Repair & Inspection Case Studies
Below are real examples of inflatable repair and inspection work carried out by Mobile PIPA Testing Wales. These case studies show common faults identified during inspection and the professional repair work required to return equipment to a safe, compliant, hire-ready condition.
This large inflatable slide failed inspection due to multiple anchor points being perished and no longer meeting strength requirements.
All seven anchor points were replaced using components manufactured in-house, including industrial-grade webbing and welded stainless steel D-rings.
✅ Successfully passed inspection
✅ PIPA certificate issued
✅ Returned to insured public hire
This inflatable slide failed inspection due to extensive stitching failure around rear anchor points and wall-to-platform joins.
Major structural repair work was required, including re-stitching and reinforcement of multiple high-stress areas.
Over 16 hours of hands-on machining and repair work was carried out to restore full structural integrity.
✅ Passed inspection
✅ Returned to service for the season
Anchor point failure is one of the most common issues identified during inflatable testing and inspection.
Damage is often caused during setup or removal, where webbing is struck by tools such as crowbars or lump hammers.
To pass PIPA inspection, anchor points must withstand a pulling force of 163kg. Any deterioration results in failure.
We routinely manufacture and replace anchor points using industrial webbing and welded stainless steel D-rings to ensure long-term strength and compliance.
Repairs, Inspection & Certification
If your inflatable fails inspection or requires repair to meet safety standards, we can carry out professional repairs and re-inspection efficiently and reliably.
Repairs can often be completed alongside inflatable safety testing, helping to reduce downtime and avoid repeat visits.
