In most contractual situations, safety and quality are essential. Our standing in the field of difficult access solutions requires that people will have this thought at the top of our minds. However, like it or loath it, two questions are always on a clients mind when contract tenders are sent out:
"How much does it cost?"
"How long will it take?"
They understand the need for quality is high but don't actually want to have an excessive amount of expense. Tight control is exercised on those responsible for monthly or annual budgets and most times, strict time requirements should be adhered to.
In a day and time when so much appears to depend on the cost of oil, or currency fluctuations, time and money tend to be in short supply. Industrial Rope Access is really a major innovation in time/money saving working practices and contains resulted in the upward spiral of its use.
Industrial What!
Industrial Rope Access is a means by which personnel can access difficult to reach area's using specialised climbing equipment. The operatives are experienced to recognised standards and so are in a position to reach difficult locations, sometimes in a matter of minutes. Standard applications include:
* Bridge inspection/maintenance
* Offshore coal and oil: Inspection, maintenance, steel removal/installation, flare tip replacement and derrick inspection
* Buildings: Window cleaning, inspection, maintenance, electrical, sign installation
* Petro-chemical plants: Inspection, electrical and installation of equipment
* Painting and blasting of ANY large structure
* CCTV installation
* Dam inspection/maintenance
* Ariel inspection, maintenance
The list is nearly endless, Rope Access has been around for approx. 20+ years yet new applications are increasingly being found constantly.
More traditional techniques such as scaffolding or staging take time to erect, need numerous personnel and need to be taken down after completion, all increasing the monthly budget and operational time requirements.
