Engineering Services

Engineer-Led Digital Engineering, Design & Verification

Hamilton By Design provides engineering-led digital engineering services that combine 3D LiDAR laser scanning, mechanical engineering, structural assessment, 3D CAD modelling, drafting, and verification to support industrial, infrastructure, mining, and commercial projects across Australia.

Our services are designed for brownfield environments, retrofit projects, plant upgrades, and safety-critical assets—where accuracy, constructability, and compliance matter.

This page provides an overview of our core engineering services, with links to detailed service pages.

3D LiDAR Laser Scanning & Digital Capture

High-accuracy, engineering-grade reality capture

We deliver professional 3D LiDAR laser scanning to capture existing site conditions with millimetre-level accuracy. Our scanning services form the foundation for reliable engineering, modelling, and fabrication outcomes.

Typical applications include:

Brownfield plant upgrades
As-built documentation
Clash detection and constructability reviews
Retrofit and refurbishment projects

3D CAD Modelling & Point Cloud to CAD

From scan data to build-ready models

We convert point-cloud data into accurate, intelligent 3D CAD models using SolidWorks and industry-standard workflows. Models are structured to support engineering analysis, drafting, and fabrication.

Deliverables include:

Mechanical and structural 3D models
Equipment and pipework models
GA layouts and coordination models
Fabrication-ready assemblies
