• Functional Testing: Inspection of hoisting, lowering, slewing, emergency stop systems, limit switches, and operational safety devices.
• Load Testing: Witnessing dynamic load tests at 110% and static load tests at 125% of the specified working load, as defined in the approved FAT procedure.
• Mechanical & Electrical Inspection: Examination of mechanical assemblies, electrical connections, earthing systems, and insulation test results.
• Visual & Dimensional Inspection: Verification of critical dimensions, crane outreach, equipment condition, identification markings, and safety labels.
• Punch List Management: Identification and documentation of inspection findings, verification of corrective actions, and follow-up of outstanding observations.
• Pre-Dispatch Inspection: Assessment of equipment condition, completeness, documentation, and readiness for shipment.

Project Execution & Results

The inspection activities were conducted in accordance with approved FAT procedures, technical drawings, and project-specific inspection requirements.

Functional testing, load testing, and dimensional verification were documented during the inspection process. Identified mechanical and electrical observations were recorded and communicated for corrective action and follow-up.

The inspection services provided independent technical verification of equipment performance and supported quality assurance and equipment acceptance decisions before delivery.
