Cost
When it comes to cost, rope access is comparatively more affordable than scaffolding. Not only does industrial rope access require less equipment, it also is quicker and reduces wasted time on construction. Remember that time equals money and when you choose scaffolding, you must pay for the operatives to erect the structure and then to complete the work at hand.
The cost of supplying the scaffolding also increases the price of choosing this method. In the end, the combined cost of scaffolding will outweigh the cost of simply hiring a small team of rope access technicians.
Aesthetics
Unlike scaffolding, industrial rope access creates minimal architectural impact. Scaffolding, on the other hand, not only takes days (to weeks) to construct, but it is cumbersome and will not go unnoticed while it is in place. Since rope access requires less set up and space, it requires very little in the terms of ongoing maintenance costs, and makes for easy return visits should the project take time to complete.
Industrial Access provides high angle access for industrial chimney/smokestack repairs, inspections, or maintenance. We feel that for most circumstances, rope access techniques are the most practical way to complete tasks that would otherwise involve significant expense, time, or plant outages.
Safety
Although rope access methods appear perilous, they are far safer and have far better safety statistics than any other means of high access. Technicians are rigged to two separate ropes, one acting as a fail-safe should the main line break, and the tools they used are also tethered to them so that passersby can remain safe should a tool slip while in use.
Rope access is also recognized as the safest method for project completion due to the high standard of required training. Every rope access crew member must meet rigorous standards and pass tough evaluations that will ensure they are fully prepared for performing work at height safely and efficiently.
Speed and Flexibility
Speed and Flexibility
Without a doubt, industrial rope access requires less time and is a faster means of access than scaffolding. While it may take days to erect the required scaffolding to complete a job, the rigging for rope access takes merely minutes to a few hours.
Rope access methods are extremely flexible and are often the only option for certain tasks. Since rope access techniques do not require a large amount of open space beneath the work space in order to set up scaffolding equipment, extremely difficult to reach places can still be accessed. Domed roofs, breaching ducts, and other structures that are not easily accessible can be quickly inspected, repaired, or replaced with little trouble.
