Why Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) on Cables Matters

In industries where wire ropes are critical - whether it’s chairlifts, gondolas, or suspension bridges, safety and reliability are not negotiable.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) allows us to assess the true condition of a cable, both inside and out, without causing damage. This means we can:

• Detect hidden internal corrosion, wear, or broken wires long before they become dangerous.
• Prevent costly and potentially catastrophic failures.
•  Maximize rope service life by replacing only when necessary.
• Comply with stringent safety regulations and industry standards.
• Maintain confidence for operators, inspectors, and the public.

Think of it as an X-ray for cables: seeing what the eye can’t, and ensuring every ride, lift, or load is supported by equipment we know is sound.

In our work, early detection is the best protection, and NDT is one of the most powerful tools we have to keep people safe and operations running smoothly.
