Precision Engineering for Mining, Steel, Manufacturing & Infrastructure
Hamilton By Design supports industry across Newcastle and the Hunter Valley with high-accuracy 3D laser scanning, mechanical and structural engineering, SolidWorks modelling, and fabrication-ready deliverables.
From CHPP plants to heavy manufacturing, we help your team deliver projects that fit first time, every time.
Whether you operate a coal handling facility, a steel mill, a power station, a manufacturing line, or a fabrication workshop, our digital workflows remove rework, reduce shutdown risk, and keep projects moving.
Why the Region Relies on Hamilton By Design
The Newcastle–Hunter corridor is one of Australia’s most engineering-intensive regions, home to:
- Glencore coal operations
- BHP Mt Arthur Coal
- BlueScope Steel
- Ampcontrol Tomago
- Molycop Waratah
- PWCS Kooragang & Carrington
- Bayswater & Liddell Power Stations
- A large network of fabrication and machining workshops
These assets require measurement certainty, digital QA, and accurate engineering models to execute upgrades, fabricate replacements, or plan shutdowns.
That’s where Hamilton By Design delivers value.
Our Core Services
✔ 3D LiDAR Laser Scanning
High-accuracy FARO scanning for:
- CHPP modules, conveyors, chutes, structural frames
- Reclaimers, crushers, ROM bins, stockpile conveyors
- Manufacturing plants and production lines
- Steel structures and walkways
- Pipe spools and pump skids
- Power station equipment, ducting, and access systems
We capture the built environment with sub-millimetre precision.
✔ Point Cloud Processing & Digital Twins
Your scanned environment is processed into clean, accessible formats for decisions and design:
- Colourised point clouds
- Autodesk, Navisworks, & SolidWorks compatible
- De-cluttering, segmentation, and alignment
- As-built digital twins
This forms the foundation of our engineering accuracy.
✔ SolidWorks 3D Modelling & Detail Drafting
We transform your scan data into:
- Fabrication-ready 3D models
- Sheet metal components
- Structural frames
- Pipe spools
- Chute geometry
- Reverse-engineered machinery
All models are delivered with clear origin, mass properties, and assembly logic built in.
✔ Mechanical & Structural Engineering
Our engineering capability supports:
- Conveyor upgrades
- Diverter chutes
- Structural strengthening
- Access systems
- Vibrating equipment assessments
- Pumping and fluid transfer systems
- Walkways, stairs, platforms
We design with purpose and detail—fit-for-service and fabrication-ready.
✔ FEA, Simulation & Digital QA
We validate the performance of your designs:
- Static stress analysis
- Weld assessments
- Fatigue checks
- Lifting and handling design
- Load cases for mining applications
Every analysis is supported by documented reports.
