Dreps

Brugg CTP® coated ropes recently received American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) approval for use in North America. The approval came about through creation of Part 5, a new section of ASME A17.6 code authored by Pat Dreps of Brugg Lifting North America (BLNA). A member of the Mechanical Design Committee, Dreps’ work to create the new section of code took approximately three-and-a-half years. Dreps conducted research, analyzed data and consulted with industry experts to ensure the new regulations are safe, effective and practical. In addition to creating Part 5, Dreps also revised the existing A17.1 code to reflect necessary changes resulting from the new section. “This required a thorough review of the existing regulations to identify any conflicts or inconsistencies that needed to be addressed, as well as a detailed understanding of the new section to ensure that the two parts of the code were complementary and effective,” BLNA President and General Manager Joseph Thompson said. “The novel Part 5 is a testament to Dreps’ expertise and dedication to the field, as well as the importance of the ASME elevator code in ensuring the safety and reliability of elevators in North America
