EWP & Crane Certification for Oil & Gas
Rigorous inspection, NDT and load testing of access and lifting plant used across oil and gas processing, terminals and hazardous-area facilities.
Oil and gas facilities impose exceptionally rigorous engineering assurance on all plant, including the EWPs and cranes used for maintenance and shutdowns. Corrosive marine and process environments, hazardous-area classifications and the severe consequences of any failure drive an inspection regime built on non-destructive testing and documented engineering assessment rather than visual checks alone. EWP Certification Australia delivers the depth of inspection and reporting that oil and gas operators and their integrity-management systems require.
Harsh environments and integrity management
Coastal terminals and offshore-support facilities expose access and lifting plant to salt-laden air and process chemicals that drive aggressive corrosion of structure, pins and welds. Operators run formal asset integrity systems that require documented evidence of fitness for service, so inspection here means structural assessment and non-destructive testing, not visual inspection alone. Ultrasonic thickness measurement, magnetic particle and dye penetrant testing characterise corrosion and cracking that would otherwise be invisible.
Standards and load verification
EWPs are inspected under AS 1418.10 and AS 2550.10, and cranes under the AS 2550 series. Following any repair, modification or major inspection, load testing and proof load testing verify safe performance at rated capacity. Our reporting documents the engineering basis for every fitness-for-service decision so it integrates directly with the facility's integrity-management records.
Shutdown coordination and availability
Oil and gas maintenance is concentrated into planned turnarounds where access and lifting plant works intensively. We coordinate inspection and NDT against the turnaround schedule so every required unit is certified before the window opens, and we provide emergency response when an unplanned failure grounds a critical asset mid-campaign.
