What is 'Technical Rope Access'?

Technical Rope Access is a form of specialised rope techniques that allows experienced workers to access hard to reach locations using methods derived from climbing and caving.

Technical Rope access enables access to areas that are not easily accessed by traditional methods such as the use of scaffolding and cherry pickers.

The use of rope access reduces the time spent setting up and dismantling access systems. It ensures repairs are tackled swiftly and with minimal disruption to normal operations. It provides cost saving on projects through the elimination or reduction of scaffolding.
