Engineering-Grade 3D Laser Scanning Across Australia | Hamilton By Design
Precision Capture. Engineering Accuracy. National Coverage.
Hamilton By Design delivers engineering-grade 3D laser scanning and LiDAR services across Australia — supporting mining, heavy industry, infrastructure and commercial projects with accurate, design-ready data.
We don’t just capture point clouds.
We deliver engineered geometry ready for decision-making, modification, compliance and fabrication.
Why Engineering-Grade Matters
Not all 3D scanning is equal.
Survey-grade and visual scans may produce impressive imagery, but engineering projects require:
- Measurable accuracy
- Structured point cloud management
- Traceable coordinate systems
- Cleaned and classified data
- CAD-ready deliverables
- Integration into engineering governance workflows
Our scanning workflows are built specifically for:
- Mechanical modifications
- Structural upgrades
- Lifting device verification
- Brownfield plant upgrades
- Shutdown planning
- Retrofit installations
National Coverage
Hamilton By Design provides scanning services across:
- New South Wales
- Queensland
- Western Australia
- Victoria
- South Australia
- Northern Territory
We regularly support projects in:
Sydney • Newcastle • Central Coast • Brisbane • Mount Isa • Perth • Melbourne • Broken Hill • Darwin
Remote and regional projects are part of our operating model.
Our Engineering Workflow
Site Capture
Using professional LiDAR and engineering-grade scanning equipment, we capture:
- Existing plant layouts
- Structural steel
- Mechanical systems
- Confined and complex environments
- Large industrial footprints
Data Processing
We clean, register and align point clouds into structured datasets suitable for:
- 3D modelling
- Clash detection
- FEA preparation
- Fabrication detailing
- Engineering verification
Engineering Integration
Unlike survey-only providers, we integrate scans into:
- Solid models
- Assembly models
- 2D drawings
- Revision-controlled documentation
- Compliance frameworks
This ensures your scan becomes a working engineering asset — not just a visual reference.
Typical Applications
- Mining plant modifications
- Conveyor upgrades
- Chute redesign
- Lifting beam retrofits
- Tank and vessel alterations
- Brownfield automation projects
- Shutdown verification and planning
- As-built validation for compliance
Accuracy & Deliverables
We provide:
- Registered point clouds
- Cleaned and segmented datasets
- STEP / IGES / native CAD formats
- 2D layouts
- 3D assemblies
- Structured file naming and revision control
Deliverables can align with your:
- Engineering standards
- ISO document control
- Mining governance frameworks
- AS compliance requirements
Governance & Data Security
Engineering data is intellectual property.
We integrate our scanning outputs into structured governance frameworks and can support secure data management workflows using enterprise-level platforms.
This means:
- Controlled access
- Version traceability
- Secure archiving
- 24/7 accessibility
Your geometry remains protected and usable long-term.
Why Hamilton By Design?
✔ Engineering-led scanning (not survey-only)
✔ Mining and heavy industry experience
✔ National capability
✔ Governance-focused deliverables
✔ Integration into design, FEA and fabrication
✔ Practical understanding of shutdown constraints
We understand how scanning supports real engineering decisions — because we operate inside those environments.
Reduce Risk Before You Fabricate
Incorrect geometry causes:
- Rework
- Fabrication delays
- Misalignment on site
- Compliance issues
- Cost escalation
Engineering-grade 3D laser scanning removes uncertainty before steel is cut.
