Pipework Drafting

The team at Hamilton By Design Provides a pipework drafting service. In general terms our pipework 3d models are derived from 3D Point cloud scans.

If it is the case where you do not have a 3D point cloud scan, we can create one for you we can also develop 3D pipework route from tradition 2D drawings and or PID information.

From our 3D models our visualization tools offer the possibility of feasibility studies that can be created along with design reviews for fit functionality and safety.

The team at Hamilton By Design have been creating pipework design proposals with the option to progressing to fully detailed spool drawings once design approval has been received. For more than 20 years our team also offer engineering design drafting and detailing services to the mining, steelmaking, construction and infrastructure sectors across Australia.

With the latest in three dimensional parametric and virtual imagining technology in-house our forte has been derived to offer cost effective solutions not only in initial construction yet non going operational cost.

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:

Mechanical & Structural Drafting Services

Precision Drafting & LiDAR Scanning Services

At Hamilton By Design, we deliver high-quality mechanical and structural drafting services backed by engineering expertise and integrated 3D LiDAR scanning. Our team produces technically accurate, standards-compliant documentation that supports every stage of your project — from initial concept and detailed design through to fabrication and construction.

Whether you’re detailing complex machinery, developing steel structures, or capturing existing site conditions with advanced LiDAR scanning, our drafting outputs are engineered for clarity, accuracy, and reliable build-ready execution.

Why Work With Us

Accurate drafting is fundamental to reducing errors, improving communication, and keeping your project on schedule. Our drafting solutions help you:

Create fabrication-ready drawings compliant with Australian standards (e.g., AS 1100, AS 4100, AS 4041).
Enhance collaboration between design, engineering, and fabrication teams.
Minimise delays, costly rework, and onsite clashes.
Simplify procurement, workshop fabrication, and site installation.
Incorporate real-world site data using precise 3D LiDAR scans.

What We Produce

Structural Drafting: Detailed plans for steel frameworks, foundations, platforms, and industrial structures, prepared for compliance and constructability. Key outputs include structural layouts, foundation details, connection drawings, and shop drawings for fabricators.

Mechanical Drafting: Comprehensive documentation for plant layouts, machinery, piping systems, and assemblies. Deliverables include detailed part and assembly drawings, P&IDs, equipment layouts, bills of materials, and support for pressure piping and HVAC systems.

Detail Drafting & As-Built Capture

Our detail drafting services define every component clearly and accurately, ready for fabrication. By integrating high-accuracy 3D LiDAR scanning, we capture existing site geometry to support retrofit design, clash detection, reverse engineering, digital twin development, and upgrade planning.
