ABS Consulting Teams with CAN USA to Provide Safeport™ NDE Rope Access Services

March 22, 2007

Houston, TX – ABS Consulting has teamed with CAN USA to provide technical support and nondestructive examination of shore-based quayside, rubber tyred and mobile container handling cranes for the port and maritime industry with Safeport™ NDE rope access services. The team drew upon the expertise and best practices that each company could offer to the client— ABS Consulting with its in-depth knowledge of container handling crane design, construction and operation along with CAN USA’s utilization of industrial rope access technology to place highly-skilled technicians in remote or difficult to access areas. Industrial rope access offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional means of access, such as using mobile cranes, man-baskets, personnel carriers, staging, scaffolding, etc., that may impact or interfere with a port’s operations and may increase the risk of potential hazard to employees.

"The ABS Consulting - CAN USA team is ready to provide this innovation and assist the port or marine terminal in its evaluation of equipment to minimize the risk of catastrophic consequences," Dan Doyle, Inspections Services Group manager, ABS Consulting, said.
