Mining & Offshore Crane Asset Integrity

Mining sites and offshore oil & gas facilities operate in environments where crane downtime is costly and compliance scrutiny is unforgiving. SLA Cranes supports asset owners with engineering-led inspections, lifecycle assessments, and standards-driven maintenance—focused on certainty, defensibility, and risk reduction.

Preventive Maintenance That Reduces Downtime

A structured Preventive Maintenance Program (PMP) combines inspection findings with targeted servicing, adjustments, lubrication, parts replacement and scheduled repairs—so actions are planned, not reactive. (Industry programs pair inspections with routine maintenance to provide a baseline for tracking, reporting and decision-making.)

FAQs (good for SEO + conversions)

Do you provide 10-year and 25-year major inspections?
Yes. We specialise in major lifecycle inspections and supporting documentation and rectification planning to close out findings properly.

Can you review another provider’s inspection report or rectification work?
Yes. We provide independent reviews and third-party inspections—especially where the site requires stronger technical defensibility.

Do you support shutdown windows?
Yes. We regularly plan and execute inspections and rectification scopes around shutdown constraints and access requirements.

Are you focused on compliance to Australian Standards?
Yes. Our work is standards-driven and supported by clear reporting suitable for audit and technical authority review.

Do you work offshore or in high-risk environments?
Yes. We support heavy industry and offshore-style compliance expectations where documentation and traceability matter. We have capability in EEHA, offshore trained personnel, crane operators etc.

Do you conduct crane load testing?
Yes. We can conduct your load testing for onshore or offshore assets . We have QA reporting, certification to ISO 9001 and experience in load testing for all types of cranes.

What we do for Mining, LNG and Offshore Client's

Major inspections and lifecycle assessments

  • 10-year and 25-year major inspections

  • Design Working Period (DWP) support and life-extension pathways (where applicable)

  • Condition assessment planning for shutdown windows

  • Clear defect classification and prioritised rectification planning

Routine inspections keep cranes operating. Major inspections determine whether they should continue operating.

Engineering-led crane inspections

  • Standards-based inspection methodology

  • Findings that are defensible under audit and technical review

  • Practical recommendations aligned to safety and operational reality

  • Support for asset owners during engineering review and close-out

Maintenance, repairs and rectification support

  • Planned maintenance and reliability uplift

  • Rectification of compliance issues identified during inspections

  • Shutdown support (inspection + repairs + close-out reporting)

  • Coordination with NDT and specialist testing where required

Independent third-party inspections and technical reviews

Tier-one sites often engage us to independently review:

  • Previous inspection reports and defect history

  • Rectifications completed by others

  • Non-compliant installs, upgrades, or modifications

  • “Problem cranes” that incumbents can’t confidently sign off

We’re comfortable having technical conversations with engineers, facility managers and operations managers.

What makes SLA Cranes different

Engineering-led, standards-driven
Many providers rely on the client knowing less. We don’t. We operate with a standards-first approach and welcome informed technical scrutiny.

Audit-defensible outcomes
Our reporting is structured so your internal stakeholders, auditors, and technical authorities can follow the logic, without needing verbal explanations.

Led by Industry Experts
Our management/operations team is comprised of industry experienced personnel who have been on the field and on site.

Experienced in heavy industry and offshore contexts
We work comfortably in environments where planning, permits, isolation, QA/QC and traceability are non-negotiable. Our systems are traceable and auditable designed for this purpose.

Typical engagement pathways with Tier one clientele

Large mining and offshore operators engage us for:

  • Independent inspections / third-party review

  • Major inspections approaching 10/25-year milestones

  • Shutdown support and defect close-out

  • Compliance audits or “health checks”

  • High-risk cranes requiring specialist rectification or assets with unclear history

  • Routine crane inspection and maintenance
