Welcome to Hamilton By Design

What does Hamilton By Design do?

“We reduce engineering and fabrication risk on existing industrial assets by combining engineering-grade LiDAR scanning with real mechanical design.”

– Anthony Hamilton

Mechanical engineering mining services button

We support mining and mineral processing operations with engineering-grade LiDAR scanning and mechanical design for CHPPs, conveyors, transfer stations, plant upgrades, and brownfield modifications. Our experience in live operating environments helps reduce shutdown risk, rework, and costly fabrication errors.

Building and construction services button

We help commercial and construction teams understand what is built — not what is assumed — using 3D scanning to capture existing conditions and hidden services for safer coordination and informed decision-making

Manufacturing and production services button

For manufacturing plants, processing facilities, power generation, and heavy industry, we provide accurate as-built data and coordinated 3D models to support upgrades, maintenance, and asset life-extension projects. Our workflows are suited to complex sites where access is limited and precision is critical

Mechanical Engineering | Structural Engineering

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.
