Rope access is a safe and efficient method of working at height using ropes and specialized equipment. It is commonly used for tasks that are difficult to reach, such as building inspections, maintenance, cleaning, and construction. This technique is particularly useful in areas where scaffolding or cranes may not be practical or cost-effective.
Key features:
Uses ropes, harnesses, and climbing techniques
Provides access to hard-to-reach locations.
Suitable for high-rise buildings, bridges, offshore platforms and wind turbines.
It's fast, flexible, and cost-efficient compared to traditional methods like scaffolding.
Applications
Offshore oil and gas platforms
Inspection and maintenance of buildings and structures.
