5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Kalgoorlie

In Kalgoorlie's Goldfields mining environment, the mid-life major inspection isn't a back-office compliance event — it's a mine-site entry requirement that the approved-plant system checks. Whether a machine needs a 5 or 10-year major inspection depends on the equipment class, but for machines working Eastern Goldfields operations, that question is answered in the documentation before the machine rolls through the gate. A machine with an outstanding class-required major isn't an approved plant.

EWP Australia carries out 5-year major inspections across Kalgoorlie and the Eastern Goldfields — confirming the applicable class milestone first, then delivering the teardown assessment, NDT of structural welds and critical sections, and documentation formatted specifically for the approved-plant compliance systems Goldfields mining operations use. Scope and expected turnaround are agreed before any work begins.

FAQs

5-Year Major Inspections in Kalgoorlie — Common Questions

Do Eastern Goldfields mine sites validate 5-year major inspection documentation at plant entry?

Yes — approved-plant systems check major inspection records at the class milestone, not just annual inspection currency. The major needs to be done and documented correctly before the machine is presented at entry.

Can the 5-year major be timed around a mining turnaround window in Kalgoorlie?

Yes — that's the right approach. Maintenance windows are when machines come off rotation and are most accessible. Tell us the turnaround schedule at booking.
