Rope Access

Power & Utilities

Hertel are committed to increasing safety and quality by using innovative alternative access methods whenever possible. Traditionally, access costs account for a substantial proportion of total maintenance costs.

Rope Access

With industry leading expertise, Rope Access is an intrinsically safe form of access for working at height or areas that are difficult to reach with traditional forms of access.

Furthermore, 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. All of our experienced personnel are IRATA qualified, ensuring that work is carried out in a safe, reliable manner.

Naturally, the flexibility of Rope Access lends itself to any of the industries in which Hertel work, in any location. Hertel’s experience is extensive, and includes power installations (including wind turbines), petro-chemical/chemical plants, and the maritime and offshore industries.

Of course, Rope Access is not intended as a replacement for traditional methods of access such as Scaffolding. However, Rope Access can often provide a more cost-effective, safer alternative in complex access situations.

Technicians are not only trained in access, but are multi-disciplinary operatives. Services offered can range from maintenance services such as coatings and insulation, to specialist services such as Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), inspections and plant integrity.
