Ten Year Major Inspection
Ten year major inspections deliver full strip-down NDT and recertification for cranes and lifting equipment.
Overview
A Ten Year Major Inspection is the comprehensive assessment required when a crane or lifting appliance reaches ten years of service (or its equivalent design life). It typically involves dismantling, cleaning and full NDT of structural and mechanical components, followed by engineering assessment and recertification.
NDT Australia manages the entire process — from scheduling and dismantling coordination to NDT, reporting and formal certification to AS 2550 and AS 1418.
