Pressure Vessel Australia
Technical confidence for assets that cannot be left to assumption.
We bring inspection, NDT, engineering, registration, repair and asset management into one accountable delivery pathway.
Talk through the requirementIntegrated capability
One accountable pathway—from first inspection to return to service.
Built for asset owners who need more than a pass/fail report. We connect inspection evidence, engineering judgement, rectification and compliance records into one controlled program.
NDT & pressure testing
Targeted non-destructive testing and integrity verification for welds, walls, critical components and post-repair return to service.
- UT thickness
- Corrosion mapping
- Hydrostatic
Engineering & certification
Fitness-for-service, remaining-life, repair, alteration, re-rating and independent design verification by personnel suited to the scope.
- FFS
- Design verification
- Repair engineering
Registration & recovery
Plant design and item registration support, document reconstruction and practical compliance pathways for legacy or acquired equipment.
- SafeWork
- Hazard level
- Legacy assets
In-service inspection / NDTCondition before assumption
Inspection evidence that leads to a clear decision.
We connect what is found in the field with the engineering, repair and compliance actions required to keep the asset safe, available and documented.

Engage one service or combine inspection, engineering, repair and registration into a controlled end-to-end package.
Pressure Vessel Inspections
External, internal, periodic and commissioning inspections with documented condition findings.
Air Receiver Inspections
Workshop, compressor, truck-mounted and breathing-air receiver assessment.
Boiler Inspections
Planned in-service and shutdown inspection programs for boiler pressure parts and associated equipment.
Non-Destructive Testing
UT, MT, PT, ET, radiography and PMI selected to suit the material, defect mechanism and access.
Ultrasonic Thickness Testing
Repeatable thickness grids, localised corrosion assessment, trending and corrosion mapping.
Pressure Relief Valve Testing
Bench testing, service coordination, set-pressure verification and traceable records.
Hydrostatic Pressure Testing
Controlled pressure, leak and integrity testing with defined test packs and hold points.
Plant Registration
Design and item registration support, renewals, classification inputs and documentation recovery.
Engineering & Design Verification
Calculations, independent verification, re-rating, de-rating and alteration engineering.
Fitness-for-Service Assessments
Evidence-led assessment of damage mechanisms, operating limits and remaining life.
Pressure Vessel Repairs
Engineered weld repairs, nozzle and flange replacement, modifications and post-repair verification.
Compliance Asset Management
Vessel registers, schedules, tagging, records, shutdown planning and multi-site governance.
Technical basis
Evidence that stands up to operational, regulatory and procurement review.
The inspection strategy is matched to the equipment, service conditions, damage mechanisms, jurisdiction and available design history—not forced into a generic checklist.

Project questions
Clear answers before work begins.
01Does every pressure vessel need plant item registration?+
No. Requirements depend on the equipment type, exclusions, jurisdiction and hazard level. In NSW, certain pressure vessels at hazard levels A, B or C require plant item registration, subject to listed exceptions. We can review the asset data and identify the applicable pathway.
02What information is needed to start?+
A nameplate photo, equipment type, location, previous reports, design or registration number if available, and your operational deadline are usually enough for an initial scope review.
03Can you recover compliance for older equipment?+
Yes. A recovery program may combine record searches, hazard-level review, inspection, NDT, engineering assessment and registration support. The pathway depends on the evidence available and the vessel condition.
04Do you coordinate repairs as well as inspections?+
Yes. We can define the repair basis, coordinate suitable repair and welding resources, nominate hold points, arrange post-repair NDT and compile return-to-service documentation.
05Can one program cover multiple sites?+
Yes. Multi-site programs can standardise asset registers, prioritisation, inspection scheduling, reporting and renewal tracking while accounting for each jurisdiction and operating environment.
