At AIM our highly skilled inspection team aims to keep disruption to our customers and third parties to a minimum. Rope access can provide a cheaper alternative to cradles, scaffolding, and access platforms, especially on short-duration inspection work which often comes with limited working hours such as rail possessions, plant isolations, and planned shutdown periods. AIM's rope access team can get to areas that are very difficult to reach and inspect every inch of your bridge. Our rope access inspection services offer cost savings as well as time savings. With a focus on reducing the downtime of your asset, our inspection is completed safely, efficiently, and economically. Inspections vary from simple visual to (more in-depth examinations) full in-depth tactile examination, detailing corrosion effects, dimensional analysis, and condition, through to full Non-Destructive Testing of metallic and reinforced concrete structures. The competence of our inspection staff is essential to provide peace of mind to our customers that the acquisition of information from the structure is not only relevant but gathered and reported in a standardised manner. We check for insulation problems, torque testing of landing bolts, substrate cracks and flaws, corrosion, paint or coating condition, sealant and waterproofing issues, leaks and water intrusion sources, structural integrity, and surface discontinuities.
