How MYR Group Is Elevating Safety Standards with AI Rope Inspection Services

MYR Group, a leading contractor in the electrical utility space, turned to Scope’s AI rope inspection services to ensure the integrity of their overhead stringing lines.

When you’re working on some of the most critical energy infrastructure in North America, there’s no room for uncertainty—especially when it comes to the safety and performance of your equipment.

That’s why MYR Group, a leading contractor in the electrical utility space, turned to Scope’s AI rope inspection services to ensure the integrity of their overhead stringing lines.

The Challenge: Precision and Safety Under Pressure

For MYR Group, maintaining safety while meeting tight project timelines isn’t just a goal—it’s a necessity. Every inch of rope used in overhead stringing must be up to the task. A single unseen flaw could mean not just equipment failure, but also millions in damages, project delays, or worse—loss of life.

Traditionally, rope inspections relied on visual checks and the trained eye of field workers. But in an era where utility line rope failure prevention is critical, MYR Group knew they needed more than guesswork. They needed data.

The Solution: AI-Powered Rope Diagnostics in Action

Using Scope’s advanced AI-powered rope diagnostics, MYR Group was able to scan, analyze, and predict the health of every stringing line before deployment. Our non-destructive rope testing solutions give their field teams the confidence to move forward—backed by actionable data, not assumptions.

This isn’t just inspection. It’s predictive maintenance for rope systems, allowing teams to plan, replace, and operate smarter than ever before.

The Results: Safer Pulls. Fewer Surprises.

With Scope integrated into their workflow, MYR Group achieved:

Faster field inspections with real-time data reports
Increased project uptime due to proactive maintenance
Zero unexpected rope failures during high-voltage stringing operations

Documented safety compliance to meet internal and external audit standards

Why It Matters: Future-Proofing Utility Operations

As infrastructure projects become more complex and timelines more aggressive, rope safety compliance for utilities can no longer rely on outdated methods.

Scope gives utility contractors like MYR Group a competitive edge: the power to prevent failure before it happens—and keep their teams safe, their projects on schedule, and their clients satisfied.
