Independent Technical Risk Assessment
Straightforward answers about lifecycle auditing, fatigue testing, and BIS compliance for gantry cranes and steel portals.
It is an independent technical assessment of the structural integrity and remaining service life of high-tonnage gantry cranes and overhead steel portals. The audit covers main girders, end trucks, weld joints, and stress concentration zones using ultrasonic thickness measurements and magnetic particle inspection. The final report includes risk ratings, projected degradation curves, and prioritized remediation actions aligned with BIS safety guidelines.
We combine finite element analysis with physical load simulations to predict crack propagation and remaining lifecycle. The testing focuses on weld joints and high-stress areas under repeated loading cycles. Results are used to determine safe operating limits and recommend maintenance intervals that comply with BIS standards for heavy lifting equipment.
Our assessments follow BIS guidelines for structural design, testing, and maintenance of industrial cranes and steel portals. This includes IS 807, IS 3177, and related standards for material quality, weld inspection, and load testing. Every report references the specific clauses that apply to the equipment under review.
Duration depends on crane size, number of components, and site access. A single gantry crane audit usually takes 2 to 4 days on site, plus 5 to 7 working days for analysis and report generation. For fleet audits, we provide a phased schedule to minimize operational disruption.
Yes. The audit report includes prioritized remediation actions with estimated urgency and suggested repair methods. We do not perform repairs ourselves, but our recommendations are detailed enough for your maintenance team or a qualified contractor to execute. We can also review repair plans upon request.
We inspect high-tonnage gantry cranes, overhead steel portals, ship-to-shore cranes, and similar heavy lifting structures used in ports, steel plants, power stations, and industrial yards. The equipment must be accessible for ultrasonic and magnetic particle testing. We do not inspect mobile cranes or light-duty hoists.
Each package is built around a specific scope of work, from single-crane fatigue checks to full-fleet lifecycle auditing. No two assessments are the same — choose the level that matches your current compliance cycle.

Schedule a scope reviewFocused on one high-tonnage gantry: weld-joint FEA, crack-propagation modeling, and remaining-life estimate per BIS 8077. Includes a 20-page report with risk ratings and retest intervals.
End-to-end audit for overhead steel portals: ultrasonic thickness mapping, magnetic particle inspection of main girders and end trucks, degradation curves, and prioritized remediation actions. Delivered with a compliance certificate.
Data-driven inspection schedules across your entire crane fleet. We rank components by operational load spectra and environmental exposure, then assign check frequencies that reduce downtime without compromising BIS compliance.
Third-party review of existing audit reports, repair proposals, or OEM recommendations. We validate assumptions, check load assumptions, and give a written opinion you can use for insurance or regulatory filing.
