Rope Access

Rope access is a form of work positioning, initially developed from techniques used in climbing and caving, which applies practical rope work to allow workers to access difficult-to-reach locations without the use of scaffolding, cradles or an aerial work platform.

The most common applications for modern rope access include removal and reapplication of insulation, inspection, surveying, general maintenance, painting. This can be carried out in almost all site environments. Examples include food factories, pharmaceutical plants, chemical plants and industrial plants.

Benefits of Rope Access

There are many benefits in using for rope access. Unlike traditional access methods, custom rope access solutions can be designed to fit various applications. The main benefits of rope access are:

Versatile

Rope access professionals can apply the techniques to a wide variety of environments, from confined-space penstocks to tower structures to complicated steel installations.

Cost-Effective

Rope access is very economical. Because fewer personnel are required, this means faster and safe completion of work scope which effectively means lower overall costs.

Efficient & Quick

Rope access systems are installed and dismantled quickly and require fewer personnel than traditional access methods. Less interference with other facility operations means less disruptions and minimised downtime.
