Weight Determination
Determination of consignment weight
Inspectorate Limited also perform draft surveys on vessels to determine the weight prior to and after loading. Intermediate surveys can also be performed during loading into different holds, which enables our surveyors to determine the weight of individual cargo as it is loaded or unloaded. Where material is sent along inland waterways, barge gauging surveys are conducted. Similarly, where material is moved in trucks, rail wagons, weight is determined by a number of methods, including weighbridge and volumetric surveys.
Inspectorate Limited may act at any of the different modes of weight or quantity assessment, including weighbridges, platform or hopper scales, tank measurements, stockpile quantity survey, ship or shore terminals, warehouses or factory premises. Upon your instruction we may also conduct different controls to ensure equipment of procedures used for weight and quantity ascertainment, proving they are sufficiently adequate and accurate.
