Inspections of Existing Headframes, Shafts, Loading Pockets, Guides, Material Handling Systems

• •Existing headframes are inspected for corrosion levels, missing or modified structural elements and certified
• •Loading pockets are inspected for overall condition and wear
• •Guides are visually inspected, misalignment is measured and wear is evaluated
• •Dumps, chutes, bins and conveyors are inspected for condition and wear

Crash Investigations

• •Structures are inspected on short notice after overtravel or other crashes occur
• •Damage is evaluated
• •Structural repairs are identified if required

Reinforcing/Upgrading Recommendations for Higher Loadings

• •Hoisting plants are evaluated for ultimate capacities
• •Hoisting plants are inspected for deficiencies and repaired
• •Member reinforcement or additions are designed to reduce high stressed members
• •Headframes are re-rated for increased production rates and loadings
