NDT & Inspection for Mining

Overview

NDT Australia is a single enquiry and co-ordination point for mining industrial inspection through specialist partners. From fixed plant to mobile fleets, we help teams plan condition-led maintenance. Confirm the appointed provider's competence, relevant qualifications, insurance and any required authority for the specific engagement.

Separate fatigue questions on structural attachments from erosion or wall-loss questions on process assets. Use duty history, known repairs and previously located indications to select repeatable examination points rather than implying every machine needs the same test.

Assets We Inspect

Asset categories to identify when discussing the inspection scope:

• Conveyor structures and transfer chutes
• Crushing and screening plant
• Mobile equipment and lifting gear
• Pressure vessels and pipework

Why Mining Rely on NDT

Separate fatigue questions on structural attachments from erosion or wall-loss questions on process assets. Use duty history, known repairs and previously located indications to select repeatable examination points rather than implying every machine needs the same test.

Inspection Records & Decisions

The applicable Australian or international standards, manufacturer information and site requirements are confirmed for each engagement. A component-linked work pack should identify machine or structure references, accessible extent, indication locations and items needing maintenance or engineering disposition. Shutdown task completion and authority to restart are different decisions.

Access & Inspection Planning

Plan around isolation of conveyors, transfer points and mobile plant, with safe access to load paths and nominated welds. Abrasive material, built-up product and repairs can conceal examination faces; agree cleaning and outage windows with the operator.
