Structural Steel Drafting

 3D LiDAR Scanning and Scan-to-BIM for Structural Steel Projects in Perth Structural steel projects in existing industrial facilities often begin with a fundamental problem: the available drawings do not accurately represent what is currently installed. Steelwork may have been modified, strengthened, extended or repositioned over many years. Platforms, stairs, pipe supports, equipment bases and access structures may also have been added without the original drawings being updated. For brownfield projects across Perth and Western Australia, 3D LiDAR scanning and Scan-to-BIM provide a practical way to capture existing site conditions before structural drafting, engineering or fabrication begins. Hamilton By Design provides 3D LiDAR scanning services in Perth and Western Australia for industrial plants, mining operations, processing facilities, workshops, infrastructure assets and materials-handling systems. The registered point-cloud data can then support Scan-to-BIM services , stru...

Engineering-Grade 3D Laser Scanning for Structural Steel Drafting Projects Accurate structural steel drafting depends on accurate site information. For new-build projects, designers and drafters may be able to work from approved architectural, structural and mechanical drawings. However, brownfield plants, industrial facilities, workshops, warehouses and processing sites often present a more difficult challenge. Existing drawings may be incomplete, outdated or inconsistent with what has actually been installed. This is where engineering-grade 3D laser scanning can provide significant value. Hamilton By Design uses industrial 3D laser scanning to capture existing structures, platforms, equipment, pipework and access systems before the information is converted into point clouds, CAD models and practical engineering documentation.
