Safety and Rope Access

Rope access is a set of techniques that utilise ropes and various specialised hardware in order to produce safe, versatile and cost-effective solutions to a myriad of vertical access problems. Some of the main reasons why you should consider hiring a rope access technician is that rope access is extremely safe, reducing significantly the number of accidents, as well as lost-time incidents involved with working on a rope.

Additionally, rope access is also versatile, which means that qualified technicians can work in a whole range of environments, including, but not limited to confined-space penstocks to concrete structures and steel installations. What’s more, rope access also enables for custom-access solutions to be developed to fit the unique needs and specifics of each project. By lowering the number of incidents and providing you with a quick and effective way to solve any vertical access problems, rope access is also extremely economical. The faster completion and fewer personnel required also mean that less equipment will be utilised and the minimal downtime, associated with the procedure additionally reduces your costs.

Rope access is increasingly used by civil and structural engineers, maintenance workers, construction workers and painters, as well as high-rise window cleaners or tower and antenna installers. Rope access can be utilised when repairing or painting a concrete building, for set installations, instrument installations or structural inspections, as well as geological surveys and photography and cinematography. As already mentioned, rope access is incredibly versatile, which makes it suitable to almost any type of vertical project, ensuring less downtime, reduced costs in terms of personnel and equipment, and faster and more efficient completion of the project.
