newcastle and the Hunter Region. Why Accurate Plant Measurements Matter Industrial plant modifications can be challenging when existing drawings are outdated, incomplete or do not reflect changes made during previous maintenance activities. Traditional site measurements may also miss important details, particularly around congested pi...

Image
Planning Mining Plant Upgrades Around Ulaanbaatar: Why Existing Conditions Matter Before replacing a chute, modifying a conveyor or adding a maintenance platform, one question needs answering: what is actually installed on site? For mining and mineral processing projects around Ulaanbaatar, also known as Ulan Bator , reliable existing-condition information helps connect engineering design with fabrication and installation. Hamilton By Design’s guide to mechanical engineering and 3D LiDAR scanning in Ulaanbaatar explores how measured plant information, mechanical design and maintenance access planning can support industrial upgrades. A Regional Mining Context The mining operations discussed in the guide include Baganuur and Shivee-Ovoo coal mines, together with the Boroo and Ulaanbulag gold operations. These sites are spread across outlying districts and surrounding provinces. They provide a regional context for discussing coal handling, mineral processing and equipment maintenance rat...

Chute Design for Mining and Mineral Processing in Limeira, Brazil

-
Image
Chute Design for Mining and Mineral Processing in Limeira, Brazil A recurring chute blockage can interrupt an entire processing circuit. Concentrated liner wear, spillage and uneven conveyor loading can also turn a small transfer point into a persistent maintenance problem. Hamilton By Design offers chute design support for mining equipment manufacturers, fabrication workshops and mineral processing businesses in Limeira, São Paulo , bringing Australian mining experience to opportunities for collaboration in Brazil. Our approach connects material behaviour, existing plant geometry and practical mechanical design. What makes a reliable transfer chute? A chute needs to receive material from one item of equipment and deliver it appropriately to the next. That requires consideration of more than the steel enclosure. Material characteristics, conveyor speed, discharge trajectory, transfer height and receiving equipment all influence the design. Key project inputs include: Material type, bul...

Measuring Above Your Head: 3D Laser Scanning at Swanson Dock

Image
Measuring Above Your Head: 3D Laser Scanning at Swanson Dock Before a maintenance team can replace a bracket, modify a platform or install new equipment, someone needs to establish what is already there. At a container terminal, that information may be several metres above ground. The connection could sit beneath an access platform, beside a crane support or behind existing services. Measuring the component is one task. Understanding the space around it is another. For projects at Swanson Dock East and West in Melbourne, ground-based 3D laser scanning can help capture visible equipment and infrastructure before the team commits to design, fabrication or installation. The practical benefit: capture suitable elevated features while the scanner operator remains on the ground. The measurement you need may include the surrounding equipment Consider a proposed replacement equipment support. The original drawing may show its overall dimensions and nominal position. However, the installation t...
