IPC’s (Infrastructure Preservation Corporation) wire rope inspection service does just that by peering through the steel strands to look for section loss caused by unplanned stresses and corrosion. IPC’s robotic wire rope inspection service inspects the entire cable and issues that are found can be addressed based on their severity.
This is a major advancement for the bridge inspection industry as well as other mission critical wire ropes. Wire rope inspections are a part of IPC’s CableScan services to provide quantitative condition assessment data to asset owners.
