Managing the Lifecycle
Every lift takes a micro-toll on a crane's structure. Over years of operation, fatigue, corrosion, and wear silently degrade the integrity of the asset. Managing this degradation isn't just about safety—it's about financial optimization.
Our Asset Integrity engineering team specializes in predicting, monitoring, and mitigating structural degradation. We use advanced fatigue analysis and historical operational data to calculate the exact remaining life of your assets, helping you make informed decisions between costly overhauls or asset replacement.

Integrity Capabilities
Strategic engineering for long-term asset reliability.
Asset Integrity Management
Development of comprehensive, long-term monitoring programs for critical fleets.
Lifecycle Assessments
Data-driven projections of asset lifespan and maintenance cost forecasting.
Remaining Life Reports
Engineering calculation of remaining safe operational cycles for cranes and plant.
Fatigue Analysis
Advanced evaluation of cyclic loading effects on primary structural members.
Corrosion Assessments
Mapping and thickness testing to evaluate environmental degradation over time.
Failure Investigation
Forensic root-cause analysis (RCA) following catastrophic structural failures.
Why It Matters
The cost of blind asset management.
Premature Scrapping
Without accurate remaining life calculations, perfectly safe multi-million dollar assets are often retired years earlier than necessary.
Unexpected Failure
Conversely, pushing a crane past its fatigue limits without engineering analysis guarantees a structural failure.
Capital Inefficiency
Failing to forecast major overhauls results in massive, unbudgeted capital expenditure shocks to the business.
Our Process
Data Harvesting
Collection of data logger info, maintenance logs, and operational history to understand usage patterns.
Physical Condition Survey
Targeted NDT and thickness testing to establish the current physical baseline of the steel.
Engineering Calculations
Applying standard-based formulas to calculate consumed fatigue life and remaining safe cycles.
Strategy Delivery
Providing a detailed report with clear recommendations: run, repair, derate, or replace.
