Asset Reliability Inspections

04/09/2026

Results Matter reflects the purpose behind our work.

The services we provide contribute to safer operations and have a direct impact on people’s safety.

With Father’s Day coming up this Sunday, 6 September, we want to re-emphasise the importance of providing a safe workplace for everyone. 👷‍♂️

Asset inspections play an important role in identifying potential issues and reducing the risk of workplace hazards caused by equipment failure. Reliable inspection results help businesses make informed decisions about their assets and support safer, more reliable operations.

We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend!

Mining operations rely on both fixed plant and mobile plant to keep production moving, minimise workplace hazards and support compliance with WHS requirements.

ARI provides non-destructive testing (NDT) and inspection services across a wide range of mining assets to identify defects early and provide actionable data.

Our inspection capabilities include:
• Fixed plant: crushers, conveyors, stackers, reclaimers and processing infrastructure.
• Mobile plant: haul trucks, excavators, loaders and other heavy mining equipment.

Corrosion under pipe supports (CUPS) is a common challenge for industrial assets. These defects are often hidden and require regular inspection to help prevent failures.

Using Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), our team can rapidly screen for corrosion under pipe supports and provide quantitative wall loss measurements without lifting the supports. The data also provides actionable insights to support maintenance and operational decision-making.

Read our latest case study and learn how PAUT (Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing) can detect internal defects that are not visible from the outside.

In this project, our client faced two key challenges:
🔍detecting internal cracks
⚙️inspecting large bearing assemblies weighing between 500 kg and 1,000 kg each

Using PAUT, our technicians provided valuable, actionable inspection data for the client. The results enabled informed maintenance decisions and improved understanding of the condition of these critical assets.

Drone technology is changing the way inspections are performed across the asset integrity industry.

Recently, we hosted drone demonstration days with NeuroSight Robotics at our Bibra Lake and Bunbury facilities, showcasing how drone technology can support safer, faster and more cost-effective inspection programs.

The events were a great success, with clients from across the resources and infrastructure sectors attending. It was encouraging to see the level of engagement and interest in the practical applications of this technology. Thank you to Connor from NeuroSight Robotics, who delivered the demonstrations and shared his expertise.

ARI regularly hosts technical events and demonstrations to help clients stay ahead of emerging technologies. If you'd like to be informed of future sessions, get in touch or visit: https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0-Vbf0

ARI was pleased to host the AINDT VIC Technical Night at our Keysborough facility last month.

The evening featured a presentation by Nick Eleftheriou, Evident Scientific Product Manager and NDT Application Specialist, who showcased the latest advances in Phased Array Ultrasonics.

The session was a great opportunity to share the capabilities of our facility while providing hands-on insights into PAUT, TFM, Phase Coherence Imaging (PCI) and advanced corrosion mapping.

Thank you to everyone who attended. For more information about our capabilities in Melbourne, visit: https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0-TKq0
