3D Laser Scanning Alexandria Sydney | Point Cloud to CAD for Industrial Sites
Alexandria is one of Sydney’s most active industrial and mixed-use precincts, with ongoing refurbishment, services upgrades and plant modifications across manufacturing, logistics and commercial facilities.
Hamilton By Design provides engineering-grade 3D laser scanning and LiDAR services in Alexandria and across Inner Sydney, delivering accurate point cloud data that supports safe, buildable and cost-effective engineering outcomes for brownfield projects.
Why Accurate Site Data Matters in Alexandria
Industrial facilities in Alexandria often involve:
- ageing structures and services
- congested plant rooms and ceiling spaces
- tight access and operational constraints
- staged construction in live environments
Traditional survey methods frequently fail to capture:
- complex service routes
- structural interfaces
- equipment clearances
3D laser scanning captures millions of spatial data points, creating a true digital record of existing conditions before design or fabrication begins — significantly reducing design risk and costly site rework.
From Point Cloud to Build-Ready CAD and BIM Models
Our service goes beyond data capture.
We convert scan data into:
- engineering CAD models
- fabrication and installation drawings
- BIM-ready geometry
- detailed as-built documentation
This enables reliable design for:
- mechanical services upgrades
- plant replacements and relocations
- structural strengthening works
- access and safety system modifications
All deliverables are produced with engineering and construction workflows in mind — not just visualisation.
Typical Applications for 3D Scanning in Alexandria
3D scanning is commonly used for:
- manufacturing plant upgrades
- food and beverage processing facilities
- warehouse mezzanine and conveyor installations
- mechanical and electrical services coordination
- compliance audits and access upgrades (AS 1657)
Scanning allows data capture to occur with minimal disruption to operations, making it well suited to live industrial environments.
Engineering-Led Scanning for Brownfield Projects
Hamilton By Design is an engineering-led consultancy, not just a scanning provider.
This means:
- scans are planned around design requirements
- critical mechanical and structural interfaces are prioritised
- modelling supports fabrication and construction directly
- risk is addressed early in the project lifecycle
This approach is particularly valuable in brownfield facilities where unknown site conditions frequently drive project delays and cost overruns.
Supporting Inner Sydney Industrial and Infrastructure Projects
In addition to Alexandria, we regularly support projects across:
- Mascot
- Banksmeadow
- Port Botany
- Zetland
- Sydney CBD
And integrate scanning with mechanical, structural and drafting services where required, providing a single point of technical coordination from site capture through to construction-ready documentation.
Supporting Safe Design and Compliance Outcomes
Accurate reality capture enables:
- early hazard identification
- improved access and egress design
- constructability reviews before shutdowns
- reduced on-site modifications
This supports Safe Design obligations and improves project certainty in high-risk industrial environments.
