5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Mackay
Mackay's mine-supply role means machines at the mid-life major inspection point need that assessment completed and documented during their maintenance window in town — because a machine heading back to a Bowen Basin operation with a class milestone overdue is a documentation problem at the gate. Whether the applicable interval is 5 or 10 years depends on the equipment class, but for mine-bound machines, the answer has to be correct before the machine turns around.
EWP Australia carries out 5-year major inspections across Mackay and the surrounding region, structured for the mine-mobilisation use case as much as for fixed fleet management. Class confirmation comes first, then teardown assessment of structural and load-bearing components, NDT and documentation that satisfies the approved-plant compliance requirements of Bowen Basin operations. Scope and expected turnaround are agreed before any work begins.
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 Mackay — Common Questions
Do Bowen Basin mine sites check whether the 5-year major has been done where required by class?
Yes. Approved-plant systems at mine sites check inspection history at the milestone level, and a machine whose class-required major is overdue doesn't make it through.
Can the 5-year major be completed within a Mackay maintenance turnaround window?
The teardown scope typically requires several days. Tell us the turnaround window at booking and we plan to meet it wherever the machine's condition allows.
