We provide engineering inspections, compliance, and certification services that help you operate with confidence

Inspection services

Engineering certainty for critical mining assets

Critical infrastructure doesn’t always show obvious signs when it’s approaching failure.

Ageing assets, undocumented modifications and changing operating conditions can introduce downtime risk without clear visibility.

Inspection and compliance servicing is an integral part of Wilshaw’s whole-of-mine-life capability. Combining field inspection, engineering assessment, compliance expertise and ongoing asset management, we help mining operations understand the condition of critical assets, demonstrate compliance and make informed decisions about their ongoing management.

what we inspect

Specialist inspection of critical mining infrastructure

Our engineers evaluate a diverse range of structural and mechanical infrastructure, including:

  • Underground and surface structural steelwork
  • Headframes, sheaves, and shaft infrastructure
  • Platforms, walkways, ladders, and access systems
  • Escapeways and critical safety infrastructure
  • Pump skids, process equipment supports, and structural frames
  • Lifting beams, spreaders, attachments, and specialised equipment
  • Pressure systems and other classified plant

Where necessary, we collaborate with specialist NDT providers to incorporate testing results into our engineering assessments and recommendations.

XSIGHTS ONLINE DATABASE

Intelligent asset management software

Wilshaw integrates XSIGHTS asset management software into our inspection and compliance services, providing a centralised platform for managing asset information, inspection outcomes and ongoing maintenance requirements.

XSIGHTS maintains a comprehensive asset register, connecting assets to relevant documentation, inspection records and Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) schedules.

Using cloud-based field inspection data, the platform generates automated reports with three assessment outcomes: Compliant, Non-Compliant and Work Order.

This connects inspection findings with ongoing maintenance activities, providing shared visibility of asset condition, compliance status and required actions.
