3D Laser Scanning for Mining and Industrial Sites

3D laser scanning is increasingly used across mining, power generation and industrial processing facilities to capture existing site conditions with high accuracy.

Hamilton By Design provides engineering-grade 3D laser scanning services suitable for:

  • mining infrastructure
  • power station upgrades
  • materials handling equipment
  • conveyor systems
  • structural steel modifications
  • pipework and pump installations

Laser scanning produces a high-resolution point cloud model of the site, allowing engineers to design modifications with confidence.

This approach helps reduce:

  • site rework
  • design clashes
  • shutdown delays
  • fabrication errors

By capturing accurate site geometry before engineering design begins, projects can move forward with significantly lower risk.

Hamilton By Design provides mechanical engineering design, drafting and technical support for industrial operations.

Typical engineering work includes:

  • pump and piping systems
  • materials handling equipment
  • conveyor structures
  • mechanical plant upgrades
  • structural support steel
  • shutdown engineering documentation
  • reverse engineering of components

Our experience supporting mining and industrial operations across Australia allows us to deliver practical engineering solutions suited to both metropolitan and regional industrial facilities.


Wastewater and Industrial Pump Rebuilding Services

Many industrial facilities and processing plants rely on wastewater pumping systems to move process water, slurry and waste streams throughout their operations.

Large wastewater systems often use major American-manufactured pump installations, however these systems frequently depend on smaller pumps throughout the plant for auxiliary and transfer duties.

Through our partner company ALNO CNC Machining, we provide specialist pump rebuilding and repair services for these smaller style pumps used throughout industrial wastewater systems.

These pumps are commonly used for:

  • transfer pumping
  • sump pumping
  • washdown systems
  • auxiliary pumping stations
  • process water circulation

Our pump rebuilding services include:

  • pump disassembly and inspection
  • shaft and impeller refurbishment
  • machining of worn components
  • seal and bearing replacement
  • reverse engineering of obsolete parts

By restoring worn pumps rather than replacing them, operators can often reduce downtime and significantly lower equipment replacement costs.

Engineering-Led LiDAR & Mechanical Design for Mining & Heavy Industry โ€“ Broken Hill NSW

Engineer-led LiDAR scanning at a mining heavy-industry site with point cloud overlay used for mechanical design and brownfield engineering.

Engineering-Led LiDAR & Mechanical Design for Mining | Broken Hill NSW

Hamilton By Design provides engineering-led LiDAR scanning and mechanical design services to support mining and heavy-industry projects in Broken Hill and Far West New South Wales. Our work focuses on brownfield assets, live operating plant, and shutdown-driven projects where accuracy, constructability, and risk control are critical.

This is not survey-only scanning. We integrate engineering judgement with high-accuracy reality capture to deliver fabrication-ready, fit-first-time outcomes for base-metals operations, processing facilities, and heavy industrial infrastructure in remote and legacy environments.

Engineering-Led LiDAR for Far West NSW Mining

Mining operations in and around Broken Hill operate within long-established districts where assets have evolved over decades. Common challenges include:

  • Legacy infrastructure with incomplete or outdated as-built documentation
  • Multiple generations of plant modifications
  • Restricted access and ageing structures
  • Limited tolerance for rework during shutdowns

Our engineering-led LiDAR approach is designed for operating mine sites and processing facilities where assumptions create safety, cost, and schedule risk.


Integrated Scan-to-Engineering Workflow

We deliver a single, accountable workflow suited to remote and brownfield mining operations:

  1. On-site LiDAR scanning undertaken by engineers familiar with mining safety, access, and constructability constraints
  2. Engineering-grade point-cloud processing aligned to modelling tolerances and fabrication requirements
  3. Mechanical and structural CAD modelling developed directly from scan data
  4. Fabrication-ready drawings suitable for workshop manufacture and site installation
  5. Engineering support through fabrication, installation, and commissioning

This workflow reduces interface risk between scanning, design, fabrication, and construction โ€” particularly important where site access and logistics are constrained.


Mining & Heavy Industry Applications in Broken Hill

Brownfield Engineering & Existing Assets

Broken Hill operations rely heavily on long-life assets that have been modified over many decades. We support brownfield engineering where:

  • Original drawings are unavailable or unreliable
  • Equipment interfaces are complex or undocumented
  • Clearance, access, and compliance are critical

LiDAR provides accurate existing-condition data, while engineering oversight ensures the information is applied correctly during design and verification.


Shutdown-Driven Projects

Shutdowns in remote mining regions are tightly planned and high consequence.

Our work supports shutdown success by:

  • Capturing existing conditions before outages
  • Eliminating site measurement during shutdowns
  • Verifying interfaces, access, and constructability
  • Reducing fabrication and installation risk

Pre-validated designs improve safety, execution quality, and schedule certainty.


Processing Plants & Materials Handling

Mining operations in the Broken Hill region include complex processing and materials-handling infrastructure.

Our engineering-led LiDAR services support:

  • Conveyors and transfer stations
  • Hoppers, bins, and chutes
  • Crushers, screens, and feeders
  • Walkways, platforms, and guarding upgrades

Accurate scan-to-CAD workflows enable confident redesign, replacement, and compliance upgrades in operating plants.


Heavy Plant & Industrial Equipment

We support projects involving large and complex equipment where traditional measurement methods are unsafe or impractical, including:

  • Fixed and mobile processing plant
  • Structural steelwork and access systems
  • Maintenance platforms and guarding systems

Engineering-led scanning ensures interfaces, envelopes, and installation constraints are understood before fabrication begins.


Risk Management for Remote & Legacy Mining Assets

In established mining districts like Broken Hill, risk is driven by unknown conditions, ageing infrastructure, and interface complexity.

Our approach reduces risk by:

  • Removing reliance on outdated drawings and assumptions
  • Capturing accurate existing conditions prior to design
  • Identifying clashes and access constraints early
  • Reducing site rework and hot works
  • Supporting safer shutdown execution

Risk is managed upstream, where it is cheapest and safest to control.
