Rope Access & Rigging

Rope access and abseiling enables our technicians to reach difficult locations quickly and safely so that they can conduct cleaning, service and repair work.

Industrial Rope Access & Rigging

Industrial rope access is a proven method for achieving safe work positioning at height or in hard-to-reach areas. 

Using a twin-rope system, a main working rope supports the worker whilst a secondary safety rope provides back-up fall protection, enabling access to otherwise ‘impossible’ locations.

This technique eliminates the expense and time-consuming setup associated with scaffolding, man boxes or elevated work platforms.

Whether you need maintenance, repair or cleaning services for high-rise buildings, confined spaces or industrial facilities, RIGCOM can help extend the life of your assets and maximise their efficiency.

"At RIGCOM, we specialise in accessing the inaccessible."

Our rope access technicians can be deployed according to the specialist trade skills required, including:

Maintenance and Repair

Following an initial inspection, RIGCOM’s rope access team provides a report that itemises necessary repair and rectification work with a full cost breakdown, as well as a recommended ongoing maintenance program.

Compared with traditional shut-down and repair work practices that have traditionally used heavy equipment and scaffolding, our innovative rope access methods provide improved cost and efficiency benefits in a fraction of the time.

Cleaning and Hard Water Stain Removal

From windows and solar panels to balconies and walls, our rope access team can reach every corner of your building or structure and have specialist equipment to keep their surfaces in good condition.  

Regular cleaning or high-pressure washing removes environmental contaminants from your building’s facade, extending the life of coatings and other architectural elements.

Our high-rise cleaning services ensure that your building is immaculately presented at all times, no matter how hard-to-reach the surfaces may be.

Rigging, Material Hauling, Glass Lifting and Installation

At RIGCOM, we provide expert material hauling, glass lifting and installation services for high-rise buildings and structures.

Our industrial rope access solutions offer a cost-effective, efficient, and safe alternative to cranes for rigging, lifting and lowering any sized object at height.

Our experienced rope access team uses advanced rigging and hauling techniques that adhere to the highest safety standards and industry protocols.

Leak Testing, Investigation and Repairs

Waterproofing failures on high-rise buildings are a significant concern for property managers and owners. At RIGCOM, our experienced rope access team specialises in high-rise leak detection and can access all areas of your building’s rooftop and façade. We conduct a thorough inspection and testing process to identify the source of the problem accurately.

After the inspection, we provide a detailed leak detection assessment that outlines the issues and the necessary repairs to ensure that your property remains protected against future water intrusion.

Window Re-sealing

Improperly applied or failing sealants can compromise a building’s structural integrity, pose safety risks and impact energy efficiency and occupant comfort through leaks and drafts.

Our rope access team specialises in repairing, re-sealing and re-caulking glazing joints at height, even in the most challenging or hard-to-reach locations. We ensure a professional finish that prevents water and draft ingress, enhancing the longevity and performance of your building’s windows.

This approach minimises disruptions to your business and facilities while ensuring the safety of your staff, pedestrians and the surrounding environment.

Exhibition / Event Installations

With our specialist rigging, hauling and rope access expertise, RIGCOM can handle exhibition and event installations that require work at height, whether indoors or outdoors.

Concrete / Crack Repair

Cracks, spalling concrete and concrete cancer can escalate into significant issues if left untreated. 

In consultation with engineers, our remedial experts and skilled rope access team can reach even the most inaccessible areas of a building’s facade or structure to identify problem areas.

We then remediate damaged surfaces using the appropriate techniques and materials tailored to the extent of the damage, circumstances and structural needs, ensuring a professional, long-lasting repair.

Painting

Our industrial rope access team excels in high-rise painting projects on buildings and other structures, handling everything from bridges and towers to stadiums and commercial or industrial buildings. No matter the finish, we are equipped to deliver exceptional results.

Whether you need coatings applied to a new structure or to restore, maintain or refresh an older one, our experts use rope access techniques to abseil to any location without costly scaffolding or cherry pickers. 

We ensure a professional finish that not only protects your infrastructure from the elements but also enhances its visual appeal, all while working safely and efficiently at height.

Standby Rescue

Standby rescue services are critical for high-risk projects involving work at height or within confined spaces.

Our experienced rope access rescue technicians can be quickly deployed to provide professional supervision and safety support, ensuring compliance and safeguarding your team while they operate in these demanding environments.
