Planned lifting activities in restricted access locations
Lifting operations
Evolve Rope Access delivers lifting operations to support installation, maintenance and replacement activities where access constraints influence how lifting can be planned and executed.
All lifting operations are developed in the context of the work scope, structure and operating environment, with defined control measures, supervision and rescue arrangements.
Our lifting services process for diverse, complex environments
Evolve specialises in at-height lifting services for challenging environments. Our skilled team ensures that all lifting operations are carefully planned and executed with precision, meeting the needs of a wide range of industries.
- Site assessment and planning: We begin with a detailed assessment of the site, identifying the best access and lifting points, and ensuring all safety protocols are in place.
- Qualified team: Our team consists of IRATA-qualified technicians and NVQ, and OPITO qualified lifting specialists to ensure all work is performed safely and effectively.
- Equipment selection: We use specialist rigging and lifting equipment, chosen specifically for the task, ensuring efficiency and safety throughout the process.
- Efficient execution: Rope access allows us to quickly reach the necessary location, install the rigging, and complete the lift with minimal delay.
- Comprehensive safety measures: Our process includes detailed risk assessments, lift plans, and rescue protocols to ensure a safe working environment.
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.
The benefits of rope access for lifting operations
Rope access offers considerable advantages for lifting operations, particularly in elevated or difficult-to-access locations. By using specialised rope access methods, we reduce both time and expense while ensuring a strong commitment to safety standards.
- Faster setup: Rope access allows for quick rigging installation, reducing project timelines.
- Cost-effective: Avoid the high costs associated with scaffolding and traditional access methods.
- Minimal disruption: Rope access methods reduce the impact on site operations.
- Flexibility: Our team can easily navigate complex structures, providing access to difficult areas.
- Safety-focused: Rope access has an excellent safety record.
