Rope Access Services

For assets that are out-of-reach of traditional access and when scaffolding is not an option, IRS provides rope access services to safely complete inspection, maintenance, and repair services.

Rope Access Inspection Services

IRS safely delivers a full scope of Conventional and Advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Inspection Services via rope access. Often, assets situated at heights do not undergo the necessary inspections due to the hazards involved in accessing them, allowing damages to occur and worsen over time, leading to rising maintenance costs once the damages are found. Our rope access technicians utilize ropes to reach these difficult-to-access locations, offering a cost-effective alternative to scaffolding and mechanical platforms, enabling clients to stay consistently informed of their asset’s condition. 

Our rope access services encompass both conventional and advanced NDT services, including Eddy Current Testing (ECT), Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Radiography Testing (RT), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Visual Testing (VT), Acoustic Emission Testing (AE), Long Range Ultrasonic Testing (LRUT), Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), and Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC). The advantages of industrial rope access include rapid mobilization, minimal set-up time, and limited disruption to operations or services.

Rope Access Maintenance and Repair

Traditional access methods such as scaffolding, crane baskets, and man lifts increase risk exposure, crowd work areas, and add significant expense to projects. Rope Access is an efficient method for deploying and performing tasks such as corrosion removal and coating application, insulation installation and repair, lighting installation and maintenance, and painting and coating. Our multi-disciplined rope access technicians are trained and certified to conduct inspections and maintenance services, providing complete asset protection. Our Rope Access Inspection and Maintenance teams can support turnarounds and shutdowns/outages. Rope Access can help optimize work stoppages, as our technicians can safely work alongside other on-site personnel simultaneously. We specialize in providing Rope Access Services to the oil and gas industry, both onshore and offshore.
