5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Albany

Albany's Great Southern WA location and exposure to Southern Ocean conditions mean that machines reaching the mid-life major inspection milestone have accumulated a particular kind of coastal wear. The sustained wind exposure, salt-spray corrosion and structural fatigue from working in one of Australia's most weather-exposed coastal environments are precisely the findings that a mid-life teardown assessment, where the equipment class requires it at 5 or 10 years, is designed to measure — not approximate from an external view.

EWP Australia carries out 5-year major inspections across Albany and the Great Southern WA region — confirming the applicable class milestone before any teardown work begins, then assessing structural and load-bearing components, NDT of critical welds and sections exposed to Southern Ocean coastal conditions, and documenting a new inspection baseline that accurately reflects the machine's structural status.
