- •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
