3D Scanning North Sydney – Structural Steel Detailing Central Coast

North Sydney is one of the busiest construction regions in Australia. Tower upgrades, façade replacements, new mezzanines and plant installations are constantly being delivered into existing, complex structures where original drawings are incomplete or inaccurate.

Hamilton By Design bridges that gap by combining:

3D laser scanning in North Sydney to capture the real as-built condition, and
structural steel detailing on the Central Coast to produce fabrication-ready drawings.

Capture in North Sydney – Detailing on the Central Coast

Our approach removes the uncertainty that traditionally surrounds brownfields work.

On-site 3D scan in North Sydney – buildings, steel frames, plant and services
Convert to an accurate engineering point cloud
Structural steel detailing completed on the Central Coast
Issue shop drawings and models for fabrication

The scan becomes the single source of truth, allowing our Central Coast detailers to work with confidence without repeated site visits.

Why 3D Scanning Matters for Structural Steel

North Sydney projects often involve:

strengthening of existing buildings
new rooftop plant platforms
façade and awning replacements
retrofitting mezzanines
tie-ins to ageing steelwork

Manual measurement struggles with these conditions. A point cloud captures:

true beam sizes and locations
floor levels and deflections
bolt patterns and connections
clashes with services

From this, our team produces accurate steel models and drawings ready for fabrication.

Deliverables From One Scan

Structural steel GA drawings
Connection details and shop drawings
Tekla / Revit models
DXF, STEP and Parasolid files
Clash reviews against services
Fabrication quantities

Engineers design with real geometry; fabricators build without surprises.

Central Coast Drafting Advantage

Completing the detailing on the NSW Central Coast provides:

experienced steel detailers
fast turnaround without Sydney overheads
direct collaboration with your engineer
practical fabrication knowledge

We capture in North Sydney, but the modelling, thinking and detailing happens locally on the Coast.

Ideal North Sydney Projects

Commercial tower upgrades
Heritage building alterations
Plant change-outs
Rooftop structures
Warehouse and mezzanine works
Remediation and insurance projects

Start With Accurate Data

If you have a North Sydney project that needs reliable as-built information and professional structural steel detailing, we can take you from scan to finished drawings.

3D Engineering Scanning Solomon Islands – Point Clouds for BIM & FEA

Reliable Point Clouds for BIM, CAD & FEA Anywhere in the World

Hamilton By Design provides engineering-grade 3D laser scanning services across the Solomon Islands, delivering accurate point clouds that allow designers, engineers, and asset owners to work from real measured data—without the need to be on site.

From Honiara ports to remote island infrastructure, our scans create the digital backbone for modelling, analysis, and fabrication.

Engineering Data You Can Trust

Many assets in the Solomon Islands have:

limited or missing drawings
decades of informal modifications
corrosion from marine environments
cyclone and seismic exposure
mixed construction standards

Traditional measurement methods struggle in these conditions. Our 3D scanning service captures the true as-built condition so your team can:

create BIM and CAD models
perform structural and mechanical FEA
plan brownfields tie-ins
fabricate off-site with confidence
complete clash detection before shutdowns

We deliver open, neutral formats so engineers anywhere in Australia, New Zealand, Asia or Europe can immediately begin work.

What We Deliver

Core Outputs

Registered point clouds – E57 / RCP / LAS
Colourised engineering datasets
Site grid or project datum
Mesh models for Navisworks
2D plans, elevations and sections

Optional Engineering Deliverables

Scan-to-BIM models (LOD 200–350)
Steel and pipe geometry extraction
Tie-in coordinates for upgrades
Deformation and roundness reports
Clash and constructability reviews

All data is processed in Australia under formal QA so it can be relied upon for design approvals and FEA studies.

Designed for Solomon Islands Conditions

Scanning in the Solomons requires Pacific experience:

high heat and humidity
sudden tropical rain
reflective stainless and bright sunlight
inter-island logistics
remote power availability
cyclone season planning

Our workflows are built for efficient field capture with processing completed by our Australian engineering team.

Industries We Support

Honiara ports and marine infrastructure
Power generation and substations
Water and wastewater assets
Timber and processing facilities
Government and commercial buildings
Bridges and civil structures
Post-cyclone condition surveys

A Digital Backbone for Global Teams

A quality scan is the backbone of every downstream task.
If the backbone is wrong, every model and FEA result is compromised.

Our service provides a foundation that:

removes re-measure risk
supports remote engineering
shortens shutdowns
improves safety and constructability

Designers anywhere in the world can open our data and begin work immediately.
