5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Canberra
In Canberra's government and institutional market, a machine whose major inspection is overdue is a documentary problem as much as a compliance one — procurement-driven plant registers check inspection history, and a gap at the 5 or 10-year milestone point creates a traceability issue that affects the machine's ongoing approval for site use. The major inspection is the reset point for that history, and it matters as much to the auditor as to the machine.
EWP Australia delivers 5-year major inspections for Canberra operators — confirming the applicable interval for each equipment class (5 or 10 years depending on class), carrying out the teardown assessment, NDT and functional testing, and issuing documentation that establishes a new compliance baseline. Records are structured for the formal audit trail government and institutional clients in the ACT require.
5-Year Major Inspections — The Scope
- Class confirmation — we verify whether a 5 or 10-year major applies to each machine
- Teardown-level assessment of structural and load-bearing components
- NDT (crack testing) of welds, pins, slew rings and structural connections
- Hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment at the disassembly level
- Functional and load testing on completion
- Engineering documentation establishing the machine's new inspection baseline

5-Year Major Inspections in Canberra — Common Questions
Do ACT government contracts require evidence of major inspections at the 5-year point?
Government procurement systems check plant compliance records including major inspection history. A properly documented major inspection at the class milestone keeps that record unbroken.
Can the 5-year major inspection be fitted around Canberra's project cycles?
Yes — the downtime required is scoped and agreed in advance so the timing can be planned around project and contract commitments.
