1. Subject line- Take the next step with robotic wire ropes
or
Know when to replace your wire ropes
RopeScan uses magnetic flux leakage and high resolution cameras and video to locate
loss of metallic area inside the steel strands.The maximum amount of quantitative data
that has never been seen before.
Infrastructure Preservation Corporation (IPC) utilizes modern technology in its robotic
wire rope inspections without needing to wedge cables apart by peering through steel
strands to look for section loss caused by unplanned stresses and corrosion and
addresses issues 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.

2. IPC performs inspection on the following rope and cable types:
● Bridge suspender ropes
● Mining cables
● Offshore oil rigs
● Pipeline support structures
● Cranes
● Hoists
● Mining Cables
● Flare Stacks, Etc.
Service Benefits-
● Locates Loss of Metallic Area In Cable Stayed Bridges!
● Can Replace Wedging In Suspension Bridges!
● Identifying Rope Deficiencies
● Section loss identification and documentation of location
● Detailed quantitative reports and reliable interpretation
● Extend asset life
● Improve safety and reliability

3. The portable lightweight robotic device glides up and down the wire rope
transmitting deficiencies to a ground station. The unit can be fixed to feed wire
through for spooled wires. IPC’s robotic wire rope inspection services identifies
deficiencies such as:
● Wire rope distortions (twisting, strand deterioration, internal failure,
protrusions)
● Corrosion
● Section Loss
