Plant Inspections & Registration

The scheduled servicing of plant, in particular air compressors, is accepted practice for most workplaces. However it is not always known that under the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations, the compressor air receiver must also be periodically inspected by a competent person and in most instances registered with WorkSafe Western Australia. Our experienced inspectors are able to carry out the in-service plant inspections and registration of your air receiver(s), where applicable, in accordance with the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations and can provide up-to date information on all your plant compliance issues.

Process - Step by Step

SL Engineering follows a structured process for pressure vessel inspections in Perth, WA, ensuring compliance with Australian Standards like AS/NZS 3788 for in-service inspections.

Scheduling and Preparation:

We encourage scheduling pressure vessel inspection based on recommended frequencies, every 6-12 months for external and every 3-5 years for internal.

External Visual Inspection:

Adhering to AS/NZS3788, we inspect for leaks, cracks, misalignment, and corrosion. We do this using hands-on assessment and tools while the vessel is in service.

Shutdown for Internal (if due):

We depressurise and isolate the vessel to perform internal visual checks for compromised coatings, corrosion, deposits, and weld integrity.

Advanced Non-Destructive Testing:

Our team uses ultrasonic testing for thickness and defects, radiographic testing for internal flaws, and magnetic particle testing for surface cracks.

Reporting and Recommendations:

We compile a full report detailing findings, as mandated by AS/NZS 3788. Our team provides proactive measures to maintain optimal conditions and safety.
