BACKGROUND

Due to the high cost of wire rope replacement of AHC wires, tensile strength destruct samples are an accurate investigation of these wires’ current state and condition, complete with Electromagnetic wire rope inspections. This can also be called “condition monitoring.” This is a cost-effective and accurate method to monitor the rope condition.  

ALATAS’ SOLUTION

In discussions with the client’s various technical departments globally and in line with industry standards, it was agreed that “condition monitoring” was the most efficient and accurate way forward.
