Supporting Central Queensland Mining, CHPP & Materials Handling Projects
Yeppoon sits at the gateway to Central Queensland’s mining and industrial sectors. While the Capricorn Coast is well known for tourism and marine industries, the region also supports major coal mining operations, coal handling and preparation plants (CHPP), bulk materials handling facilities, industrial infrastructure and shutdown maintenance projects throughout the Bowen Basin and Central Queensland.
At Hamilton By Design, we provide engineering-grade 3D laser scanning, mechanical engineering, reverse engineering and drafting services supporting mining, processing and materials handling facilities throughout Yeppoon, Rockhampton and the wider Central Queensland region.
Our team understands industrial facilities because we come from industry. Our experience includes mining operations, CHPP facilities, smelting plants, conveyor systems, materials handling infrastructure and brownfield plant modifications.
Why Yeppoon?
Yeppoon provides strategic access to some of Australia’s most significant mining and industrial operations.
The region supports:
- Bowen Basin coal mines
- Coal handling and preparation plants (CHPP)
- Bulk materials handling systems
- Port infrastructure
- Industrial processing facilities
- Heavy engineering workshops
- Mining maintenance contractors
- Marine and coastal infrastructure
- Transport and logistics operations
For engineering companies supporting mining infrastructure, Yeppoon offers direct access to clients operating throughout Central Queensland.
Engineering-Grade 3D Laser Scanning
Not all scans are equal.
At Hamilton By Design, we specialise in engineering-grade terrestrial LiDAR scanning designed to support practical engineering outcomes.
Our scanning services assist with:
- Conveyor upgrades
- CHPP modifications
- Shutdown planning
- Structural steel verification
- Pipework design
- Access platform design
- Brownfield plant upgrades
- Equipment replacement projects
- Existing condition surveys
- Industrial asset capture
We deliver registered point cloud data suitable for:
- SolidWorks
- Autodesk Revit
- AutoCAD
- Navisworks
- Inventor
- Recap
- Digital engineering workflows
Whether capturing an entire processing plant or a critical conveyor transfer station, our team provides accurate engineering-grade information for design, fabrication and construction.
Conveyor Systems & Materials Handling
Conveyors are the backbone of many mining and processing operations throughout Central Queensland.
Hamilton By Design supports projects involving:
- Conveyor upgrades
- Transfer station modifications
- Conveyor gantries
- Belt feeder systems
- Chute design
- Structural modifications
- Maintenance access improvements
- Conveyor replacement projects
Accurate site information is critical when working within operating facilities where shutdown durations are limited and installation tolerances are tight.
Our laser scanning and engineering services help reduce risk by ensuring designs are based on real-world site conditions.
CHPP Upgrades & Brownfield Modifications
Coal Handling and Preparation Plants continue to evolve as production requirements change and equipment reaches the end of its service life.
Hamilton By Design supports CHPP projects including:
- Structural modifications
- Conveyor upgrades
- Pipework design
- Access system improvements
- Transfer chute modifications
- Equipment replacements
- Existing condition verification
- Shutdown planning support
Using engineering-grade scan data, we help project teams understand existing site conditions before fabrication and installation begin.
Shutdown Engineering Support
Shutdowns are often where accurate engineering information provides the greatest value.
Every hour of downtime carries significant cost.
Our services assist shutdown teams with:
- Existing condition capture
- Site verification
- Fabrication support
- Installation planning
- Clash detection
- As-built verification
- Asset documentation
Laser scanning prior to shutdown activities can significantly reduce rework, site fitment issues and project delays.
Reverse Engineering Services
Many mining and processing facilities continue to operate equipment where original drawings are incomplete, unavailable or no longer represent the asset currently installed.
Hamilton By Design provides reverse engineering services for:
- Conveyor components
- Chutes and transfer systems
- Pump components
- Castings
- Wear liners
- Structural assemblies
- Fabricated equipment
- Legacy plant infrastructure
Our team combines practical manufacturing knowledge with modern scanning technologies to develop detailed models and fabrication drawings suitable for refurbishment or replacement.
Mining Infrastructure Engineering
Mining infrastructure requires practical engineering solutions capable of operating in demanding environments.
We support projects involving:
- Materials handling systems
- Conveyor structures
- Access platforms
- Maintenance walkways
- Structural steelwork
- Pipework systems
- Plant modifications
- Asset upgrades
Our engineering approach focuses on constructability, maintainability and long-term asset performance.
Why Hamilton By Design?
Hamilton By Design combines practical trade experience with engineering capability.
Our background includes:
- Mechanical engineering
- Fitting and machining
- Industrial drafting
- Mining operations
- Smelting facilities
- Materials handling systems
- Site-based engineering
