High-Accuracy Laser Scanning for Mining, Engineering & Fabrication
Hamilton By Design delivers high-precision 3D LiDAR scanning for Perth-based engineering teams, fabrication workshops and remote WA mining operations.
Whether your project is in Welshpool, the Pilbara, Kalgoorlie, or anywhere across regional WA, our 3D scans provide the accurate as-built data you need to design, model and install with confidence.
Why Perth Chooses Us for 3D Scanning
Perth is Australia’s engineering hub for remote mining operations.
Our scanning services support:
- BHP, Rio Tinto, FMG & Roy Hill iron ore sites (Pilbara)
- Gold Fields, Northern Star & Evolution Mining (Kalgoorlie / Goldfields)
- Lithium & battery metal operations (Greenbushes, Kwinana, Mid-West)
- LNG, ports & heavy industry across WA
- Perth-based fabrication workshops and EPCMs
We capture reality with millimetre-grade accuracy so your fabrication, modelling and site work goes together first time, every time.
What We Scan
We provide 3D LiDAR scanning for:
Mining & Processing
- CHPPs / ore handling plants
- Conveyors, stackers, reclaimers
- Crushers, screen decks, bins & hoppers
- Process piping & pipe racks
- Structural platforms & access systems
Fabrication & OEM
- Skids & modular assemblies
- Pipe spools & mechanical packages
- Reverse engineering of components
- Digital QA before shipping to site
Commercial & Industrial
- Plant rooms & building services
- Warehouses & industrial facilities
- Ports, load-out systems & conveyors
If it needs to fit up on site, we can scan it.
What You Receive
After scanning, you can receive:
✔ Registered Point Cloud
- E57 / LAS / RCP / RCS
- Ready for design teams or consultants
✔ 3D CAD Models
- SolidWorks
- STEP / IGES
- IFC (for BIM workflows)
✔ 2D Drawings & Deliverables
- Fabrication drawings
- GA layouts
- Section cuts & clearance checks
✔ Digital QA
- Verify workshop fabrication
- Ensure your modules fit onsite conditions
- Clash checks & alignment reports
Scanning in High-Risk Areas
We can scan in:
- Confined spaces
- At heights / on platforms
- Inside process plants
- In EWPs
- Hazardous or restricted zones
Our personnel hold current high-risk licences, WAHA, confined space, and full site-induction compliance.
Why 3D Scanning Matters in Perth & WA Mining
WA projects require absolute accuracy because:
- Remote shutdowns are expensive
- Fabrication is done in Perth but installed hundreds of km away
- Rework on site costs millions
- Design teams need reliable as-built data
- Upgrades must match existing plant exactly
A single scanning campaign in Perth or onsite can eliminate months of guesswork, site revisits and costly clashes during installation.
