Process
Adept are experienced professionals in mining equipment inspections and plant maintenance procedures. Our work is always accurate and reliable with a quick turnaround.

FAQ’s
Yes. In Australia, an inspection is required to check that the pressure vessel design is compliant and that it has been designed to specification. During the inspection, the installation and any modifications will also need to be checked for compliance to standards to check that it is actually safe to operate.
Yes, because the environment of the pressure vessel has changed and the installation process may not be compliant so the current inspection report does not reflect this new situation. Refer to the Model Code of Practice: Managing risks of plants in the workplace, section 3.2. Installation and commissioning of plants for your commissioning responsibilities.
Adept maintains NATA accreditation ISO 17020 Type A for in-service inspection. This is the highest standard of pressure vessel inspection accreditation you can achieve in Australia and means that we are an independent and impartial inspection body.
