How we work

Every technician on our ropes is IRATA or SPRAT certified. Every site runs under a Level 3 supervisor, on two independent ropes, with a rescue plan in place before anyone leaves the roof.

Rope access for five kinds of client

Each kind of client asks a rope crew for something different.

Questions

The ones we hear on most first calls.

What is rope access?

A way of working at height on two ropes, a working line and a backup, each on its own anchor. Technicians descend from the roof to the work. It replaces scaffold and swing stages on jobs where setting those up would cost more than the work itself, which is most repair and inspection work on a tall building.

Is rope access safe?

Yes. The method is built on redundancy: two ropes, two anchors and a backup device on each technician. Everyone on the ropes is IRATA or SPRAT certified and a Level 3 supervises each site.

Is Moravia Prime insured and covered by WorkSafeBC?

Yes. Moravia Prime Contracting Inc is registered and in good standing with WorkSafeBC and carries $5 million commercial general liability insurance. A clearance letter and an insurance certificate are available with every quote.
