Vertical Technology.

Industrial roped access specialists Vertical Technology is a market leader in undertaking works complicated by height and difficult access. Using engineers and technicians specifically trained in rope access techniques, Vertical Technology can reach and work safely at the most remote and inhospitable locations. Using a carefully considered approach borne from a wealth of experience at the cutting edge of roped access, clients can be sure that Vertical Technology will provide turnkey solutions to their difficult access needs. If your project has potential access problems, Vertical Technology can provide the solutions.

The term Roped Access describes a range of techniques derived from the sports of mountaineering and caving. These can now be used to gain access and work at many sites complicated by such factors as extreme height or depth, rough terrain or restricted space. Commercial roped access originated in the Alpine countries, where mountaineers were used to assist in the construction of cable-car systems. The technique eventually became established as an accepted part of the British civil engineering scene during the 1980's. Since then, improvements in equipment, techniques and training, together with the establishment of a trade association (IRATA) has helped to create a thoroughly modern and efficient industry. IRATA (the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association) works closely with the Health & Safety Executive and this has given the industry an enviable safety record; arguably the safest discipline in civil engineering. The range of civil engineering projects to which roped access can be applied is continually widening and it now provides industry with considerable cost-saving benefits, improved safety levels and all-round greater efficiency.

Traditional maintenance contracts carried out at height usually involve costly scaffolding and/or powered access platforms. By employing industrial roped access techniques to gain the worksite, these costs and environmental disturbances can be dramatically reduced. Britain's unpredictable climate means that works may be suspended for long periods of time until more favourable weather conditions permit the works to continue. With scaffolding, the meter is still ticking during these down periods. The rapid set-up time of roped access allows Vertical Technology site teams to establish or depart from the site quickly and easily, leaving no visible signs of disturbance and no potential means of access for unauthorised persons.
