Mining Engineering Services Australia
Hamilton By Design provides specialist mining engineering services supporting brownfield upgrades, plant modifications, and asset life-extension projects across Australia.
Our mining services combine engineer-led 3D LiDAR scanning, SolidWorks-based mechanical design, finite element analysis (FEA), and fabrication-ready documentation to reduce site risk, rework, and downtime. We work closely with mine owners, EPCMs, and fabricators to deliver practical, buildable engineering solutions for operating sites.
Engineering Services for Mining Operations
Mining assets operate in demanding environments where legacy drawings are often incomplete or unreliable. Hamilton By Design specialises in engineering services that start with accurate as-built capture and finish with constructible design documentation.
We support:
- Operating mines and CHPP facilities
- Brownfield plant upgrades and retrofits
- Shutdown and maintenance projects
- Safety, access, and compliance upgrades
- Life-of-asset improvement programs
Our approach is tailored to live operational sites, minimising disruption while delivering reliable engineering outcomes.
Engineer-Led 3D LiDAR Scanning for Mining Sites
Accurate site data is the foundation of effective mining engineering. Hamilton By Design delivers engineer-led 3D laser scanning, ensuring the person responsible for the design understands site constraints from the outset.
Our scanning services support:
- CHPPs and materials handling facilities
- Conveyors, transfer chutes, and hoppers
- Structural steel, platforms, and walkways
- Pipework, mechanical services, and plant rooms

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) & Engineering Verification
Where required, Hamilton By Design applies Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to verify structural performance, fatigue risk, and load paths for mining assets.
FEA is commonly applied to:
- Modified steel structures and platforms
- Equipment supports and frames
- Conveyor and chute modifications
- Brownfield load changes

Fabrication-Ready Drawings & Digital QA
In mining projects, fabrication errors can lead to costly delays and extended shutdowns. Hamilton By Design delivers fabrication-ready drawings developed directly from verified 3D models and scan data.
Our drafting services include:
- General arrangement drawings
- Fabrication and assembly drawings
- BOMs and part schedules
- Digital QA against point-cloud data

Supporting Mining Projects in a Skills-Constrained Market
Across Australia, skilled engineering and construction resources are increasingly limited. Hamilton By Design helps mining clients reduce reliance on site-based engineering, streamline design workflows, and progress projects with greater certainty.
Our integrated scan-to-engineering delivery model:
- Reduces site visits and re-measurement
- Minimises RFIs and design revisions
- Improves coordination with fabricators
- Accelerates design-to-installation timelines
