NDT & Load Testing in Devonport
On Tasmania's north-west coast, corrosion gives cracking a head start. Devonport's damp maritime climate and coastal salt keep moisture working on coatings and metal, corrosion pits become stress concentrators, and fatigue cracks grow from there — usually deep in welds and pins where the surface still looks sound. NDT is how a north-west 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 Devonport and the north-west coast. Testing runs standalone after impact, overload or a corrosion finding, or as part of annual, five-year and ten-year inspections — with reports that record exactly what was tested, where, to what method and with what result.
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 Devonport — Common Questions
I can see surface rust forming near the welds — is that a signal to get NDT done?
It's worth acting on. The corroded area next to a structural weld is exactly where a crack tends to take hold, and testing it now is far cheaper than repairing a crack once it has spread.
Can you run the load test in our yard rather than us having to move the machine?
Generally yes, since the certified weights come to the machine. Let us know the site and the access when booking and the test is planned to work around it.
