3D Scanning Engineering in Parks

3D Scanning in Parks NSW

Parks (Parkes), NSW is one of Australia’s most strategically important inland engineering centres. Known globally for the Parkes Radio Telescope and nationally for its role as a freight, rail, and agricultural hub, engineering in Parks is driven by precision, logistics, and reliability. Projects here often support large catchment areas, seasonal peak demand, and long-distance supply chains — which means there is little tolerance for rework or uncertainty.

Hamilton By Design supports Parks projects with engineering-led 3D LiDAR laser scanning, mechanical and structural engineering, 3D modelling, FEA, and easy-to-build fabrication drawings, helping clients move from site data to construction with confidence.

Engineering in Parks: Precision Meets Logistics

Engineering in Parks is shaped by several unique factors:

  • National-scale scientific and communications infrastructure
  • Inland rail, intermodal freight, and bulk logistics
  • Grain handling, storage, and agricultural processing
  • Emerging industrial development through the Special Activation Precinct

These environments demand engineering solutions that are accurate, robust, and practical, especially where assets operate continuously or are difficult to access once installed.

3D Laser Scanning for Parks Projects

Accurate 3D LiDAR laser scanning is the foundation of successful engineering in Parks.

Hamilton By Design captures high-resolution as-built data for:

  • Rail and logistics infrastructure
  • Grain silos, conveyors, and bulk-handling systems
  • Industrial buildings and plant
  • Existing assets with limited or outdated drawings

3D scanning records the true geometry of assets — including misalignment, deflection, settlement, and undocumented modifications. This is critical in Parks, where infrastructure is often upgraded in stages and must remain operational during works.

The result is fewer assumptions, fewer site visits, and reduced construction risk.

3D Modelling from Real As-Built Conditions

From the point cloud, Hamilton By Design develops accurate 3D CAD models that reflect what is actually on site.

Our 3D modelling services support:

  • Brownfield upgrades and capacity increases
  • Clash detection around existing services and structures
  • Modular and transportable designs
  • Fabrication planning and installation sequencing
  • Long-term digital asset records

For Parks projects — where components are often fabricated offsite and installed under tight timeframes — modelling from real data significantly improves build confidence.

3D CAD Modelling

FEA to Verify Performance and Reliability

Many assets in Parks operate under high cyclic loading, seasonal peaks, and demanding inland conditions. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to confirm performance and guide upgrade decisions.

Hamilton By Design applies FEA to:

  • Verify structural capacity of existing assets
  • Assess fatigue, stress concentrations, and deflection
  • Check modifications to silos, frames, and handling systems
  • Support strengthening and life-extension strategies

By analysing as-built geometry, FEA results are more representative of real behaviour — critical for assets that must operate reliably during harvest and freight peaks.

FEA Capabilities

Easy-to-Build Fabrication and Installation Drawings

Clear, practical documentation is essential for regional projects where fabrication and installation teams rely on drawings to get the job done efficiently.

Hamilton By Design produces easy-to-build fabrication drawings, including:

  • General arrangement drawings
  • Fabrication and workshop details
  • Installation and lifting layouts
  • As-built documentation

Because drawings are developed directly from scanned data and validated 3D models, they align closely with site reality, reduce ambiguity, and minimise rework.
