Rope access contractors in Richmond

Richmond means the airport, the port lands and mid-rise concrete kept low by the flight paths. We cleaned the fuel storage tanks at Vancouver International Airport by rope.

Work in Richmond

Salt air from the Strait of Georgia is hard on coatings and metal, and flat sites hold water against walls after rain.

Questions from Richmond

Local answers. The general ones are on the questions page.

Can you work on secure industrial sites?

Yes. We follow each site’s security, permit and induction process before work starts, as we did at the airport fuel tank farm.

Do you work on warehouses and tilt-up buildings?

Yes. Panel joints, parapet flashings and wall coatings are regular work for us, by rope, lift or swing stage.

Why are Richmond buildings mostly mid-rise?

Airport flight paths cap building height in much of the city. Mid-rise concrete is still quicker to reach by rope than by scaffold.

Which parts of Richmond do you cover?

All of it, including City Centre, Sea Island, Steveston, Bridgeport and Hamilton.
