Intercomp recently partnered with Puerto Cortés in Honduras for the installation of Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) systems.  The integrated systems are monitoring vehicle and container weights for Method 1 SOLAS compliance at the gate of the port complex.   

The Florida DOT had a static weight enforcement site out of commission, so they utilized portable scales for static, in-ground use.  LS630 portable scales were deployed at a permanent weigh station to gather legal (static) weights for multiple weeks, allowing for weight enforcement with the NTEP approved scales and weighing indicator.

Measuring force applied when recovering or de-bogging an aircraft requires ensuring the aircraft components aren’t overstressed during the process. With Intercomp tension link dynamometers, pulling force is measured so that operators can be sure they are operating within the allowed force range.

With SOLAS Chapter VI Verified Gross Mass (VGM) regulations coming into effect July 1st, 2016, port and terminal operators are working quickly to implement solutions that would minimize disruption to their operations.   

Intercomp continues its history of continuous innovation and product improvement with the latest updates to their HH400™ Handheld Indicator. With added features such as output to RFX™ enabled wireless printers, memory storage, and RS232 output, the HH400™ Handheld Indicator is ideal for monitoring and controlling scales for both suspended load and below-the-wheel applications.

Overweight containers have been an issue for years, so in order to make vessel stowage planning more efficient and safer, SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) rules requiring a Verified Gross Mass (VGM) of containers  prior to the containers being loaded onto ships have been issued. These requirements protect the terminal operator employees as well as the vessel and its cargo, and go into effect July 1, 2016.

The live event industry continues to grow rapidly, and as shows continue to up the ante, entertainment rigging has become more complicated with the loads becoming larger, and the margin of error becoming smaller.

Areas immediately around aircraft have the potential of fuel or fumes to be present, and this needs to be accounted for when servicing aircraft. Operating electrical equipment in aircraft hangars requires meeting stringent safety standards to protect the aircraft, equipment and personnel.

Intercomp is proud to announce exciting new updates for their LS-WIM Weigh-in-Motion Axle Scale Systems. Known for being a more efficient and cost effective alternative to older full size truck scales, American-made LS-WIM scale systems now feature a new purpose-built LS20™ indicator further solidifying LS-WIM scale systems as the preferred solution for a variety of truck traffic applications.

In an exciting finish in the 2016 Daytona 500, the Joe Gibbs Racing FedEx #11 Team took the checkered flag, the first Daytona 500 win for driver, Denny Hamlin. Throughout the race Hamlin and fellow teammate, Matt Kenseth, lead a total 135 of the 200 laps to demonstrate the dominance of JGR on the track.
