Mobile 3D LiDAR Scanning Services Melbourne | Engineering-Grade Capture
Melbourne’s industrial landscape is built on decades of growth—factories expanded in stages, plant modified during shutdowns, and buildings adapted to new processes. The challenge today is that many of these facilities no longer match their original drawings.
Mobile 3D LiDAR scanning services solve that problem by capturing the site exactly as it exists, providing engineers, designers, and fabricators with reliable data to work from—without guesswork.
At Hamilton By Design we bring engineering-grade reality capture directly to your Melbourne site. Our mobile LiDAR workflows are designed to support real projects: shutdown upgrades, conveyor installations, brownfield modifications, and compliance documentation.
Capture the Real Site – Not an Assumption
Traditional measuring methods struggle in complex industrial environments. Pipe bridges, mezzanines, mixed generations of equipment, and tight access areas make manual measurement risky and inaccurate.
Mobile LiDAR scanning delivers:
- Millimetre-level point clouds of structures and equipment
- Accurate tie-in points for new installations
- Clearance checks for conveyors, elevators, and pipework
- As-built records for compliance and asset management
- Digital twins ready for design and clash detection
One site visit can capture more information than weeks of manual survey.
A Service Built for Melbourne Industry
From the inner west manufacturing belt to the northern logistics hubs and south-east processing plants, Melbourne projects share common pressures:
- Short shutdown windows
- Ageing plant with incomplete drawings
- Multiple contractors working in the same space
- Increasing safety and compliance requirements
Our mobile 3D LiDAR scanning services are structured to fit these realities. Most sites can be captured in a single day with minimal disruption to operations. Extra detail is focused around critical interfaces so new equipment fits first time.
Engineering First – Scanning With Purpose
We are not just data collectors. Hamilton By Design is an engineering business that uses scanning as the foundation for practical outcomes.
From a Melbourne scan we can deliver:
- Registered point clouds in industry formats
- AutoCAD & SOLIDWORKS models
- General arrangement drawings
- Fabrication-ready models
- Clash and tolerance reports
- Documentation for Safe Design reviews
Because the team understands fabrication and installation, the data is captured with the end goal in mind—equipment that bolts in without rework.
Applications Across Melbourne
Mobile LiDAR scanning supports a wide range of sectors:
- Food & beverage processing
- Recycling and resource recovery
- Warehousing and logistics
- Water & wastewater facilities
- Manufacturing upgrades
- Conveyor and bulk handling
- Heritage building retrofits
- Vehicle and specialised fit-outs
Whether it’s a small workshop in Dandenong or a complex plant in the western suburbs, the approach is the same: capture once, design with confidence.
Reduce Risk Before You Build
The cost of getting measurements wrong is far higher than the cost of a scan:
- Delayed shutdowns
- Steel that doesn’t fit
- Emergency redesigns
- Additional crane and labour hire
- Compromised safety outcomes
Mobile 3D LiDAR scanning removes those uncertainties at the start of the project, giving Melbourne businesses control over time, budget, and risk.
Booking & Delivery
- One day onsite is typically sufficient for most facilities
- Registered point cloud delivered promptly
- CAD outputs tailored to your design platform
- 50% deposit with purchase order, balance on delivery
Our calendar fills quickly around Melbourne shutdown periods—early booking ensures your project stays on track.
