At Hamilton By Design, engineering is more than a service — it’s a partnership. We work alongside your teams to design, test, and deliver solutions that help you build smarter, safer, and stronger.
Engineering Services – Hamilton By Design
At Hamilton By Design, engineering is the foundation of everything we do. With over 25 years of hands-on experience, we deliver mechanical and structural engineering solutions that support some of Australia’s most demanding industries — from mining and mineral processing to manufacturing, infrastructure, and heavy industry.
Our approach combines practical, real-world experience with cutting-edge technology such as 3D LiDAR scanning, finite element analysis (FEA), and advanced CAD modelling. The result? Designs that are accurate, compliant, and built to perform in high-risk, high-performance environments.

Supporting Technologies
Mechanical and structural designs are only as good as the data that drives them. At Hamilton By Design, we enhance our engineering services with advanced technologies:
-
3D LiDAR Scanning Services – Capturing accurate as-built conditions to eliminate surprises in plant modifications and shutdowns.
-
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) – Simulating stress, fatigue, and thermal conditions to optimise safety and performance.
-
3D CAD Modelling – Providing digital twins for fabrication, installation, and clash detection.
-
Independent Labour Observations – Third-party on-site support for safety, compliance, and quality assurance.
These complementary services ensure that every design is practical, buildable, and validated before it reaches site.
