Hamilton By Design has 20+ years of experience providing companies with Mechanical and Structural Engineering specialty Solutions.

Our hybrid process has been developed from old school proven technics of drawing board drafting and manual checking which is integrated with tools of today 3-D solid modelling, finite element analysis and point cloud scanning.

Some past projects have included:


Steelmaking and Smelting

The Hamilton By Design experience in relation to steelmaking and smelting process has generally been focused on providing both continuous improvements and like for like replacement in terms of structures and components in the steelmaking and smelting process.

Projects, case studies and production improvements have included:

  • Air Flow Heat Exchange with Fluid Dynamics,
  • Craneage Lifting Inspection and Maintaining.
  • Pumping of Fluid / Fluid transfer.
  • Conveyor development and running inspections.
  • Fan Vibration Analysis.
  • Guarding and Floor inspections.
  • Structural like for like replacement.

In general terms our team have the design tools to ensure projects are both designed and developed to meet expectations.

Mining

Whether it’s surface operations, underground mining, or fixed and mobile plant, our team delivers safe, compliant, and fabrication-ready mechanical and structural engineering outcomes within tight shutdown and maintenance windows.

We support coal handling and CHPP facilities with end-to-end solutions—from resolving structural-integrity issues to delivering replacement pump boxes, wear-resistant pipework spools, and plant-fit modifications built directly from accurate scan data.
Our approach ensures components install first time, every time with minimal downtime.

Across hard-rock mineral processing, our experience includes engineering and developing crushing and grinding circuit components, leaching systems, and high-efficiency chutes and launders designed to suit existing assets and site-specific operating conditions.

Concentration & Minerals Processing

Hamilton By Design brings extensive experience across concentration and minerals processing, delivering practical, engineering-led solutions that drive continuous improvement, reliability, and production efficiency.

Our project portfolio and production-support work include:

  • Pipe Routing & Process Line Development – optimised layouts integrating into existing plant constraints.
  • Custom Spool Design & Fabrication-Ready Deliverables – built from accurate measurements and laser-scan data.
  • Pumping & Fluid Transfer Systems – engineering support for slurry pumping, fluid handling, and system upgrades.
  • Conveyor, Chute & Transfer Point Development – improving throughput, reducing hang-ups, and extending wear life.
  • Grinding Circuit Feed Chutes – engineered upgrades to improve flow, reduce loading issues, and enhance safety.
  • Thickener Rake Inspections & Condition Assessments – structural integrity checks, running inspections, and upgrade recommendations.
  • Guarding, Floor & Access Compliance Inspections – ensuring safe plant operation and meeting WHS requirements.
  • Structural Improvements – design of walkways, stairs, platforms, and access systems that integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructure.

Across all minerals-processing projects, our team uses advanced 3D modelling, LiDAR scan data, and engineering analysis tools to ensure every upgrade or modification is accurate, practical, safe, and production-ready.
