EWP Mechanical Repairs in Gladstone

Gladstone's heavy industrial environment creates structural and mechanical wear conditions that general construction doesn't match. The alumina refinery, LNG plants, aluminium smelting operations and the port all generate airborne particulate, heat radiation and coastal salt that attack structural steelwork, weld toes and slew ring seals simultaneously. Machines working industrial shutdowns at Gladstone are in hard service for concentrated periods, and the salt-plus-industrial-atmosphere combination at joint surfaces and weld toes means that structural faults can develop faster in Gladstone than in a standard coastal construction environment.

For the access fleet supporting Gladstone's heavy industry, EWP Australia carries out structural and mechanical repairs — weld cracks assessed and repaired to the applicable standard, industrial-environment corrosion at joint surfaces and pin bores addressed when pin and bush replacement is needed, slew rings inspected and renewed, and drive systems on the shutdown and maintenance fleet stripped and overhauled. Pre-shutdown structural checks are available so machines enter a critical work window in sound condition rather than arriving with borderline structural items.
