CRANE LOAD TESTING IN ANGOLA
Are you looking for IACS-approved third-party inspection companies in Angola for health checks, slew bearing rocking motion tests, and five-year offshore/marine crane load testing certifications? The ideal option for you is EIWAA Offshore Services, which offers LEEA and LOLER certifications for cargo ship cranes, offshore cranes, and provision/knuckle boom cranes of different SWL/Proof loads. For ships, FPSO, offshore rigs, and vessels, obtain certified yearly or five-year pedestal crane load testing services utilizing water bags and lifting gear. Offshore cranes should adhere to the annual or five-yearly load testing criteria to guarantee the lifting capacity, SWL, and structural integrity checks for credible, high-quality, and safe lifting operations.
We regularly inspect cranes and thoroughly inspect lifting equipment using calibrated water weights, water bags, lifting beams, shackles, wire rope slings, and grommet slings. For load testing and certification of provision cranes, engine room cranes, deck-mounted pedestal cranes, job cranes, and knuckle boom cranes of any capacity, water weights are a practical substitute for solid test weights.
THIRD PARTY OFFSHORE CRANE LOAD TESTING IN ANGOLA
To evaluate the integrity and state of the slew bearing that connects the crane superstructure, a rocking motion test, also known as a slew bearing motion test, must be performed as a part of third-party offshore crane load testing. EIWAA Marine Services uses dial indicators and calibrated gauges to detect slew bearing wear or clearance using the rocking motion test. During quarterly and yearly inspections using water bag load testing, EIWAA conducted a slew bearing motion test and a rocking motion test during pedestal crane load testing onboard.
Following are the code requirements of third-party offshore crane load testing services,
- The standards for third-party crane certification of all lifting equipment, cargo handling, and life-saving appliances, including offshore crane load testing inspection, are outlined in SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) 1974, Chapters II-1 and III.
- IMO MSC/Circ 1206 Rev.01: Concentrated on the standards for offshore and maritime certification, crane load testing, and third-party inspection.
FPSO CRANE CERTIFICATION IN ANGOLA
EIWAA Marine Services provides third-party pedestal crane load testing inspection and certification using calibrated water bags, water weights, and dynamometer load cells for offshore platforms, ships, and shipyard port cranes. Deck-mounted pedestal cranes are crucial marine lifting tools when managing large loads, cargo, Billy Pugh baskets, and human transfer baskets in offshore and maritime operations. Proof load testing and periodic load testing criteria verify the structural integrity and performance requirements of lifting equipment, including cranes, davits, winches, etc. For pedestal crane load testing and ship crane proof load testing requirements, we employ water bag load testing systems as safe, efficient, and controllable testing techniques.
Lifting inspection engineers who have been authorized by LEEA adhere to the pre-inspection criteria of structural and mechanical inspection of cranes through comprehensive inspections and functional testing. Static load testing of 100% SWL and dynamic overload testing of 125% SWL or ship classification regulations are prerequisites for pedestal crane load testing and certification.
5 YEARLY CRANE LOAD TESTING IN ANGOLA
For maritime crane certifications, proof load testing, ship crane load testing, crane health check inspections, periodic inspections, and certifications, among other things, we are an authorized inspection company in Angola. Annual certification and inspection, five-year proof load testing and certification, and thorough certification and inspection of marine crane and lifting equipment using dynamometer load cells and water weights bags at different offshore locations.
This crane health check monitoring service employed advanced integrity inspection and careful lifting equipment examination to focus on the structural, mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic integrity of cranes. We are employing calibrated water weights with the proper proof load calculations in accordance with LEEA, LOLER, IACS, and ISO 17025 criteria for the proof load testing inspection.
