NDT & Load Testing in Geraldton
On the Mid West coast, corrosion and cracking work together against structure. The Batavia Coast's constant salt air attacks protective coatings, corrosion pits become stress concentrators, and fatigue propagates from there — often deep in welds and pins where the surface still looks sound. That's why NDT matters so much in Geraldton: the visual condition of a coastal machine routinely understates what's actually happening inside its structure.
EWP Australia provides magnetic particle, dye penetrant and eddy current testing plus certified load testing for EWPs and cranes across Geraldton and the Mid West. 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 Geraldton — Common Questions
Nothing looks wrong with the machine — so why put it through crack testing here?
Because coastal corrosion sets cracks going underneath the surface. NDT methods pick up indications the naked eye never will, and once a crack has become visible you're into a repair rather than heading one off.
Does the machine have to be brought in for the load test, or can it stay put?
It can usually stay where it is, as the certified weights are transported to the machine. Provide the site and the access details at booking and the test is arranged to work around them.
