3D Laser Scanning for Haul-Truck Body Refurbishment

Image
3D Laser Scanning for Haul-Truck Body Refurbishment Turning Worn Truck Bodies into Measurable Engineering Data Mining haul trucks operate in some of the most demanding conditions found in heavy industry. Every loading and unloading cycle exposes the truck body—also known as the tray, tub, dump body or haul body—to impact, abrasion, vibration and material build-up. Over time, this operating environment can result in: Worn floor and sidewall plates Distorted body geometry Damaged liners and wear packages Cracking around structural connections Misaligned mounting points Localised deformation Reduced load-carrying efficiency Increasing repair and maintenance requirements The difficulty for maintenance and engineering teams is not simply identifying that wear exists. The greater challenge is determining the extent of that wear and establishing an appropriate refurbishment scope. Engineering-grade 3D laser scanning can provide the dimensional information needed to support that decision. Why ...

Scan to CAD Perth

Image
 Turning Reality into Accurate Engineering Information When a project starts with inaccurate drawings, the result is often rework, delays, fabrication issues, and costly site visits. Across Perth and Western Australia, many industrial facilities, mining operations, processing plants, marine facilities and manufacturing sites have been modified over decades. Drawings are often missing, outdated or simply do not reflect what is actually installed. This is where Scan to CAD Perth services provide significant value. Hamilton By Design combines engineering-grade LiDAR scanning, point cloud processing, CAD modelling and engineering drafting to create accurate digital representations of existing facilities. Whether you need a conveyor upgrade, structural steel modification, pipework redesign, equipment replacement or a complete as-built record of an existing plant, Scan to CAD allows projects to begin with reliable information rather than assumptions.

3D Laser Scanning and Digital Engineering for Coal Handling Plants

Image
  3D Laser Scanning and Digital Engineering for Coal Handling Plants Coal handling and preparation plants (CHPPs) are some of the most complex and congested industrial environments in the mining sector. Conveyors, transfer towers, chutes, pumps, structural steel, and access platforms are constantly being modified as plants expand and production requirements change. Over time, these modifications often mean the original engineering drawings no longer represent what is actually built on site . This creates significant challenges when engineers attempt to upgrade equipment, replace structures, or install new systems. For this reason, many mining operations are now turning to 3D laser scanning and digital engineering workflows to capture the real-world condition of their plant infrastructure before design work begins. Why Coal Handling Plants Need Accurate Site Data Coal handling facilities operate continuously and typically have very limited shutdown windows for upgrades or maintena...

3D Laser Scanning for Industrial Plants in Orange NSW

Image
  3D Laser Scanning for Industrial Plants in Orange NSW Industrial plants often evolve over decades. Equipment is modified, pipework is rerouted, structures are reinforced, and new systems are added during shutdowns or upgrades. Over time, the original engineering drawings rarely reflect the true condition of the plant . This can make mechanical upgrades, structural modifications, and plant expansions far more difficult than expected. For this reason, many engineering teams now use 3D laser scanning to capture the real-world geometry of industrial facilities before design work begins . Why Industrial Plants Need Accurate Existing Condition Data In mining and heavy industry, many projects occur in brownfield environments where equipment and infrastructure already exist. Without accurate site information, engineers often encounter problems such as: Pipe clashes during installation Structural steel conflicts Equipment that does not fit the allocated space Maintenance access issues Un...
