Industrial rope access
Scaffolding a storage tank can cost more than the work on it. Our technicians reach tank walls, structures and plant by rope, as on the fuel tanks we cleaned at Vancouver International Airport.
Industrial work we take on
We work to the site’s permit system and induction, and fit a rope access plan into your shutdown or operating window.
- Tank cleaning
Exterior walls of storage tanks washed from ropes.
- Inspection
Close visual inspection of walls, welds, joints and supports.
- Sealant and coatings
Joints resealed and coatings touched up on structures.
- Installation
Brackets, signage, netting and small fixtures placed at height.
- Standby rescue
Rescue cover for your own crews working at height.
Questions about industrial rope access
Short answers. Call us for the long ones.
Can you work on an operating site?
Yes. We work under your permits and exclusion zones and plan drops around operations.
Why rope access over scaffold?
Setup is hours, not weeks, and nothing is left standing against the asset. For short tasks spread over a large structure, that is most of the cost.
What site documents do you provide?
A rope access plan, hazard assessment, rescue plan, technician certificates, WorkSafeBC clearance and proof of insurance.
How far do you travel?
We are based in Vancouver and work across the Lower Mainland. Ask us about sites elsewhere in BC.
Fuel tanks at YVR
Two technicians, a pressure washer and a rope system: the wall of each tank cleaned top to bottom with the tank farm in operation.
