5 Activities Made Easier by AllVert

Rope access is a fairly new and growing industry. But because it’s so new, many people don’t realize the benefits or how rope access can benefit them in their businesses or even in their personal lives. To help you learn more, we’ve put together a list of its most common applications.

 

What is Rope Access?

Before we begin, it’s important to know what rope access is. Essentially, it’s an incredibly safe and cost effective way to work at heights. Rather than relying on scaffolding or lifts, trained professionals work while suspended. Using this method, rope access technicians can access and work on buildings at heights without the heavy and often dangerous equipment other methods require.

This makes it much more cost effective than traditional access methods. Plus, rope access doesn’t interrupt the day-to-day flow of traffic in your business or building. Rope access is quickly becoming the most effective and efficient way to complete jobs at heights.

 

Is It Really Safer?

Yes, rope access really does provide a safer alternative to traditional access methods. Two governing bodies, SPRAT and IRATA, regulate the industry. A company with SPRAT certification is one recognized for their ability and credibility. IRATA’s rope access training is unparalleled. IRATA level 3 rope access technicians are some of the best trained in the industry. Rope access training is highly regulated to ensure all technicians maintain the highest level of safety in their work.

 

Rope Access Applications

Because this is such a versatile and growing industry, many people aren’t sure what these access methods can be used for. Rope access services can be used in a wide range of industries and for many different uses.

 

Maintenance

When your building, bridge, or high-rise is damaged, or needs to be updated or repaired, rope access is likely the best solution. Technicians get up close to complete repairs and maintenance, such as leaks, cracks, or painting. They can help you replace cracked windows or damaged balconies. With our help, you can keep your building looking its best all year round.

 

Examinations

You know you can keep your building or facility operating smoothly with regular examinations. However, traditional methods don’t get as close to your building, meaning they may miss important details in their examination. Our technicians, however, have the freedom to move and examine every part of your building. They perform visual and photo examinations so you know ensure nothing is overlooked.

 

Cleaning

Come spring, every building seems to be covered in a layer of dirt that needs to be washed. Cleaning your building can prolong the lifespan of your building’s exterior and help put your best foot forward. This spring, rather than paying for a traditional building washing service, why not try a rope access solution? We remove debris and dirt from your building to leave it streak-free and spotless.

 

Installations

Installations at height aren’t simple. Your regular maintenance team likely won’t be able to care of it themselves. Fortunately, whether you need new windows, flashing, or heat tracing systems installed, rope access can help. Trained technicians work at heights with ease to make sure your installations are completed quickly, safely, and properly.

 

Cinematography

That’s right. While this is a much less conventional use, many filmmakers and photographers will employ rope access in their work to help get the perfect shot. Our techs can position a camera in just the right spot or can help provide an extra measure of safety if the crew is working at heights.
