Industrial Rope Access is the application of specialised rope techniques to place workers in hard-to-reach locations in the vertical environment, using well established safe techniques.

It is an efficient method of accessing structures for surveys, maintenance, installation, repairs, and inspection using advanced roping techniques. By minimising disruption at ground level, Rope Access often allows other trades to continue working.

Rope Access is a modern innovative technique which allows technicians to perform many tasks, including welding, fabrication, fabric maintenance and inspection such as non-destructive testing (NDT), which previously required scaffolding.
