When you're building the future of energy infrastructure, safety isn't optional—it’s everything. Michels, a trusted name in utility and infrastructure construction, understands this better than most.
When you're building the future of energy infrastructure, safety isn't optional—it’s everything. Michels, a trusted name in utility and infrastructure construction, understands this better than most.
To stay ahead of the curve, Michels turned to Scope’s AI rope inspection services—integrating cutting-edge technology to ensure every rope on every project meets the highest standards of performance and safety.
The Problem: Rope Failure Is Too Costly to Ignore
In high-stakes operations like transmission line construction and horizontal directional drilling (HDD), the failure of a single rope can have catastrophic consequences—both in human and financial terms.
Traditionally, visual inspections and manual checks have been the go-to methods. But these approaches miss early internal damage and fatigue—leaving utility crews vulnerable to rope failure at critical moments.
The Solution: Predictive Maintenance That Prevents Failure
By incorporating Scope’s predictive maintenance for rope systems, Michels is redefining what it means to work safely and smart. Our technology uses AI-powered diagnostics and non-destructive rope testing to provide deep insight into a rope’s internal condition—before it ever reaches the field.
Through automated, data-driven evaluations, Scope enables:
Faster inspections
Objective safety ratings
Flagging of potential weak points
Documentation for safety compliance audits
This is more than innovation. It’s a new standard in utility line rope failure prevention.
The Results: Safer Jobsites, Smarter Operations
Scope’s partnership with Michels has helped create a zero-guesswork environment for rope health—saving time, reducing liability, and keeping crews focused on what matters.
Key outcomes include:
Improved safety protocols backed by data
Higher uptime with proactive rope replacements
Enhanced team trust in overhead stringing line equipment
Better compliance with internal safety policies
