We also have significant experience in construction work performed in hard-to-reach places using climbing techniques. If the repair or installation sites have complicated access and there is no possibility of setting up scaffolding or using a lift, that’s when we step in.
Many buildings, due to dense surrounding development, cannot safely set up classic scaffolding, and maintaining company lawns or urban greenery does not tolerate the entry of heavy construction equipment. Most work at height can be done using climbing techniques, practically without interfering with the daily functioning of the facility. Sometimes we remain unnoticed, like ninjas, while performing our tasks.
The aforementioned order had to be completed in the shortest possible time due to the building's functional requirements. Thanks to the use of climbing techniques for rope access, the installation of new fittings made to individual order went exceptionally quickly and smoothly. With our experienced team and efficient logistics, the new powder-coated fittings were installed, along with sealing, within 48 hours of entering the facility.
Climbing methods are often faster to implement and additionally much more cost-effective for the client. The costs of assembling and dismantling scaffolding or renting specialized lifts are eliminated. Additionally, climbing work minimizes the risk of damaging infrastructure and does not significantly interfere with the daily functioning of the buildings.
In spring, when the season begins and the demand for work at heights increases, orders related to roof repairs or quick maintenance and minor repairs after the winter season often arise.
In this case, we performed a re-anti-corrosion protection of industrial filter covers. It was not a job directly related to rope access; however, we had to create safety positions to prevent falls from height.
The work took place at a height of 17m, and due to limited space, we had to create a workspace at height from scratch. In every order, the first priority is always health and safety rules, while the time for completing alpine orders comes second.
The filter covers were cleaned of surface corrosion, thoroughly dusted, and degreased. The next step was to apply two layers of anti-corrosion paint.
Industrial climbers often carry out height work not directly related to rope access, such as roof repairs.
Roof repairs may not be typically alpine work, but often the places that need fixing are difficult to access because scaffolding was used during the construction of the roof, or some work was partially performed with basket lifts.
In such cases, it is best to seek help from a climbing company; thanks to the use of rope access, work in support is safe and efficient. Often, economic factors play a decisive role in choosing a height company. The work of industrial climbers will cost less than renting a lift or installing scaffolding.
An additional benefit of hiring a climbing company is likely the minimal impact on the ongoing functioning of the facility and the lack of need to restore damaged lawns and plantings, which might be necessary if work were done from scaffolding. In developed areas, a basket lift can also have trouble accessing.
Sealing of the roof has been completed, specifically the connections of fittings with the roofing felt covering the roof surface; at this stage, the damages were small enough that it was possible to secure them completely. The cost of roof repair really does not have to be high; it is only necessary to choose the right method for its execution.
