Proof-load testing

Many of the components we manufacture are designed specifically to be used in single-line, safety-critical applications and require proof-load testing to prove both the design and manufacture of the finished product.

Our in-house Testing Department can perform proof-load testing up to 300 tonnes in various load configurations, including angled pulls and slip testing of clamp to umbilical/ risers or wire ropes, etc. We regularly design customised equipment for bespoke, unusual applications, and can work with your engineering team to design suitable tests for your products.

Engineers conducting proof-load slip pull testing on umbilical clamp
  • A workshop with green industrial machinery, metal parts, and tools. A worker with glasses and gray hair is working in the background, while a large metal component is in the foreground secured on a wooden platform.
  • Workers in safety gear operate large trenchless pipe bursting machinery outdoors.
  • Large industrial pipe, possibly for heavy machinery or construction, mounted on a metal frame within a factory or manufacturing setting.
  • A worker in safety gear stands in an industrial workshop near a large robotic arm lifting a part. The workshop contains various machinery, metal parts, and tools, with an open garage door revealing outdoor sunlight.
  • A large industrial machine or component with multiple hydraulic hoses and fittings, yellow-painted pipe, and metal frame in a manufacturing or engineering workshop.
  • Industrial workshop with green machinery and tools, including metal components and chains, on a workbench.
