NDT & Load Testing in Albany
The Great Southern's climate is a slow, patient attack on structure. Albany's damp winters and salt-laden southern winds keep moisture working on coatings and metal, corrosion pits turn into stress raisers, and fatigue cracks grow from there — usually deep in welds and pins where the surface gives nothing away. NDT is how an Albany owner finds that damage while it's still repairable rather than discovering it as a failure on the job.
EWP Australia provides magnetic particle, dye penetrant and eddy current testing plus certified load testing for EWPs and cranes across Albany and the Great Southern. Testing runs standalone after impact, overload or a corrosion finding, or as part of annual, five-year and ten-year inspections — with reports that document method, location and result for any compliance review.
NDT & Load Testing — The Scope
- Magnetic particle, dye penetrant and eddy current crack testing
- NDT of booms, welds, pins, bosses, chassis and outrigger structures
- Load testing to rated capacity with certified weights
- Testing as part of annual, 5-year and 10-year major inspections
- Reports that identify exactly what was tested, where and to what method
- Repair recommendations when indications are found — not just a fail stamp

NDT & Load Testing in Albany — Common Questions
There's surface rust starting near some welds — is that enough of a reason to test?
It is. The rusty patch beside a structural weld is precisely where a crack likes to begin, and running NDT now works out far cheaper than repairing a crack once it has run.
Can a batch of machines spread across the Great Southern be tested on one trip?
Yes — that's how testing across the region works best. Set out the machines and their locations when you enquire and one run is planned to reach them together.
