Cost Effective, Efficient Alternative to Scaffolding - Industrial Rope Access
from web site
Surprisingly still Check out here in the onshore and domestic sectors, industrial rope access techniques have already been used for decades to provide work at height solutions, and so are now used to appeal to domestic building maintenance problems, cleaning painting and maintenance at height, and industrial and construction work. We'll be concentrating on the domestic / building maintenance side of industrial rope access (or industrial abseiling) in this post.
Rope access provides a safe and efficient mode of working at height. It is less obtrusive and more often than not quicker and cheaper than other work at height solutions and traditional height access methods such as scaffolding or a cherry picker. Rope access teams can be in and out with the the least disruption, generally for a fraction of the price. Rope access enables work to be carried out effectively in awkward situations and allows access to difficult areas such as for example rooftops, building facades, gutters and downspouts. This makes it ideal for just work at height on old tenement blocks and other multistory buildings, from cleaning to maintenance.
Examples of the sort of work that could be completed on ropes as an alternative to scaffolding are:
Gutter & Downpipe cleaning, repair & maintenance.
Vegetation removal from building facades, rooftops and gutters.
Stonework: pointing, cleaning and repair at height.
Roof repairs and rooftop maintenance.
Cleaning and Painting at height.
Higher level Electrics & Wiring.
Bird and Pest control solutions such as prevention netting.
Higher level Glazing Solutions.
Inspection and Testing services.
In fact rope access can be used in any situation where just work at height is necessary. Leaking gutters and the consequent vegetation growth on building facades (to name among the areas which might be tackled by industrial rope access techniques), can cause huge amounts of harm to a building and its stonework. The longer the thing is left untended, the worse the water damage and the damage caused by roots will undoubtedly be, and the more repair work and maintenance will be required in the long run, including stonework and pointing. The cost and logistics of using of most fa�ade access solutions however, including scaffolding and cherry pickers, often makes it impossible to handle these fairly minor issues before they become a major problem. They are therefore generally, left to keep to damage the building fa�ade until it becomes an issue that can not be ignored, of which point even huger expenses and difficult lengths need to be gone through to fix it.
With rope access however, a team will get to the issue area easily sufficient reason for minimal disturbance to the building or the general public, fixing the maintenance issue cost effectively and efficiently.
As we have observed, an extremely useful and cost effective alternative to scaffolding along with other height access methods, industrial rope access can be utilized in a wide variety of scenarios in domestic settings, from cleaning and maintenance to repairs, allowing work to be carried out where other solutions would simply be too expensive or logistically difficult to achieve.
