If your project requires access equipment, or scaffolding etc, stop and think about rope access before you start throwing huge amounts of money at hiring access equipment.
This is a common error with a lot of projects where abseiling can be the method of access to undertake the tasks involved. Sure, some projects are not suitable for using this method, however if you were completing a building made out of precast panels and you wanted the expansion joints sealed, abseiling is the perfect way to go about it. A team of abseilers can seal expansion joints vertically once the scaff etc is gone. This means you can cut down on the length of scaff hire and save money.

If you need a facade survey, there’s a couple of ways to go about it. One is to get an engineer’s inspection, which can sometimes be the right way to go, depending on the problem. However, this costs huge amounts of money and if they need to get to difficult to reach places, the access equipment alone can cost significantly.
The most affordable and intelligent way to go about surveying a building’s exterior for repair needs, is to undertake a facade survey by abseiling.
Rope access is the best way to approach looking at the exterior areas of a facade to identify any obvious repair needs. Call an abseiling professional to find out how they can present you with information which enables you to make solid, informed decisions based upon the current status of your facade.

So you’ve noticed that the facade of your building has some concrete issues.
It’s in a location that’s too high for repairs to be done from the ground.
What do you do? Who do you call to help you with this specialised repair?
You can’t see it up close, so is it full blown concrete cancer? Or is it just a bit of thermal expansion pressure?
The answer to this, is to get an industrial rope access, or abseiling contractor to take a look at it. Getting a regular old builder, or concrete repairer to look at this stuff is not financially viable. Concrete spalling repair can be tackled quite easily by abseiling and the first thing you need to do is get somebody up there to take a look up close to see what needs to be done.
Engage an abseiling concrete repair professional to undertake your spalling repairs.

So your unit complex needs a repaint right? Maybe some concrete repairs and various repairs around the place?
You may have gotten a quote from a regular old painter and you’ve fallen off your chair when you’ve seen the price of scaffolding etc. The answer is painting abseilers. Abseilers, or rope access painters as they are known in the building industry, can access all the external areas of your unit complex without disturbing any tenancy. They can also do all the painting without needing scaffolding.
Many residential unit complexes have been painted this way & it is fast becoming understood as the best means of doing remedial work to a multi tenant property with the minimal amount of disturbance. Paint a unit complex with abseilers and you’ll never hire a painter who uses scaffolding again.

Concrete cancer can be explained fairly simply. It is the result of corrosion to the reinforcement bar in the concrete. Usually this happens close to the surface and then as time passes, the corrosion spreads through the rebar and can become a significant structural problem.
Repairing concrete cancer early is the key to preventing ongoing problems. If your repair needs are in a difficult access area, try calling an abseiling specialist for assistance in reducing the costs of access.

Concrete cancer can be spread across numerous hard to reach places on a building’s exterior by the time it’s discovered. This often requires large amounts of money to be spent simply setting up access to the areas of concern. This is actually avoidable by utilising abseiling techniques to descend to any particular area of a facade to carry out concrete cancer repair works.
Our personnel have all got loads of experience in dealing with concrete cancer and providing our customers with cost effective repair projects.

Concrete spalling is a dangerous thing if left to get worse and worse. A very small piece of concrete falling from height can cause serious injury, or even death. Apart from the obvious public liability issues associated with concrete spalling, it’s critical to maintain your building’s concrete areas so that this does not develop into full blown concrete cancer. Getting in there early is the key and doing everything you can to stop spalling developing further.
Rope access or abseiling as it’s most commonly known, can be used as the access method to get to a spalling repair on the side of a large building or any difficult access area.

High rise facades are difficult to paint by any means. However, of all the available means to access building exteriors to paint, abseiling or rope access, is the best and most flexible way to do this kind of a job.
Painting is one thing, but doing it at heights is another. Even with scaffolding, there are numerous risks associated with facade works of this nature. Abseilers can be in work position quickly and safely, ready to paint. Scaff and EWP is the old way of doing things. If you have a high rise painting project, call the highrise painters in who do it by abseiling.

Many people who manage buildings, or even painters themselves, look at the facade of a building and immediately think of all the access equipment and scaffolding they’re going to need to get access to the exterior of the building. What if you were able to eliminate the costs of all that stuff completely from your painting job? As a painter, this would make you hugely competitive and as a customer, you would be looking at a significantly reduced overall project cost. This is completely achievable by utilising industrial rope access facade painters.
Paint a facade of a building once using rope access and you’ll never do it again via the traditional means. So much money is wasted on projects just getting into work position. Don’t throw away money, call the rope access guys.
