Why choose rope access over scaffolding

Teams rig and start in hours, not days
No scaffold hire, erection or dismantling costs
Little or no disruption to production, tenants or traffic
Small, highly trained teams with a full rescue plan on every job

Every rope access technician works on two independent ropes, a working line and a backup line, under a supervisor and a site-specific safety file. We work under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Mine Health and Safety Act, and we are a member of the Institute for Work at Height.

We prepared and repainted the signage band at the crown of Ponte Tower, one of the tallest buildings in Africa, entirely on rope access.

Questions

How much does rope access cost compared with scaffolding?

On short-duration or high-level jobs rope access is usually cheaper, because there is no scaffold to hire, erect and remove. We quote a fixed day rate per team plus site establishment, so you can compare directly.

Is rope access safe?

Yes. Technicians are always attached to two independent ropes, work in teams with a qualified supervisor, and every job has a written rescue plan.

Where do you work?

From our offices in Pretoria, Cape Town and Gaborone we work across Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West, the Western Cape, Botswana and the rest of Africa.
