Mechanical Engineering Support for PNG

Fly-In Data Capture → Australian Analysis → Capacity Outcomes

Engineer-Led. Practical. Here to Support You.

Hamilton By Design Co. is an engineer-led team that wants to support you. We connect Papua New Guinea mine sites with experienced Australian engineers and designers—flying in to collect your engineering data, then analysing it in Australia to develop upgrades that help you extract the most from your opportunity.

Don’t feel isolated because of your remoteness—we’re here to help.
Our role is to stand beside your site teams, capture what really exists, and convert that into practical actions that increase capacity, reliability, and safety.

We adapt our systems to fit yours.
Whatever platforms, standards, and workflows your operation already uses, we structure our deliverables to integrate seamlessly with your established processes.

To Mine Management – This Is About Value

You are responsible for getting maximum performance from existing assets while controlling risk and downtime. Hamilton By Design works directly with management to:

Identify constraints limiting throughput
Reduce uncertainty before capital decisions
Turn real conditions into structured engineering plans
Deliver upgrades that increase production, not just paperwork

Our focus is outcomes:
Accurate site capture → Australian engineering analysis → measurable capacity improvement.

How We Support Your Operation

1. Fly-In Engineering Data Collection

We mobilise to your PNG site to:

Capture accurate engineering information across plants, structures, conveyors, tanks, and services
Verify tie-ins, access constraints, and maintenance issues
Validate legacy drawings against reality
Engage with operators to understand bottlenecks and operating challenges

2. Australian Engineering & Design

Back in Australia our team will:

Structure the site data into design-ready formats that suit your systems
Analyse structural and mechanical limits
Develop options to increase process capacity
Produce constructable drawings and work packs for shutdown execution
Coordinate with your project teams, fabricators, and contractors

3. Capacity & Reliability Outcomes

Everything is aimed at real improvement:

Debottlenecking of chutes and conveyors
Structural upgrades for higher loads
Safer access and maintenance routes
Brownfields tie-ins with minimal downtime
Reduced rework through accurate as-builts
Practical staging to suit your shutdown strategy

PNG Mines We Can Support

Hamilton By Design can service major operations including:

Lihir (Niolam) Gold Mine – tanks, structures, plant interfaces
