Our CUPS Approach

Corrosion under pipe supports is one of the leading causes of pipe failures. It is the beam supports and saddle clamps that have historically caused the majority of problems. Poor accessibility makes it virtually impossible to paint or otherwise maintain these locations; visual and/or NDT inspection are often difficult. Don’t let the accessibility of your pipe supports keep you from timely implementing an inspection solution to avoid costly pipe failures that can affect your operation and possibly the safety of many.

Why Let CUPS Impact Your Process?

Our in-service process ensures the correct solution is personalized to fit your unique needs.

Our Access Solution

Pairing our CUPS services with our rope access solution enables us to access hard to reach areas without the use of scaffolding that leads to three main benefits: cost savings, reduced schedule, and improved safety. Additionally, if pipes are needed to be lifted for mitigation, our team can lift multiples pipes or select pipes across supporting structure. Our method is safe, lightweight with minimal chance to damage the pipes during lifting. It is portable, with only a 1-2 man operating, and purely mechanical. No need for power or compressed air.

More about our Benefits:

Cost Savings

  • Huge cost savings, traditionally, 70% of project budget is spent on erecting scaffolding vs only 34% is needed to set up rope access, leaving you with more budget to do actual inspection work

Reduced Schedule

  • Increased uptime with reduced setup time compared to scaffolding. Reduced downtime = more facility up time. Saving customers $8K – $150K per day depending on the project.
  • Additionally, No need to wait for multiple permits

Safety

  • In one year, we saved customers more than 1 million exposure hours by using rope access. We reduce exposure hours and head count by up to 50%.
  • 68% average reduction to schedule and head count, more social distance, less COVID exposure risk
  • All of our crews are IRATA or SPRAT certified trades technicians

Inspection Techniques

  • Close Visual inspection (not possible on insulated lines)
  • Close Visual inspection (with lifting techniques)
  • EMAT (not possible on insulated lines)
  • Guided wave
  • Digital Radiography
