NDT & Load Testing in Alice Springs
Central Australia's climate stresses metal in its own way. Big daily and seasonal temperature swings cycle welds and bolted joints constantly, fine dust accelerates wear at every moving joint, and machines out here are worked hard because getting a replacement to site is slow and costly. Thermal cycling and heavy duty both start fatigue cracks in load-bearing structure — and crack testing is the check that finds them before a failure a very long way from help.
EWP Australia provides magnetic particle, dye penetrant and eddy current testing plus certified load testing for EWPs and cranes in Alice Springs and across Central Australia. Testing slots into annual and major inspections or runs standalone after impact, overload or a suspect finding — with reports that identify exactly what was tested, where, to what method and with what result.

NDT & Load Testing in Alice Springs — Common Questions
The machine took a knock out on a job — can it be crack tested before we run it again?
Yes, and it should be — targeting NDT at the struck area and the load path is precisely the right response to an impact. Where the testing finds an indication, you'll get a plan to repair it rather than a plain fail mark.
To save a second trip, can the crack testing ride along with a booked inspection?
It can, and given the distances out here that's often the smart way to do it — NDT commonly forms part of the annual or major examination. Flag it when you arrange the inspection and we'll fold it into the scope.
