Rope access benefits

Rope access is a form of work positioning, initially developed from techniques used in climbing and caving, which applies practical ropework to allow access to difficult-to-reach locations without the use of scaffolding, cradles or mobile elevated work platforms MEWPs.

Many companies worldwide choose to resort to this technique of access for its numerous advantages:

• efficacy - shorter preparation and execution period
• efficiency - lower costs by eliminating transport and rent outlay for rigid means of access
• flexibility - almost limitless access regardless of height, perimeter and access conditions
• free means of access - free access, traffic and activity on the ground level; ropework access allows third party workers to carry on with their activities
• good functioning and visibility of the objectives where the work is in progress
• minimal breaking and entering risk - dismantling the access ropes at the end of each shift
• newest equipment specially designed, tested and homologated for this type of activity
• higher safety than with the traditional access methods
