What a Mechanical Engineering Design Company Should Deliver

A capable mechanical design partner doesnโ€™t just โ€œdraw it up.โ€ They help you reduce risk and get outcomes that work in the field. That includes:

  • Engineering-grade design documentation (GA drawings, fabrication details, BOMs)
  • Site verification and measurement to confirm real-world geometry and constraints
  • Fit-for-purpose design focused on access, maintenance, and safe operation
  • Design verification aligned to the relevant Australian Standards (as required)
  • Revision control and traceability so your team always works from the correct set

Mechanical Design Services We Provide

Hamilton By Design supports projects from concept through to issued-for-fabrication documentation, including:

1) Industrial Mechanical Design & Drafting

  • Steelwork and platforms
  • Guards, access ways, and maintenance improvements
  • Equipment supports, skids, frames, and brackets
  • Conveyor and transfer component detailing (where required)

2) Site Verification and โ€œAs-Builtโ€ Engineering Support

For many Central Coast sites, legacy assets exist with limited documentation. We help establish the current geometry and constraints so design decisions are based on facts, not assumptions.

3) 3D Laser Scanning and Digital Capture

Where access is difficult or accuracy matters, 3D scanning helps reduce rework and speed up design development.

4) Mining and Heavy Industry Experience

Even if youโ€™re based on the Central Coast, your systems and standards may be โ€œmining-grade.โ€ Weโ€™re used to high-consequence environments where design clarity, traceability, and constructability matter.

SolidWorks Supported by LiDAR Scanning

Where site accuracy matters, our SolidWorks services are supported by engineering-grade LiDAR scanning.

This allows us to:

  • Capture complex and congested industrial environments
  • Accurately model existing plant and structures
  • Reduce clashes, rework, and shutdown risk
  • Support upgrade and tie-in projects with confidence

This approach is particularly valuable for Brisbane and regional Queensland facilities, including manufacturing plants, ports, bulk handling infrastructure, and mining-related assets.


Industries We Support in Brisbane & Queensland

Our SolidWorks services are commonly used across:

  • Manufacturing and industrial facilities
  • Mining and resources infrastructure
  • Steel fabrication workshops
  • Construction and EPCM projects
  • Ports, utilities, and transport infrastructure

From Brisbane metro to regional and remote Queensland, we deliver consistent, engineering-led outcomes.


Why Choose Hamilton By Design for SolidWorks in Brisbane

Mechanical Design & Custom Equipment Layouts

Consulting-led mechanical engineering for real-world plants and equipment

At Hamilton By Design, we help owners, operators and project teams turn practical ideas into safe, buildable and reliable mechanical solutions.

Whether youโ€™re upgrading a brownfield plant, resolving a persistent reliability issue or planning a new process line, we provide consulting-led mechanical design and custom equipment layouts that are grounded in real site conditions and fabrication reality.


How we help

We work as an extension of your project or maintenance team to:

  • Define the problem clearly โ€“ capacity, reliability, safety, access, compliance or all of the above
  • Capture the real geometry โ€“ using drawings, site measurements and (where required) 3D LiDAR scanning
  • Develop mechanical concepts โ€“ multiple options, with pros/cons and constructability in mind
  • Engineer the details โ€“ materials, load paths, supports, fixings, wear protection, sealing and maintainability
  • Produce fabrication-ready information โ€“ so your fabricator and installers know exactly what to build and how it fits

We stay involved from concept through to installation support, so thereโ€™s one accountable engineering contact from start to finish.


What we design

Our team can assist with both discrete equipment and integrated plant layouts, including:

  • Chutes, hoppers & bins โ€“ new designs, flow improvements, wear-liner upgrades, debottlenecking
  • Conveyors & transfer stations โ€“ stringer and gantry layouts, transfer interfaces, guarding and access
  • Pump, pipework & slurry systems โ€“ skids, manifolds, spool arrangements, supports and maintenance access
  • Tanks, vessels & sumps โ€“ mechanical layout, nozzles, platforms, wear and corrosion allowances
  • Screens, crushers & feeders interfaces โ€“ infeed/outfeed modifications, support framing and maintenance envelopes
  • Maintenance access & safety systems โ€“ platforms, ladders, stairs, handrails, lifting points and handling solutions
  • General plant layouts โ€“ equipment positioning, clearances, access routes and tie-ins to existing plant

If it bolts down, rotates, carries load or moves material, we can help engineer it.


Our design approach

We treat every engagement as a consulting assignment, not just a drafting task. A typical workflow:

  1. Clarify objectives & constraints
    • Performance and throughput targets
    • Site standards, client specifications and applicable Australian Standards
    • Shutdown windows, installation constraints and budget
  2. Capture the existing situation
    • Review existing drawings and vendor data
    • Undertake site inspections
    • Apply 3D LiDAR scanning where high accuracy or complex interfaces are critical
  3. Concept development
    • Generate alternative concepts with different risk, cost and complexity profiles
    • Workshop options with your team to incorporate operator and maintainer input
    • Shortlist a preferred concept for detailed design
  4. Mechanical design & detailing
    • 3D modelling of equipment and layouts in SolidWorks
    • Connection details, wear areas, load paths and serviceability resolved
    • Integration with structures, civils and adjacent plant
  5. Verification & review
    • Hand calculations and/or FEA where appropriate for critical components
    • Formal design reviews with stakeholders and fabricators
    • Buildability, transport and lifting checks
  6. Documentation for fabrication & installation
    • Fabrication drawings, BOMs and cutting lists
    • GA drawings and layout plans
    • Installation notes and mark-ups for site teams

Typical deliverables

When you engage Hamilton By Design for mechanical design and custom equipment layouts, you can expect:

  • 3D models of equipment and plant layouts
  • Fabrication drawings and detail drawings suitable for workshop use
  • General arrangement drawings with clear dimensions and interfaces
  • Bill of materials and component lists
  • Marked-up layout plans and sections for installers and other disciplines
  • Supporting calculation packs and technical notes (where required)

Where this service adds value

Our mechanical design & layout services are particularly valuable for:

  • Brownfield upgrades & debottlenecking
    • Fitting new equipment into congested plants
    • Resolving recurring blockages, spillage or wear issues
  • Shutdown-driven projects
    • Designing with install sequences and crane/lifting limits in mind
    • Reducing surprises on the shutdown critical path
  • New process lines & plant extensions
    • Co-ordinating mechanical, structural and access requirements early
    • Avoiding late design clashes and rework
  • Safety & compliance improvements
    • Guarding, access and maintenance improvements
    • Bringing legacy equipment up to current standards

Why work with Hamilton By Design?

  • Engineer-led, not drafter-led โ€“ Your layouts are driven by mechanical engineers with hands-on plant experience.
  • Single-source accountability โ€“ From site capture to 3D model to fabrication drawings, you deal with one team.
  • Brownfield specialists โ€“ Comfortable working around existing constraints, legacy drawings and incomplete data.
  • Fabrication-friendly outputs โ€“ We understand workshops and installers; our drawings are prepared with them in mind.
