Mechanical Engineering - Hamilton By Design

Existing-Condition Studies: Verify What Is Actually on Site Before Design Begins Industrial plants, buildings and mechanical systems rarely remain exactly as they were originally designed. Equipment is replaced, structural steelwork is modified, services are rerouted and maintenance changes are completed without every drawing being formally updated. Over time, the available drawings may no longer represent what is actually installed. Before beginning a plant upgrade, equipment replacement, fabrication project or shutdown modification, an existing-condition study can establish a reliable engineering baseline. Hamilton By Design provides existing-condition studies and 3D laser scanning services for industrial, mining, manufacturing and commercial projects across Australia. What Is an Existing-Condition Study? An existing-condition study documents the current geometry, arrangement and observable condition of an existing asset or facility. Depending on the project, the study may examine: ...

  3D Laser Scanning for Mining Haul Trucks: Supporting Repairs, Reverse Engineering and Asset-Life Extension Mining haul trucks operate under severe mechanical and environmental conditions. Repeated loading, impact, abrasion, vibration, structural fatigue and previous repairs can gradually alter the geometry and condition of a truck body, chassis and associated equipment. Despite this, engineering and maintenance teams are often required to plan repairs, modifications or component replacements using incomplete drawings, outdated information or manual measurements collected under time pressure. 3D laser scanning provides a practical method of capturing the existing geometry of a mining haul truck before engineering work begins. Hamilton By Design uses engineering-grade 3D laser scanning to assist mining companies, maintenance teams, repair contractors, fabricators and equipment suppliers with accurate existing-condition data for inspection, reverse engineering, refurbishment and...
