3D Scanning for Structural Drafting Perth | Engineer-Led
Accurate As-Built Data for WA Mining, Ports & Industrial Assets — No Guesswork
At Hamilton By Design, we provide 3D LiDAR scanning for structural drafting from our Perth engineering hub, supporting projects across Western Australia including remote mining sites, ports, oil & gas facilities, and brownfield industrial assets.
In WA environments, compliance risk, access constraints, and long shutdown windows mean there is little tolerance for error. Inaccurate or assumed as-built information often leads to fabrication clashes, rework, and costly delays. Our approach removes that risk by capturing real site conditions and converting them into engineering-ready structural drafting.
Why 3D Scanning Matters for Structural Drafting in Western Australia
WA projects are often characterised by:
- Remote sites supported from Perth engineering offices
- Complex brownfield assets with limited documentation
- Long shutdown windows and restricted site access
- Coordination challenges between site teams, Perth engineers, and fabricators
- High compliance requirements for mining, oil & gas, and port infrastructure
Traditional manual measurement and assumed geometry introduce risk. Engineering-grade 3D scanning provides a reliable foundation for structural drafting, particularly where site access is limited and fabrication accuracy is critical.
Integrated 3D Scanning and Structural Drafting
For WA projects, we deliver 3D scanning and structural drafting as an integrated service.
Our workflow typically includes:
3D LiDAR scanning → 3D modelling → structural engineering → FEA (where required) → structural drafting
This integrated approach ensures:
- Structural drawings are based on verified, real-world geometry
- Compliance risks are identified early
- Fabricated steel fits first time
- Engineering and drafting decisions remain aligned
For many WA mining, port, and oil & gas assets, structural drafting without 3D scanning is high-risk. Scanning removes assumptions and provides defensible data for engineering and fabrication.
One Perth Engineering Hub — Supporting WA & Remote Sites
We operate with Perth as our engineering base, supporting:
- Pilbara, Goldfields, Mid West, and remote mining regions
- Ports, shipyards, and marine infrastructure (including Fremantle)
- Oil & gas and energy facilities
- Brownfield industrial plants and processing facilities
This model allows accurate site capture combined with centralised engineering, drafting, and coordination from Perth—reducing communication gaps and improving delivery certainty.
Typical WA Applications
Our 3D scanning for structural drafting services support:
- Mining infrastructure and remote site upgrades
- Port, shipyard, and marine structures
- Oil & gas and energy facilities
- Brownfield industrial plants
- Heavy fabrication and workshop coordination
- Government and council infrastructure assets
Each project is approached with a clear understanding of access constraints, shutdown planning, and compliance obligations.
Our clients:
Managing Compliance, Access & Shutdown Risk
We understand that WA projects often carry:
- High compliance exposure
- Limited access opportunities
- Tight shutdown schedules
- Significant cost of rework
All structural drafting is developed in accordance with:
- The National Construction Code (NCC)
- Relevant Australian Standards
- Client, asset, and industry-specific engineering requirements
Our deliverables provide defensible, data-backed documentation that supports engineering reviews, fabrication, and installation in high-risk environments.
Designed for WA Project Engineers & Fabricators
This service is designed for:
- Project engineers coordinating remote WA sites
- Perth-based engineering and drafting teams
- Fabricators requiring accurate, buildable drawings
- Asset owners managing ageing infrastructure
- Government and port authorities
We work collaboratively with your existing teams, fitting into established workflows rather than disrupting them.
