Through the use of IPC’s new patented and proprietary testing equipment and procedures, our inspectors can perform Cable Condition Assessments of bridge cables identifying loss of section and broken wires within cables. Our inspectors do not need cranes, bucket trucks or require lane closures.

​

CableScan™  is a self propelled inspection system that attaches to the cable and travels along the full length of the cable transmitting data to the inspector’s laptop.

​

In most cases CableScan™ can identify loss of section and broken wires on site and later a comprehensive report is generated identifying individual cable conditions as well as overall condition of the cable system for the bridge.

 

In addition, IPC can take high definition video of the entire Cable Stay and locate legnth and depth of a crack as well as position on the structure.  With each inspection cycle  a comparative analysis of any anomolies over time can help with early repairs and more efficient asset management.
