EWP & Crane Certification for Infrastructure Projects
Independent certification and structural verification of access and lifting plant working on Australia's major road, tunnel and bridge infrastructure projects.
Major infrastructure projects mobilise large fleets of hired and owned access and lifting equipment against demanding programs, and any grounded unit can hold up a critical path activity. Alliance and D&C contractors also carry contractual assurance obligations that require documented equipment compliance before plant is permitted on site. EWP Certification Australia supports infrastructure delivery with rapid, engineering-led inspections, NDT and structural verification that keep the fleet compliant and the program moving.
Compliance in a multi-contractor environment
Infrastructure sites bring together plant from many subcontractors and hire companies, each with its own maintenance history. The principal contractor carries the risk if a non-compliant unit is admitted, so a consistent verification gate is essential. We provide independent inspection and certification that a unit meets AS 1418.10 and AS 2550.10 for EWPs, or the relevant AS 2550 parts for cranes, before it is cleared for the site.
Structural verification for high-consequence work
Tunnel, bridge and elevated roadway work places access and lifting equipment under heavy, sustained loading. Where a unit's history is unknown or its duty has been severe, a structural assessment supported by non-destructive testing confirms that booms, connections and welds retain their integrity. Load testing verifies rated performance following any repair or modification.
Keeping the program moving
The cost of a grounded unit on an infrastructure project is measured in delayed critical-path activities, not just hire charges. We track inspection due dates against the project fleet and mobilise quickly for annual, major and pre-mobilisation inspections so that certification is never the reason work stops.
