Access around plant and overhead structures
Maintenance areas can sit above or between equipment within a manufacturing facility. Rope access provides an option for reaching these locations where it suits the task and structure.
Our manufacturing applications include work on:
- Elevated pipework and ducting.
- Structural steelwork.
- Plant and equipment surfaces.
- Difficult-access building elements.
The surrounding operations need consideration when defining the work. Tell us where the task is located and any known access restrictions.
Inspection and maintenance tasks
Industrial inspections and NDT
Vertigo provides industrial inspections, NDT and data collection where plant or structural condition needs investigation. Our technicians reach elevated equipment and structural elements for visual inspections, measurements and defect mapping.
Protective coatings
We undertake painting and protective coating work on industrial assets. Our capability also includes corrosion control for exposed components that require specialist access.
Building and structural repairs
The fabric of a manufacturing facility can need attention alongside its plant. Our trade capability includes concrete patching and cladding repairs in difficult-access locations.
Industrial cleaning
We provide access for industrial cleaning around elevated plant, pipework and ducting. Cleaning requirements can be included in a planned maintenance or shutdown scope.
Planned shutdown support
Vertigo supports maintenance tasks during planned shutdowns. Specialist access can reduce the need for extensive scaffolding where the work and structure allow.
The access approach must reflect the location and scope of the task. Our project planning includes risk assessments and safe work method statements for the work involved.
Rigging and confined-space requirements
Some facility tasks also involve restricted entry or the positioning of equipment. Vertigo’s broader services include specialised rigging and lifting, together with confined-space access and rescue support.
These capabilities can be discussed as part of the project requirements. The scope needs to be clear about the work Vertigo will undertake and the access needed to complete it.
Discuss your height safety installation
Tell Vertigo about the building or site, the areas people need to access and the work involved. Our team can discuss anchor points, static lines or access infrastructure for your project.
