Rope Access

Integrity NDT has qualified personnel accredited by Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA).

Rope access is not Integrity NDT core business today, but instead a method of access to perform an inspection, engineering or maintenance task. Integrity NDT currently provide inspection and rope access services to a wide variety of clients at various offshore and onshore locations.

 

 

 

Rope access for inspections can have significant advantages:

  • Access provision can be a significant proportion of projects costs. Rope Access techniques can replace traditional scaffold or platform solutions and offer clients significant savings.
  • A single point of contact for access and inspection teams - the client can realise project co-ordination and time efficiencies as Integrity NDT provide and manage both services.
  • Rope systems are quick to install and dismantle. By removing operational and time constraints, rope access services are often able to reduce the time window required to undertake work.
  • Rope access is statistically safer than scaffolding, and the use of IRATA qualified technicians and procedures further benefits project health and safety.
  • The versatility of rope access services permits a more flexible and comprehensive targeted service on, for example, inspection programmes. The Inspection Manager is no longer constrained to areas that can be easily reached by conventional means.
  • Rope systems are unobtrusive. This is a benefit for clients who own historic properties and wish to retain the visual integrity of the structure during inspection or maintenance works.
  • By minimising disruption at ground level, rope access often allows other trades to continue working when compared with the disruption caused by scaffolding.
  • By avoiding loading a project with high initial costs, rope access may allow work to proceed within shorter timescales.
