Safe and efficient lifting operations
Rope access lifting services
At Evolve we specialise in at-height lifting operations using rope access techniques. Our approach allows us to access hard-to-reach locations without the need for scaffolding. Traditional forms of access often extend a lifting operations duration as they need to be erected before installing lifting equipment, dismantled before the lift is carried out, and re-installed to retrieve the lifting equipment.
In contrast, rope access riggers can access the lifting points and instal lifting equipment, then swiftly move to a safe area while the lift is carried out.
With a focus on safety, efficiency, and precision, our team ensures that all lifting operations are completed with minimal disruption, reducing both downtime and costs.

Risk assessments and safety method statements
Thorough task specific risk assessments and safety method statements are the foundation of safe, efficient rope access work. At Evolve, we conduct site-specific risk assessments to identify and control hazards, ensuring that risks are reduced to acceptable levels.
Following the hierarchy of control measures, we assess and control hazards and risks, and create detailed safety method statements (SMS) that outline the safe system of work for all stages of every project. The SMS includes a comprehensive rescue plan to ensure our team is prepared for all stages of the task. This meticulous planning guarantees that every aspect of the project is managed safely, from start to finish.
