Working at Heights - Inspections, Service & Maintenance​

Rope Access Systems

BAT Construction is proud to be Canada’s first IRATA Full Member company that specializes in geotechnical stabilization. Rope access systems are a safe method of working at height where ropes and associated equipment are used to gain access to and from a work position. BAT Construction’s ticketed rope access teams utilize rope access systems that are safe and cost-effective methods of gaining access to a project location that would otherwise be inaccessible. Rope access systems facilitate crews and associated equipment to perform various tasks at any vertical or limited access work locations. We provide a proven, safe and reliable support system while working.
The Advantages of Rope Access Systems Rope access systems provide a highly efficient and safe means of accessing difficult-to-reach locations. With this method, BAT Construction’s certified rope access teams can quickly and safely reach work areas with minimal disruption to surrounding operations, ensuring tasks are carried out swiftly and with minimal impact. Access the Inaccessible Rope access often serves as the only feasible solution for accessing otherwise inaccessible areas. BAT’s technicians are IRATA trained to ascend, descend, and traverse horizontally with a minimal amount of equipment, allowing them to safely and effectively work in the most challenging environments. Minimize Disruption Rope access offers significant time and space advantages over traditional scaffolding. BAT technicians can be deployed in a fraction of the time needed to set up scaffolding, eliminating the additional costs and congestion typically associated with large equipment. Our teams can conduct initial surveys, collect inspection data, and perform maintenance tasks. Additionally, they are often able to address emergent repairs within the same mobilization, reducing the impact on shutdown schedules and operational delays. Cost Savings Rope access provides substantial cost savings by eliminating the need for scaffolding and reducing overall project man-hours. The lightweight and portable nature of rope access systems allows for quick setup and operation, offering a more efficient alternative to mobilizing heavy machinery and equipment. This results in significant savings in both labor and equipment costs.
