5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Gladstone
Gladstone's LNG, alumina and heavy port infrastructure run contractor management systems that look hard at inspection records — including major inspection history at the class milestone. A machine whose 5-year major inspection, where the class requires it rather than a 10-year interval, is outstanding at Gladstone entry doesn't get through on annual inspection records alone. Getting the major done and documented before the machine arrives at a Gladstone site is the only way to avoid that outcome.
EWP Australia carries out 5-year major inspections in Gladstone, confirming the applicable interval for each equipment class before any teardown work begins. Teardown assessment of structural and load-bearing components, NDT of welds and critical sections, and documentation structured specifically for the compliance reviews Gladstone's LNG, alumina and port clients run are all delivered as standard.
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 Gladstone — Common Questions
Do Gladstone LNG and alumina sites check 5-year major inspection history specifically?
They do — contractor management systems look at major inspection records at the class milestone point, not just annual inspection currency. Documentation needs to be complete and correct before plant entry.
Can the 5-year major be timed around Gladstone industrial plant turnarounds?
Yes — turnaround periods are the natural window. Book ahead of the turnaround so the teardown can be scoped and scheduled within the available window.
