High-level inspection services
Rope access inspection for hard-to-access areas
Evolve offers comprehensive rope access inspection services for high-level and challenging locations. Our skilled technicians use advanced rope access and inspection techniques to safely assess the condition of your structures, assets, and equipment, reducing, where applicable, the need for scaffolding or MEWPS.
We can provide rope access inspectors qualified by PCN in non-destructive testing methods.
Rope access inspection: A faster, safer, and more cost-effective access solution
Rope access has rapidly become the preferred solution for inspection work, offering a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional methods such as scaffolding or Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs).
This technique involves highly trained technicians using specialised climbing equipment to safely reach difficult or high areas. It significantly reduces the time and costs associated with setting up scaffolding or moving MEWPs around a site.

The advantages of rope access inspections
One of the key benefits of rope access is its ability to provide comprehensive coverage in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods.
Technicians can easily navigate complex structures, reaching even the most awkward areas quickly and efficiently. This allows inspection projects to be completed faster, with minimal disruption to ongoing operations and quicker turnaround times.

-
Cost Savings: When using traditional access methods like scaffolding or Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPS) for inspection, a significant portion of the project budget can be spent on installation, removal, and hire costs. Rope access reduces these overheads, allowing you to direct more of the budget towards the inspection itself.
-
Flexibility: Another key advantage of rope access is its ability to provide swift responses for inspections, particularly for time-sensitive maintenance or ad-hoc tasks. This flexibility is crucial in industries like oil and gas, construction, and infrastructure, where downtime can lead to significant financial losses.
-
Safety: Working at height always carries inherent risks, rope access minimizes the time spent at height and reduces exposure to hazardous conditions. Technicians undergo rigorous training and follow strict safety protocols, ensuring that inspections are conducted safely, reducing risks, and improving the overall safety performance of the project.
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.
