Abseil Inspection

Historically the cost of providing access formed a disproportionate part of the total cost of many inspection and minor repair operations. The introduction of the industrial rope techniques (abseiling) leaves few surfaces which cannot be quickly and cheaply accessed for inspection, testing and maintenance purposes.

Abseil access used for building inspection and testing

Rope access is ideal in situations where small amounts of work must be conducted at scattered locations or where installation of a gondola/cradle or the use of a mobile access platform would be difficult or impossible. Typical applications include :-

• routine condition assessments
• sampling and in-situ testing
• minor repairs
• failure investigations
• leak testing/location and repair
• external 'hands on' inspections

At Sandberg rope access is conducted exclusively by Engineers and Inspectors who have been formally trained in industrial rope access techniques.

Participation in design, quality control, mock-up and on site testing as well as inspection has given our team broad experience in all aspects of cladding. This experience enables our team to appreciate fully the significance of any observations.
