5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Newcastle
Newcastle and Hunter Valley operators managing machines at the mid-life point have a particular compliance reason to get the 5-year major inspection done and documented properly: mine-site approved-plant systems check major inspection history, and a gap at the class-required milestone creates the kind of documentation problem that stops a machine at the gate rather than raising a query that can be answered later.
EWP Australia delivers 5-year major inspections for Newcastle and Hunter Valley operators, with documentation structured for mine-site approved-plant compliance as well as commercial contractor reviews. The applicable milestone — 5 or 10 years depending on equipment class — is confirmed before work starts, and the teardown assessment, NDT and functional testing are carried out to the scope the milestone requires.
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 Newcastle — Common Questions
Do Hunter Valley mine sites check whether a major inspection has been done at the class milestone?
They do. Approved-plant systems read the inspection history, and a machine whose major inspection is overdue at the class milestone doesn't meet the standard those sites apply.
Can the 5-year major be timed around a Hunter Valley mine rotation?
Yes — completing the major during a turnaround in Newcastle avoids the machine being unavailable during a site commitment. Tell us the rotation schedule so the timing can be planned.
