Tag: fixed-plant-assets
Hamilton By Design provides fixed plant engineering, 3D scanning and CAD support for mining, materials-handling and mineral-processing facilities.
Fixed plant assets can include crushers, screens, conveyors, transfer chutes, bins, tanks, pumps, pipework, platforms, walkways and supporting structures. Accurate information about these assets is essential when planning maintenance, replacement equipment and brownfield plant modifications.
Our services include 3D LiDAR scanning, as-built capture, point-cloud registration, mechanical design, scan-to-CAD modelling, fabrication drawings and installation verification. Existing equipment and surrounding structures can be captured to help identify spatial constraints, connection points, maintenance access and potential clashes.
Models and drawings can support asset upgrades, shutdown planning, equipment replacement, reverse engineering and the development of reliable digital asset records. Deliverables may include registered point clouds, 3D CAD models, general arrangements, fabrication drawings and data for AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor, ReCap and Navisworks workflows.
Services are available throughout NSW, Queensland, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and other mining and industrial regions across Australia.
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.
In terms of Pipework Drafting our services include:`
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.
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:
Hamilton By Design supports engineering teams, contractors, and plant operators requiring structural drafting services for industrial environments. Our services combine practical engineering experience with modern digital capture technologies to deliver reliable structural documentation.
