Book your site visit
Pre-start site visits enable us to understand the work scope, and ensure hazards and risk associated with the work, structure, and operating environment are properly understood and controlled.
Pre-start assessments typically include:
-
Site-specific hazard identification: Identification and management of hazards associated with the work scope, structure, environment and surrounding activities.
-
Anchor point assessment: Review of available anchor points and provision of temporary anchor arrangements where required.
-
Debris and dropped-object risk management: Assessment of potential debris risks and implementation of appropriate control measures.
-
Environmental factor assessment: Consideration of weather, process conditions and other site-specific influences on safe delivery.
-
Rescue planning and verification: Confirmation that practical, site-specific rescue arrangements can be developed and implemented.
-
Third-party protection: Measures to protect other personnel, occupants and the public during works.
“Very detail oriented, professional from the start to finish.“

The benefits of rope access for installation and removal of glazing and façade elements
Rope access is a fast, cost-effective, and flexible solution for glazing and cladding work, offering a range of advantages over traditional methods like scaffolding:
- Cost-effective: Eliminate the need for expensive scaffold installation, hire, and removal, saving both time and money.
- Quick setup: Rope access requires minimal setup, allowing technicians to begin work quickly and efficiently.
- Minimal disruption: Our lightweight approach can avoid blocking access to the building, and reduces disruption for occupants and other operations at your site.
- Flexible access: Safely reach even the most challenging areas, including high-rise buildings and complex structures.
- Safety first: With a strong focus on safety, our technicians follow strict protocols to ensure every job is completed without incident.
