We solve access problems through the application of teamwork and considerable practical experience of our management. We are the rope access company of choice due to our expertise, capability and over 18 years of extensive industry knowledge. Originally established in 2013, our quality of work and close working relationships with our clients have ensured that our reputation is the best in the region.
As a full member of the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA Certificate Number: 7105/O) and having achieved ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 quality standard, we prove our commitment to both safety and quality.
Industrial Rope Access is a proven method of achieving a safe work position at height or in areas of difficult access. It was initially developed from techniques used in caving to answer the need for a simple, safe, and adaptable means of access, with its first large-scale use being for inspections on oil and gas platforms in the North Sea.
As its value as a work solution grew, rope access developed onshore where it is used to undertake a wide range of work, including petrochemical inspections, industrial cleaning, general maintenance, repairs, geotechnical, and inspection work on some of the world's most iconic structures.
Height Riders provide clients with detailed method statements for any operation involving rope access. By identifying potential hazards and through effective risk management, IRATA companies can produce a safe system of work. This progressive and proactive stance has led to documented accident rates being low in comparison to other access industries.
A wide variety of tasks can be undertaken by our teams, who have received special training in rope access techniques in addition to their discipline skills. No compromise is made to the quality or qualifications of our personnel "on the rope".
The result is a highly flexible, efficient, and cost-effective service for work scopes where access costs would traditionally represent a significant proportion of the budget. Our services cause minimal disruption and allow our multi-disciplined technicians to access almost any location by ascending, descending, and traversing ropes.
Most large structures — from office blocks to vessels in refineries — can be accessed. Other examples include bridges, dams, chimneys, vent stacks, communication towers, storage tanks, pressure vessels, process plants, and similar structures.
