Vacuum Excavator Inspection

Certified vacuum excavator inspection across Australia. NDT Australia inspects vacuum excavators for structural fatigue, wear and compliance to AS 3788.

Overview

NDT Australia delivers routine, periodic and major vacuum excavator inspection for owners and operators nationwide. We inspect vacuum excavators using visual, magnetic particle, eddy current and ultrasonic methods to detect fatigue cracking, wear and structural damage before it becomes a safety risk.

Every inspection is documented in a clear engineering report and, where required, supported by certification to keep your vacuum excavators legally compliant and available for work.

What We Inspect

On vacuum excavators we typically inspect:

  • Spoil tank shell and welds
  • Wall thickness and corrosion
  • Boom and hose reel structure
  • Chassis and mounting
  • Hydraulic system

Standards & Compliance

Vacuum Excavator Inspection is carried out to AS 3788 — Pressure equipment in-service inspection and the relevant Australian Standards for design and safe use. We clearly state compliance status and any corrective actions in every report.
