Rope Access

An alternative cost effective access method

Reduction of Project Times

  • Rope access is a safe method of working at height where ropes and associated equipment are used to gain access to and from the work place, and to be supported there. Initially developed from techniques used in caving, it answers the need for a simple, safe and adaptable means of access with its first large scale use being for inspections on the oil and gas platforms of the North Sea, now being used more and more on wind farms due to its speed, cost and safety record.

  • The nature of rope access reduces project time, lowering downtime and minimising the impact on ongoing operations, significantly reducing the cost to clients in comparison to traditional methods. Rope Access has brought tremendous benefits to our customers. CVS Energy are accredited to IRATA and all of our experienced personnel are trained to IRATA standards, ensuring that work is carried out in a safe, reliable manner.
