Rope Access

One more solution in your toolkit.  With a rope and skill, we find a way!  Rope access is another "think outside the box" solution that we provide for our customers and their unique needs.

Thinking Outside the Box

As rope access professionals, we use ropes to do electrical installations, repairs, inspections, maintenance, and other types of work. With this method, we use safety equipment and climbing techniques to gain access to typically otherwise inaccessible areas or otherwise to costly to access.
We work in confined spaces, limited access spaces, work sites above water, extreme heights, and more.  Gaining access via ropes allows us to safely and efficiently accomplish any task that our customers may need.

One System, Two Ropes, Two Technicians.

The Dual Rope System:
We use redundancy to ensure safety.  A rope technician has a primary and secondary rope - the second one in place as a backup. Redundancy is a must!

The Buddy System:
Used in conjunction with the dual rope system, this allows a rescue system built into every single project.

Benefits of Rope Access

Why is Rope Access the Answer?

  • Accessibility and Versatility:  Inaccessible space or situations?  Not a problem. Rope access techniques can be applied to a wide variety of environments.
  • Safety: Dangling from a rope sounds dangerous but rope access has a higher safety record than traditional access methods.
  • Speed and Efficiency: Quick (aka same day!) set-up and take-down of system.
  • Space: Takes up very little space and doesn’t pose significant disruptions to a work site.
  • Cost:  So many things boil down to the money and here’s a situation where it can be significantly more economical for your budget. There is virtually no cost associated with rope access setup versus swing stages, lifts, scaffolding, etc.
