The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies performs rollercoaster NDI services by verifying the condition of components to ensure uninterrupted service during standard operation.
Rollercoaster NDI
Rollercoasters and other amusement park rides face exposure to the same cyclical loading as bridges and cranes. Without regular maintenance, the constant unloading and loading of weight on the ride cause cracks in the structure. Inspectors use nondestructive inspection (NDI) methods to determine the status of various ride components without compromising the overall integrity of a structure.
The Importance of Rollercoaster NDI Services
Amusement parks require routine inspections of rides to ensure public safety. Rollercoaster NDI inspectors play a significant role in developing and maintaining safe and secure environments for guests.
