A safe and efficient technique used to access difficult-to-reach areas. It involves the use of kern-mantle ropes, full body harnesses, and descending, backup and positioning devices to perform tasks such as inspections, maintenance, or repairs at height or in confined spaces.

This is an internationally recognized and highly regulated industry, ensuring safety at every step. In Canada, rope access companies must adhere to strict provincial and federal standards, guaranteeing the highest levels of protection for workers. In fact, we detain one of the best safety records among all work at height methods, outperforming alternatives like scaffolding, man baskets, and cranes.

There are two recognized certifications in Canada which are: International Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA) and Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians (SPRAT. Hiring client who request workers holds either of these certification ensures the highest industry standards on their worksite.

This technique is the preferred solution for confined space operations, offering safety and efficiency. Using a dual-rope system—consisting of a work line and a backup line—our technicians can quickly rig for emergency rescue scenarios, ensuring a rapid and safe response, while remotely operating the rescue system.

Rope access is faster, more cost-effective, and less intrusive compared to traditional methods like scaffolding, man baskets, or cranes. It allows for easier access to hard-to-reach areas while minimizing disruption to the surrounding environment.

Rope access is used across a variety of industries, including oil and gas, highway work, telecommunications, wind energy, utilities, infrastructures, and more. It is particularly beneficial for high-risk, hard-to-reach work areas such as bridges, towers, dams, confined space, chimney-stacks and more.

Rope access is ideal for a wide range of projects, including inspections, maintenance, repairs, cleaning, and installations. Projects such as slope stabilization, welding, fiberglass repair, sensor installation, steep slope work, visual or Non Destructive Testing (NDT) inspection, and ironworking are required. It is the preferred access method when a minimum of disruption to the worksite is required.
