Advanced Rope Inspection and NDE Services

Bridon-Bekaert Service Technicians and Engineers are experts in wire and fibre rope and have an in-depth understanding in all aspects of rope management including Statutory Rope Examination and Inspection.

Our On-Site Services provide a comprehensive range of inspection services to help clients maintain compliance with statutory obligations, maximise safety and rope service life.We can undertake a thorough inspection of plant and rope systems as part of a complete inspection package to maximise the uptime of your equipment and investigate and correct specific issues related to recurrent problems.

Our highly trained technicians prepare reports for statutory purposes and provide   recommendations based on visual inspection, Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) and Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) to give customers information vital to making a decision about whether a rope is fit for continued use, needs further testing, or should be retired.

  • Periodic or annual inspection services in accordance with industry standards by experienced inspectors
  • Magnetic rope testing (MRT) is a method of checking for defects and deterioration in steel wire ropes. Many ropes deteriorate from the inside, which means a traditional visual examination is not sufficient. MRT is recognised across many safety critical industries as an appropriate method for aiding the condition assessment of ropes. Magnetic Rope Inspection uses Magnetic Flux Leakage techniques to identify loss of metallic area or wire breaks as local faults in ropes in service.
  • VisionTek is the leading 3D optical measurement technology that combines non-contact geometrical measurement and surface algorithms to compare real-time performance with critical rope parameters as required by the appropriate standard. VisionTek is designed for use standalone or in conjunction with MRT.
  • Magnetic particle Inspection (MPI) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) process for detecting surface and shallow subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt, and some of their alloys. Similar to MRT, MPI uses flux leakage which is evaluated to determine component integrity.
