One of the great advantages of working as an **industrial climber** is the lack of routine in the job; the variety of tasks assigned to us in height work provides us with constantly new emotions and challenges. However, we always start by ensuring our team has the proper, and above all, safe working conditions.
Each of our assignments is preceded by a **preliminary risk assessment**. Health and safety is fundamental, and we always prioritize it.
The next assignment involved replacing seals in residential buildings made of large concrete panels, using climbing techniques. The old seals, due to their age, had ceased to function. We undertook the task of removing the old seal, filling the gaps in the concrete panels with new material, and sealing them with a bituminous mass of increased durability.
In the case of this type of **work at height**, weather conditions dictate our working hours; we must choose the right time for placing each element so that everything bonds properly, and the resulting seal is durable. Climbing work in high temperatures is not the easiest, but as always, we managed well. It is important to remember to stay hydrated and take breaks during work.
The seals we have performed **using climbing techniques** can now confidently be counted in kilometers of repaired joints. We also assist in choosing the appropriate technology and the best materials for executing a given task. We place the highest importance on securing the work areas conducted at height.
Sealing buildings using rope access has become our specialization; however, this type of work at height requires good logistical planning and is unfortunately highly dependent on weather conditions. Rain and strong winds often prevent the execution of work at height.
Sealing of large panel blocks is particularly exposed to many adverse factors that cause their degradation, which leads to moisture penetrating the interiors of buildings. In the resulting gaps, wasp nests can often be observed, posing a threat to residents.
This time, we conducted rope access work in Silesia, where local tectonic movements caused by mining damage often lead to cracking or partial detachment of the seal between the panels.
In the case of such rope access assignments, we use materials with greater elasticity and stretch resistance, resulting in a longer lifespan for the completed seal.
It is also recommended to conduct regular inspections of the technical condition of buildings in such cases.
