Object state
Summary
:
The optical inspection of the ropes revealed damage to the coating, bulges, bubbles, rust spots and broken wires in the outer layer. No breaks could be found in the rope anchoring. Any bumps that are discovered are recorded and documented in a bump log. It is assumed that the occurrence of bulges was caused by larger deformations with cutting force redistribution in the center of the field, which were measured from 1990 onwards. From 2003 to 2007 no further changes could be measured. The seepage pipes at the abutment and the retaining foundation were driven over with a camera in 2005. This inspection showed that the pipes were sintered up to 70% or clogged by external influences and only a part of the pipes could be inspected by a camera inspection. In 2013 the drainage is to be made accessible with inspection shafts. Only then can a decision be made as to whether repairs can be carried out.
