4 Total Rope Integrity Management Our mission is to maximise the safety and operational life of our customers ropes. Selection and Specification Bridon works with leading organisations such as IMCA to produce rope management and selection guidelines. We help engineers and project managers quickly identify rope requirements and select the optimum design and construction for each application. Storage and Transport Incorrect cargo loading, lifting or sub-standard storage of rope can result in retirement even before use. To protect your ropes Bridon provides on-site rope storage, rotation, transportation and loading supervision services. Installation Bridon On-Site Services offer proven procedures and expert consultancy to ensure the installation of your rope is right first time, every time. Our skilled technicians can help with all aspects of rope installation including splicing and socketing. Maintenance Bridon On-Site Services maintenance packages include rope; termination repair, re-splicing, lubrication and corrosion protection coating. We use purpose designed lubrication systems and specifically formulated, genuine Bridon lubricants to keep your rope in peak condition. Inspection and Examination Our highly trained technicians prepare reports for statutory purposes and provide recommendations based on visual inspection and Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) 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. Tensile Testing Bridon On-Site Services can verify the breaking loading of ropes in service from complete sample tensile testing or from an aggregate of individual wire tests. Guidance on Discard & Feedback Whether establishing periodic discard criteria or assessing a rope against industry standards, our engineers can help you make the right decision. Combining inspection results with extensive application knowledge allows us to give post-retirement feedback to improve performance via modification of rope design and construction. Rope Record Management Maintaining the service history of rope is imperative to its safe and effective operation, we can help you manage the administration of ropes and provide an easily accessible and reliable source of maintenance records.

5 Rope Inspection & Statutory Examination Services Bridon 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. Bridon On-Site Services provides 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, many with extensive offshore and underground experience, can efficiently carry out lifting equipment inspections and stringent testing as well as manage the administration of rope records for single or multiple global installations. Bridon technicians have helped numerous customers implement and manage comprehensive rope inspection programs. The reason for this is simple economics, the relatively low cost of highlighting potential problems before they have a detrimental effect on performance or safety avoids the relatively high cost associated with downtime.

6 Rope Installation & Replacement Services Installation and Replacement Services The service and safety of a rope depends upon the quality of the installation as well as that of the rope. Bridon On-Site Services installation and replacement service provides expert support for a comprehensive range of cable, fibre and wire rope equipment. Repair and Maintenance Bridon On-Site Services provide repair and maintenance services for all types of stranded ropes including multi-strand. We offer fast and effective global cover for a wide variety of industries including offshore assets and underground mining.. We can continuously monitor rope performance and deterioration of individual components of a rope system to provide customers with a valuable source of knowledge on failure criteria and how to maintain the rope and rope systems to ensure optimum safety and gain maximum component life. Splicing and Socketing Bridon On-Site Services provide socketing and splicing services for a wide range of applications. Splice types include: long splices (up to 70mm), eye splices (up to 95mm) and Bordeaux connections. Our socketing service for wire rope covers all rope constructions including multi-strand and is suitable for ropes up to 120mm diameter using zinc-based white metal or resin sockets. Specialist Hire Bridon Services also offer a range of specialised installation equipment for hire including; back tension winches, motorised pay-off stands, spoolers and hydraulic tensioners.

7 Non-Destructive Testing & Rope Examination Services Principle of Operation The primary cause of wire rope failure is internal degradation due to corrosion and fatigue. This is an extremely serious condition which can remain undetected by visual inspection. In support of visual inspection techniques, Bridon offers customers a comprehensive non-destructive testing or examination service. The procedure for non-destructive testing (NDT) or non-destructive examination (NDE) is both simple and effective. Wire rope is drawn through a NDT detector or head which produces a powerful magnetic flux, sensors then measure and record the induction and the Hall Effect within the rope. Bridon s experienced technicians can interpret the data collected from this process to identify defects such as broken wires on the surface and within the rope, loss of metallic cross-sectional area and distortions. This is particularly effective if the position of defects can be accurately compared with earlier NDT traces to pinpoint any rope deterioration in the intervening period. Bridon On-Site Services can provide a complete package including initial NDT rope trace to give you a vital datum point for the lifespan of your rope. Bridon s examination and testing programmes have increased the safety and reduced cost for a variety of high profile rope systems worldwide and we continue to work hard to maintain this enviable reputation. Non-destructive testing of wire rope by Bridon is a safeguard no rope user can afford to ignore. Please contact Bridon On-Site Services for further information and advice.

Continued investment in infrastructure, the latest equipment and on-going development of personnel ensures that our customers and partners receive technical support of the highest standard. Our specialist metallurgical and chemical analysis of metals using atomic absorption emission and transmission electron spectroscopy can identify the precise concentration of trace elements, impurities and the microstructure of samples. We can help you use this information in conjunction with our extensive knowledge of rope applications to determine the optimum mechanical properties and select the best solution for a specific application. Bridon Services offer: Specialist metallurgical & chemical analysis Rope Destruction Testing Mechanical testing Bridon s purpose built test rigs enable a wide range of standardised and some unique tests to be conducted that can accurately characterise the mechanical properties of wire and wire rope. Our wide portfolio of mechanical testing includes: Breaking load Tensile compression Tension & bend fatigue Test results can help identify extension and diameter loss characteristics and provide insight into the number of broken wires expected or encountered during the lifetime of a rope. Bridon Analytical and Technical Services can also conduct a detailed examination of wire rope to discover the cause of rope failure and early discard. Subsequent analysis of this data can then be used and to produce recommendations to help prevent future occurrences. Please contact Bridon Services for further information and advice.
