Rope Access Inspection

Rope access services involve using ropes and specialized techniques for safe access to elevated or difficult-to-reach locations

Rope access services in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) involve utilizing specialized techniques and equipment to access and inspect difficult-to-reach or elevated structures. IRSSB provides comprehensive rope access inspection services safely and efficiently. Assets located at heights often face challenges in undergoing necessary inspections where traditional access methods like scaffolding or platforms are impractical or costly; due to accessibility hazards, which can lead to escalating maintenance costs as damages worsen over time. Our rope access technicians use ropes to access difficult-to-reach locations, offering a cost-effective alternative to scaffolding and mechanical platforms. This approach ensures clients receive regular updates on their asset’s condition.

We also supply rope access inspection and maintenance teams to support turnarounds and shutdowns/outages, keeping your personnel and equipment footprints to a minimum. Rope access can help to optimize your work stoppages, as our technicians are able to safely work simultaneously alongside other on-site personnel.
