What is Industrial Abseiling?

We all know that recreational abseiling sees the participant descend from the side of a huge rock or other vertical surfaces, using a rope that has been coiled around the body from one end and attached to the highest point of the rock with the other end. And while this endeavour is usually performed for fun, Industrial abseiling is an industry technique used to improve and expedite maintenance practices.

What Makes Industrial Abseiling Such A Good Choice For Businesses?

Access

Experienced abseiling technicians can adapt their rope to the design of the building, making accessibility a more straightforward process. Unlike scaffolding, frames and scissor lifts, ropes provide the technician with a much more comprehensive range of flexibility to reach areas that may otherwise have been impossible.

Safety

Safety is the number one priority for industrial abseiling companies; with strategic measures and controls put in place, the abseiler can work on anything from window cleaning and repairs to routine maintenance with complete peace of mind.

Cost Effective

With less equipment and workforce required in the set-up stages, rope access is a much more budget-friendly option for many businesses. Companies often find this choice more attractive as this style of working has a considerable time-saving, and money-saving benefits.

Speed

Erecting scaffolding can be disruptive, timely and very loud. On the other hand, rigging the abseilers and performing all safety measures takes much less time and causes minimal disruption to the surrounding areas. Once workers can gain access to the exterior of the building, the work can begin; it is that simple.

Outstanding Service

Maintenance and repair work must be done on historic or listed buildings. These buildings require extra careful measures to ensure no defacement occurs during the scaffolding erection process. At times like this, choosing an industrial abseiling team is far more advantageous. There are less chances of damage to the building meaning the facade can stay intact.

For a good reason, industrial abseiling has become a much more popular option in recent years. With less time-consuming, disruptive access to any building’s facade, it is the most convenient and cost-effective way to maintain, repair or clean your building.
