Engineering-Led LiDAR Scanning, Brownfield Engineering & Scan to CAD Solutions
Hamilton By Design provides engineering-grade LiDAR scanning, Scan to CAD, mechanical engineering and brownfield infrastructure services for water utilities, local councils, engineering consultants and contractors throughout Sydney, Newcastle and regional New South Wales.
Unlike surveying companies that simply deliver point clouds, Hamilton By Design combines terrestrial laser scanning with practical engineering knowledge to produce accurate as-built documentation, intelligent 3D CAD models and engineering-ready deliverables that reduce project risk before construction begins.
Whether you are upgrading a pump station, expanding a treatment plant or planning a brownfield modification, our engineering workflow provides reliable existing-condition information that designers, fabricators and project managers can confidently build from.
Engineering Services for Water Infrastructure
Our engineering services support every stage of the asset lifecycle, from initial site investigations through to detailed design, construction and future asset management.
Using engineering-grade terrestrial LiDAR scanning together with SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD and Autodesk ReCap, we create accurate digital models of existing facilities that significantly reduce uncertainty during brownfield projects.
Our services include:
- Engineering-grade terrestrial LiDAR scanning
- Scan to CAD conversion
- Existing-condition verification
- Brownfield engineering support
- Mechanical engineering design
- Reverse engineering of existing assets
- Engineering drafting and documentation
- Digital Twin development
- Construction verification
- Shutdown engineering support
Pump Station 3D Scanning Services
Pump stations are often some of the most difficult water infrastructure assets to modify due to congested pipework, confined spaces, ageing infrastructure and inaccurate historical drawings.
Hamilton By Design captures complete engineering-grade digital records of pump stations including pumps, pipework, valves, structural steel, cable trays, access platforms and associated equipment.
These accurate digital models provide engineers with reliable information before replacement or upgrade projects commence, reducing fabrication errors and minimising shutdown durations.

Water Treatment Plant 3D Scanning
Operational water treatment plants require careful planning before modifications can be undertaken. Accurate existing-condition information allows engineering teams to confidently design new pipework, equipment and structural upgrades while avoiding costly clashes during construction.
Hamilton By Design captures engineering-grade point clouds and develops intelligent CAD models of:
- Clarifiers
- Filters
- Chemical dosing systems
- Pipe galleries
- Pump rooms
- Structural steel
- Buildings
- Mechanical equipment
This information forms the foundation for future engineering projects, plant upgrades and digital asset management.

Wastewater Treatment Plant LiDAR Scanning
Wastewater treatment facilities contain some of the most complex process equipment found within municipal infrastructure. Existing drawings are frequently incomplete or outdated, making engineering modifications far more difficult than anticipated.
Hamilton By Design provides engineering-grade LiDAR scanning for:
- Aeration basins
- Digesters
- Sludge handling facilities
- Pipe bridges
- Pump stations
- Valve chambers
- Chemical dosing systems
- Structural steel
- Process pipework
The resulting point clouds and CAD models significantly reduce brownfield risk by allowing engineers to verify existing conditions before design begins.

Brownfield Water Infrastructure Engineering
Brownfield modifications are among the highest-risk engineering projects because existing assets rarely match historical documentation.
Hamilton By Design combines engineering-grade LiDAR scanning with mechanical engineering expertise to accurately verify existing infrastructure before detailed design commences.
This approach enables project teams to:
- Reduce design clashes
- Improve constructability
- Verify existing equipment locations
- Produce accurate fabrication models
- Minimise shutdown durations
- Reduce costly site variations
- Improve project planning
- Increase confidence before procurement and construction
