Rope Access is defined as a set of techniques in which ropes and specialized hardware are used to provide the primary means of support for workers to access and complete work. This is accomplished using a two-rope system. The main rope supports the worker and the safety, or back-up, rope provides fall protection.
Rope Access goes well beyond the “traditional” bosun’s chair and back-up safety grab. The ability to descend, ascend, and move horizontally in a safe and efficient manner is the core of Rope Access. Wherever Rope Access can take a worker, the ability to rescue is required. Rope Access personnel never operate without a rescue plan and on-site rescue capability. All this is accomplished utilizing the finest equipment, techniques, and endless training.

Versatile: Rope Access techniques and equipment allow the user to access any part of your structure in a safe and efficient manner. Among others, Rope Access can be applied safely to narrow gangways, high rises, and unusual building types.
Cost Efficient: Utilizing less manpower, time, scaffolding and heavy machinery affords the client services at a lower price then traditional access methods.
Fast: Rope Access allows us the ability to gain access to any part of your building using minimal time, space, and equipment. This keeps overall job time down, contributing to cost-efficiency
Minimal environmental impact: Specialized ropes, techniques, and equipment allow for the most minimal of environmental impacts. We keep noise, exhaust fumes, and heavy machinery to a minimum to keep your clients and neighbors going about their day.
