INDUSTRIES
MARINE & PORTS
CARGO GEAR, CRANES, AND THE STRUCUTRES THAT SUPPORT THEM.
THE CHALLENGE
WHAT WE HEAR MOST OFTEN
PORTS RUN ON EQUIPMENT THAT WORKS FIRST TIME.
SHIPS' LIFTING APPLIANCES & CARGO GEAR
Rigging that must be inspected and certified under Maritime Rules Part 49 — with rigging plans, gear registers, and certificates kept current across a working port..
PORT CRANES & SHIP-LOADING EQUIPMENT
Pedestal-mounted cranes, container cranes, and ship-loading equipment needing IANZ-accredited inspection across fabrication, commissioning, in-service, and alterations to PECPR Regs 1999.
NDT ON BULK HANDLING EQUIPMENT
Conveyors, unloaders, and pipework where corrosion, fatigue, and wear are progressive — and where a planned inspection is always cheaper than an unplanned shutdown..
