Heavy duty cycles, dust and heat in the Goldfields demand a robust 10-year inspection program. Our Kalgoorlie team recently delivered a major 10-year inspection on a workshop bridge crane supporting mining equipment maintenance.

Built for Mining Environments


Following AS 2550.1/2550.3 and AS 1418.3, we combined condition assessment with targeted overhaul actions to lift reliability and safety.

What We Completed in Kalgoorlie

  • Visual & dimensional checks: Structure, trolley, hook block, rope/chain, sheaves and end-carriage components.

  • Runway & tracking alignment: Measured and corrected crane skew and end-carriage squareness; improved wheel/rail contact and reduced flange wear.

  • NDT on critical zones: MPI/UT around hook/stem, welds on trolley frames and end-carriages, and other high-stress transitions.

  • Oil sampling & analysis: Hoist and travel gearboxes to identify wear metals and contamination before they become failures.

  • Electrical systems & protection: Limits, brakes, overloads, festoon/conductor systems and control integrity verified.

  • Overhaul items: Replaced worn brake linings, seals and bearings; adjusted brakes and recalibrated limits with documentation.

  • Reporting & recommendations: Clear remedial actions, parts lists and residual risk statements for audit and planning.

Compliance & Uptime Gains

After alignment remediation and targeted overhaul, the crane returned to service with smoother travel, reduced noise and a cleaner inspection record—ready for the next decade of Goldfields work.
