Industrial Rope Access
Safe, efficient work-at-height access for inspection, maintenance and repair on structures where scaffolding or lifts are impractical.
Overview
Scope and purpose
Rope access allows qualified technicians to reach difficult structures quickly, with a small footprint and minimal disruption to operations. Where it is the appropriate method, it can reduce set-up time and cost compared with scaffolding or mechanical access.
CGE plans and delivers rope access work using recognised industry practices, with supervision, rescue planning and equipment control built into every project.
