Tag: as4100-structural-steel

Hamilton By Design provides structural steelwork drafting, 3D LiDAR scanning and CAD modelling to support projects designed with reference to AS 4100.

AS 4100 establishes requirements for the design of steel structures. Hamilton By Design’s role is to convert approved structural engineering information into coordinated 3D models, general arrangements and fabrication drawings—not to provide structural design certification.

Our drafting and modelling services can support equipment frames, platforms, walkways, stairs, gantries, supports and other industrial steelwork. Depending on the project, our services may include:

  • Existing-condition LiDAR scanning
  • Point-cloud registration
  • As-built structural steelwork models
  • General arrangement drawings
  • Member and assembly drawings
  • Approved connection details
  • Fabrication and installation drawings
  • Material and parts lists
  • Clash and clearance reviews

Where existing drawings are incomplete, LiDAR scanning can capture installed steel members, equipment interfaces and surrounding plant. The resulting point cloud provides a reliable spatial reference for modelling modifications and coordinating new steelwork with existing conditions.

Member sizes, connections, loads and structural details must be supplied or approved by the project’s structural engineer. Structural calculations, connection design, design certification and final structural approval remain the responsibility of an appropriately qualified and registered structural engineer.

Fabrication and erection requirements may also involve AS/NZS 5131 and other standards specified by the structural engineer or project documentation.

Structural Steel Detailing for Industrial and Mining Projects

Hamilton By Design provides structural drafting services for mining, industrial, and infrastructure projects across Australia. Our team prepares clear and accurate structural drawings that support fabrication, installation, and plant upgrades.

Many industrial sites require modifications to existing structures to support new equipment, conveyors, pipework systems, and maintenance access platforms. Our drafting services ensure these changes are documented with precise engineering drawings that contractors and fabricators can confidently work from.

Structural Steel Drafting for Industrial Facilities

Structural steel plays a critical role in most industrial plants. Hamilton By Design supports projects requiring structural drafting for:

  • Equipment support structures
  • Conveyor and materials handling structures
  • Pipework support frames
  • Access platforms and walkways
  • Plant structural modifications

Our drafting workflow ensures that structural designs integrate correctly with existing infrastructure, reducing installation issues and rework during construction.

Capturing Existing Conditions Before Drafting

One of the challenges in structural modifications is understanding the existing plant conditions before design begins. Hamilton By Design uses engineering-grade 3D laser scanning to capture accurate site geometry.

Laser scanning allows us to produce highly accurate point cloud data that can be used to develop detailed structural models and drawings.

Capturing existing conditions before plant upgrades

From Point Cloud to Engineering Drawings

After scanning, point cloud data can be converted into accurate CAD models and structural layouts. This workflow allows engineers and fabricators to understand how new structural steel will interact with existing plant equipment.

More information about this workflow can be found here:

From Point Cloud to Engineering Model Workflow

Supporting Mining and Industrial Projects

Hamilton By Design regularly supports projects including:

  • Mining plant upgrades
  • Processing plant modifications
  • Structural upgrades during shutdowns
  • Materials handling infrastructure

These projects often occur during limited shutdown windows where accurate drawings are essential for efficient installation.

You can learn more about how laser scanning supports shutdown projects here:
