NDT & Load Testing in Townsville
North Queensland machines carry a corrosion load their southern spec sheets never anticipated — Townsville's combination of tropical humidity, coastal salt and hard industrial duty seeds exactly the weld-toe and pin-bore cracking that magnetic particle and eddy current testing are designed to catch. Distance from testing capability has never reduced the need; it's only delayed the finding.
EWP Australia delivers magnetic particle, dye penetrant and eddy current testing plus certified load testing for EWPs and cranes across Townsville and North Queensland, built into planned regional visits. Scopes are weighted to tropical coastal failure modes, and reports meet the standards port, defence-adjacent and industrial sites review against.
NDT & Load Testing — The Scope
- Magnetic particle, dye penetrant and eddy current crack testing
- NDT of booms, welds, pins, bosses, chassis and outrigger structures
- Load testing to rated capacity with certified weights
- Testing as part of annual, 5-year and 10-year major inspections
- Reports that identify exactly what was tested, where and to what method
- Repair recommendations when indications are found — not just a fail stamp

NDT & Load Testing in Townsville — Common Questions
How is NDT delivered in Townsville — do we wait for someone to fly up?
Testing is scheduled into planned North Queensland visits — book ahead of milestones and group with other machines due nearby, and the mobilisation cost is shared.
Does testing find more on tropical machines?
Statistically it should — corrosion seeds cracks, and the Top End tropics accelerate corrosion. That's an argument for testing on schedule, not for dreading the results.
