CableScan® is a patented robotic cable stay inspection service that consists of two inspection services. The first utilizes high definition video technology. CableScan® Visual does not require lane closures, man-lifts, bucket trucks or night time inspections. It is a self-propelled robotic system controlled by a base station that receives HD video and MFL transmissions from the robotic crawler.
By utilizing IPC’s robotic CableScan® any imperfections along the cable stay are recorded as well as length traveled along the stay and corresponding length traveled along the deck. We can provide the length and size of cracks and other abnormalities on the cable stay. The internal technology in CableScan® utilizes magnetic flux leakage to locate section loss and corrosion through the HDPE sheathing on the exterior strands of steel inside of the steel cables.
