Extending the operational lifetime of offshore and maritime cranes is essential for maximizing return on investment, enhancing safety, and ensuring compliance with evolving industry standards. A well-executed lifetime extension program not only prolongs the service life of the crane but also minimizes downtime and reduces costs associated with acquiring new equipment. Conbit Global Cranes offers comprehensive lifetime extension solutions, ensuring your cranes remain reliable and fit-for-purpose for years to come.
Conbit Global Cranes is uniquely positioned to deliver lifetime extension programs thanks to our unparalleled structural engineering expertise. With a proven track record in extending the lifespan of structural equipment and offshore assets, we provide innovative solutions tailored to your operational needs. Our team combines in-depth technical knowledge with practical experience, ensuring every crane we assess and upgrade meets the highest safety and performance standards.
The first step in extending a crane’s lifetime is a detailed inspection of its current condition. Conbit’s experts evaluate the physical state of structural and mechanical components, identifying wear, corrosion, or damage that could impact performance or safety.
We analyze maintenance logs, operational records, and load cycles to better understand the crane’s usage history. This data provides valuable insights into the crane’s stress points, guiding our recommendations for upgrades or repairs.
Conbit employs advanced structural and fatigue analysis techniques to model the crane’s performance under operational loads. This helps us determine its capacity to continue operating safely and efficiently.
Our team uses state-of-the-art NDT methods, such as ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle inspection, and radiographic examination, to detect hidden flaws in critical components. These inspections ensure nopotential risks are overlooked.
Conbit specializes in upgrading worn or outdated components, including hydraulics, motors, and electrical systems. These upgrades not only improve functionality but also ensure the crane meets current safety and operational standards.
We create a tailored test and inspection plan to ensure the crane remains safe and operational throughout its extended lifetime. This plan includes functional tests, load tests, and periodic inspections.
Conbit collaborates with leading certification bodies to secure the necessary approvals for extended crane operations. We ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements, providing peace of mind to our clients.
